bit harsh there Adrian
Putting this issue aside it was a very good night and we had members from SWB that made the trip from far and wide - thank you all for making the effort.
We have agreed with the landlady at The Globe that next time the following will happen, not because of the balance but because it makes it easier for them to deal with us all.
When we arrange the date and post the menu, because of the numbers we usually bring, pre ordering is essentail.
When you pre order, your name will be taken so they will be ale to make the food to order and it will save time on the night and help out the kitchen staff.
Upon arrival, you will then go to the bar and pay for your meal as you would normally if you had just popped in.
If you want a drink during the meal there won't be any tabs, you'll have to make the long walk to the bar and buy as normal.
This way they don't have any problems with a surprise balance at the end of the night and we keep our good reputation with the pub. I know it sounds a pain but it's not really when you think about it.
So far with last nights balance, I have paid for it using site funds.
I don't want there to be a witch hunt over it, however anyone who does want to make a payment, whether it's for their balance or just out of the kindness of their heart, i will keep quiet on the names to save any awkwardness ongoing.
