Bumped for peoples reference,thanks to those who have already replied.......its appreciated.

Hi every one,

I have had a call from the George Hotel who have had several enquiries from people booked in or are booking to stay for the Burghley Event asking whether they are booked for the
group meal on the Saturday night.

I've reposted the diners list which is currently at capacity of 46.To avoid continued confusion on the George's part could you please check that you are on the list,
If you are on the list you are confirmed as dining and have your seats reserved for you.

The George has now requested that I confirm the names of diners who will be resident for the evening meal and also the names of other diners such as myself
who will be attending the meal but will not be staying as a hotel guest.

For the 46 diners could you please e-mail me with your real names as I can't tell them such things as a Moose, 2 GT's a Jockman etc. and confirm if you are resident at the George hotel or not.
Cheers

Ed the bewildered.

Hi Molly,

No worries on your front,I've got you booked,boxed and hosed ready to go.

Its some of the newer guys and gals I'm struggling with but all will come good I sure,its the George wanting extra information and I haven't
got a scooby on all that have booked.....confused

No problems though I'll sort it this week or next.......can't see what all their panic's about really.thumbup

This morning I have sent out e-mails requesting information to those people that I do not already have the information needed apon.


If you are on the list to dine and haven't received an e-mail that is because I know your details and require no further information at this point.

If anyone books the George from today could you please let me know for my record as no doubt before the event at some point the George
will be back on to me asking questions about residency again.

Sorry to be a pain but I'm only the messenger on this one and merely carrying out instruction.

Cheers,

Ed the slightly less bewildered by it all this morning......lolthumbup

Morning all,

I've been fiddling about on the pre event meal and have been advised that a little nearer the time that a choice of menu's will be available to choose from,
at that point I will post up the choices that will have been made available by the Head Chef at the George.

We shall at that time have to democratically decide which set menu gets the vote,any bodies special dietary needs will be established and sorted at this
time too.

The George has informed me that all meals for larger parties such as ourselves must be prepaid,yes its a pain in the arse but this appears to be the way of things.

When the menu has been decided apon and probably about a month before the event I shall be requesting payment sent to myself if that ok, as I will have
to make one payment in full to the George.I shall let everyone know my home details by pm so that cheques may be forwarded please and thank you.

I'm sorry if this is a bit of a arse about,but again I'm only the messenger.

Don't quit know yet how people's grog is going to be billed but I'm not going to worry about that for the now,probably best to just book it to some poor unsuspecting sods bill…..hehe

Hopefully this meets with every bodies approval and as I say I'm only the messenger trying my best,if you have any issues,worries or concerns please shout and I'll
do my best to sort it.

Thanks,

Ed.

Just updating the Diners list for the Saturday night 26th July,if any one can no longer make it please let me now asap please.

The following people are currently down to attend so here follows the listing prior to offering your choice of meal.

Ed & Eleanor Cunningham
Nick & Rachel Toms
Simon & Glen Lamb
Phil & Karen Halliday
Tony & Lorna Hall
Peter & Lynn Lloyd
Andrew Howson & Mhairi Kirk
Les & Jacquie O'Dea
Tony & Jenny Duckhouse
Marcel & May Tay

I still have the reserves registered so don't worry your not forgotten.

The George suggest,to keep it simple that we choose from a 2 item menu offering a choice of 2 starters,2 mains and 2 desserts,they suggest this as the most popular choice.

To Start,

Melon with Tuscan Ham and Fresh Figs.
or
Minestrone Soup with a Garlic and Parmesan Crouton.


The Main,

English Sirloin of Beef,roasted rare to medium,with Yorkshire pudding and hot horseradish sauce carved off the bone.
or
Poached Fillet of organic Salmon with Prawns,tomato and butter wine sauce.

All served with fresh seasonal vegetables and potatoes.


The Desserts,

Profiteroles with Chocolate sauce.
or
The George's Sherry Trifle.


To End,

Coffee or Tea with Truffles.

The cost per head for your choice of meal is £39.95 per head,which as I've mentioned previously is pre payable in advance so nearer the time I shall have to do an Uncle Bob and get you
all to forward your loot so that I can make one full payment to the George.

I understand that our tables will be laid out with your name cards identifying your place as to aid the staff in serving your meal swiftly and correctly with the least of fuss.

Drinks for those staying in the hotel as residents may be charged to your room but non residents guests must pay for their drinks before leaving the Hotel as individual tabs will hopefully be recorded by your place at the table and your name.

This menu is their most popular choice,so if it suited everybody it would make life so much easier,please have a think and let me know your thoughts as I would like to arrange our requirements sooner rather than later as it appears I've got quite a lot on……...yes.

Thanks for your anticipated response and if you are in touch with each other please mention the post in case any one misses it,it might also be a good idea to pm me to let me know you've read this or even with your choice if thats ok so I'm not left in the dark…..confused

Cheers,

Ed the slightly shell shock and bewildered……..thumbup

Thanks for those kind words of encouragement there Rob……….its going in the right direction but dealing with the George can leave you feeling
slightly bewildered……..scratchchin

Good shout Andrew about getting in early as a drive around Rutland Water and a few photo's by the wet stuff would make a great start to the weekend.

I also agree on the George being a great place but it still has the odd Dragon running round the place at times……….whistle

Hi all,

Just to let you know today you should have received a payment request from myself to cover the cost of your meals,I've sent out 2 emails the first for all those with standard
requirements and a second to the 3 couples with a differing dietary requirement.

The mails have gone to the email address I have so in some cases they will be at you place of work so don't worry if they haven't popped up at home today as I appreciate it is
a Bank Holiday.

If you could forward the required funds via the details provided by the 30th of June it would be appreciated please so that I can make one transaction to the George Hotel.

Once payments are in I shall confirm anything and everything that may be relevant.

Many thanks,

Ed.

The George runs a smart casual theme so Shirt and Jacket is fine,a tie,dickie or otherwise is your choice or option.

The George doesn't go for Jeans and Trainers in the Private or Oak Panelled Dining rooms so its best to steer clear of any sort of sports wear…………..

But being its you that asks Steven and knowing your slightly off the wall I will if you wish make a special request if you insist on wearing your Speedo's
and snorkel……..biggrin.

Once everyones coughed up and confirmed I'll post up a better plan with timings for the evening and answer any questions if any arise………..thumbup

Best handbag now Ness...
