OK, now that I fixed the event timing, the registrations have gone away.
Anyway: Carlos, it is pay as you go for drinks/food, the conversation is free

as I am not a teacher. My friend who has been coming quite regularly is a a qualified German teacher, but she can't come this Wednesday.
One suggestion is ALL BAR ONE. I will call them on Monday evening to see if I can reserve a table. So, yesses and maybes, please make yourselves known.
