Well this is a superb response, eleven or twelve diners! Thank you.

I have booked the table under the name "English Forum" from 7 pm. It is a small restaurant, and not at all stuffy, so jeans and sweater will be OK.

Looking forwards to meeting some new people in Bern. - Alan.

Thank you all for coming to this event, altogether we were 11 members. I hope we have broken the "stay at home" spell.

The next meal together is a Fondue on Tuesday 29 November, supposedly the best place for this national dish is the Harmonie near the "Zytglogge"

There is an old rule to eating Fondue: if you lose your bread in the cheese pot, you have to pay a penalty. This can vary between singing your national anthem song, kissing the nearest person on your left, or buying a round of drinks. We will decide exactly on the penalty matter before we start.
