We usually lose an hour or two mid-meeting as people wander off to shop/eat,
so maybe we should think about lunch options between now and Sunday week.
I could whip up a batch of my chilli (certain members ate some in 2000), but
I would need to have an idea of rough numbers (reply here or email me).
With my travelling crock-pot, it's just a case of heat and eat.
