GIN Club Lunch Weds 20 October 21

A GIN Club lunch was held at the Founex Tennis Club in warm conditions on their semi-outside, semi-inside terrace. Most opted for the Filets de Perche which at chf 38 is perhaps market rate but substantially more than the alternatives (eg lasagne at chf 23 – so it was made sure that the final bill was settled properly with each paying for what one had ordered). Both came with a salad, and all 17 of us seemed to enjoy the good food, beer, wine and convivial company. We were blessed by the occasional confetti of autumn leaves dropping through the gap in the rain cover. Early leavers (including golfers) meant we then mixed a bit and were able to chat with others down the table.

Attending were :

Alan Peters
Brian Allardyce
Brian Clark
Dave Gernandt
David Colledge
Hubert Pettingell
Mark Warren
Mark Watts
Michael Hempstead
Paul Socachewski
Peter Drew
Peter Taylor
Reinier Tervooren
Rob Pashley
Rudi Pluss
Sander Winckel
Terrence Gale

with a number of apologies for absence including Alan, John, David, and Trevor.

Table Pano – note the sky-scape through the wind screen – it gradually clouded over

I enjoyed it, I know Rudi did and others seemed to too.
