13.0. "BASFEING(Basingstoke Society for eating in groups)" by RDGE00::WRIGHT (I AM a member of this company) Thu Aug 04 1988 15:41

At the last place I used to work a number of us stated an unoffical gourmets 
society. Basically this involved going to a local restaurant once every week 
or so (usually Thursdays) to try out their cuisine. This evolved into 
going further a field as we quickly ran out of good local restaurants, we 
also ended up drinking vast quantities of alcohol. Is anyone interested in 
doing this sort of thing in the Blazingsmoke area.

13.13Yes please, but not so oftenSTOPIT::SAXBYFri Sep 02 1988 13:4012
    
    I'm interested .
    
    Perhaps, though, the idea of once a week has frightened a few people
    off. Why not try once a month.

    sight.To say nothing of my lavatory the following day (Is this too
    course for a notes conference ?)

    There are three Indian restaurants in Fleet (what a coincidence,
    that's where I live!) that might dare to serve this intrepid society.
    
    Look forward to eating, sorry, meeting with you
