This is one of the first activities of the GIN club. It brings together members who usually participate in different activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We typically meet about 6 times a year, although the actual timing is very flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of each year, the co-ordinator finds six “volunteers” to organise a lunch and agrees rough months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is then up to the organiser to select the date and find a suitable restaurant in our area that offers a reasonably priced \u201cplat de jour\u201d and can seat 20-24 members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organizer mails out a letter announcing the date and details of the venue, co-ordinates the reservation and takes care of collecting the money to settle the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are usually about twenty lunchers and have fun in getting to know each other better over a good meal and a glass (or two) of wine, plus discovering a variety of new restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch is usually scheduled to start at 12:00 and we usually finish about 14:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
