Restaurant, Friday evening

A table for 15 has been booked under the name proz.com at:

Browns Restaurant & Bar
5-11 Woodstock Road
OXFORD
OX2 6HA

Tel: 01865 511995

(click on the link below for menu and drinks list)

http://www.browns-restaurants.com/location_pg/loc_ox.html

The table is booked for 7.30pm (this is the latest time they can accept bookings on Friday). If you would like to add your name to the list, please contact me through this page. If more than 15 people are interested, it may be possible to reserve more tables. They get very busy on Friday evenings and are unable to hold the table for us if we are late, so please arrive on time.

After dinner the plan is to go to the pub across the road, The Royal Oak (around 9.30pm-ish), so if you would like to meet up with us later you are more than welcome. There are several rooms in the pub, so I suggest we meet up in the largest one, which is the first one on the right as you go in through the entrance.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with English licensing laws, pubs stop serving at 11pm.

Francis, thank you very much for adding me to the list for Browns Restaurant.
By the way, I am writing from Alessandro's account but I am not Alessandro...
My name is Alessia Nasini and I will be attending the powwow on behalf of Alessandro (I work as in-house translator in his translation agency).
I am looking forward to meeting all of you in Oxford.

Restaurant, Friday evening
UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE

New note added Thursday 25 November 08.15hrs

Please note that this list will 'close' this evening, Thursday 25 November at 22.00hrs Norwegian time (21.00hrs UK time), so if you would like to make a booking please do so asap.

Seating for a further 15 people has been booked at Browns.

Here is a list of practical information:

1) There is a separate bar at Browns where we can meet before sitting down for the meal. I suggest that we meet in the bar at 7pm. When you arrive please let them know you are in the proz.com party.

2) We can pay for the meal in small groups (3-5 people). When you sit down at the table decide who you are going to split the bill with BEFORE ordering any food or drink in the restaurant. Then let the waiter know who is in your group.

3) It would make it easier if you paid by cash rather than credit card (or one credit card per group). So, bring enough banknotes and coins to cover the cost of your meal and drinks (check out the menu through the link below to get an idea of the cost).

4) I will be unable to take bookings after Thursday 25 November at 22.00hrs (10 o'clock in the evening) Norwegian time, which is 9pm UK time. I will be faxing the list of names to Browns Restaurant & Bar shortly after 22.00hrs on Thursday 25 November as confirmation of numbers.

(Thank you Claudio Chagas for recommending this restaurant and providing the address and website details)
