11 October 2024 – Monday Ramblers Monthly Meal

 Our second lunch was at the Pensionista in Jalon

There were 27 of us, a few more than last month

Gary has taken on the role of organising these meals

He does so by means of a WhatsApp on which all members are included

Two weeks before the meal he posts the location and time of the next meal

Those who want to attend then have one week to reply

He then books the meal and confirms who is attending

I don’t have a smart phone, so we use Jan’s phone

This means that I am not always up to date on what is happening

This can cause a problem if we have a new member

Or indeed if an existing member ignored my email telling everyone about the WhatsApp group

Two new members, Lorraine and Adrian, wanted to join this meal

But when Gary contacted the bar they did not want to increase the numbers

This quite surprised me, I would have thought that they would welcome more customers

But apparently not

We will have to stick to restaurants that cater for larger groups in future

Of course that will only be a problem if numbers remain the same, or increase.
