DantesDame, let me know if you would like me to do the booking - don't want to confuse the staff with a potential double booking....

Book away! I just now realized that this is tomorrow and holy table settings! Twenty four?!!??! So much for a small gathering


When reservations are made, please post up what they're saved under, so we know who to ask for when we show up. Danke!

Okay. Who made the booking? Is that booking for 20, our booking or someone elses? OUrs should have been for 24, plus possibly another 6.

I don't want to trot over now and find that I am double booking. NOr do I want to not go over, and find that we have not booked at all and that the 20 is a totally different group.

So, if anyone has booked, please let me know asap.

Re: Basel Meet Up - 2

Okay, whoever made the booking for 20, did so over the 'phone, but the restaurant staff did not take a name. I have tried phoning that number but am getting no reply.

Please, if it was an EF person making the booking for our group, let me know eithet here, or in a PM. I have promised to go back to the restaurant tonight, to let them know whether they have two groups of over 20 tomorrow, or just one.

Right! Don't anyone else phone the restaurant!! I will go around again shortly to confirm our booking and noone elses.

To those who are asking, it won't be necessary to be asking for a booking name - the restaurant is small and our group will be obvious.

Dante, I will send you a PM as soon as I get back in again.

Re: Basel Meet Up - 2

Done! We have a confirmed booking for 24, with the possibility of up to another 6 ( the maybe's. ) the restaurant staff were very apologetic just now, even though nothing was their fault. Very nice people. So see you all there tomorrow at 7pm.

Re: Basel Meet Up - 2

30 people?

So much for my original thought of a "cozy group of 6-7 people"

I'm opening a book on how many will actually turn up. My guess is 16. But I'd love to be proved wrong and see dozens turn up.
