On 19 February 2009 about 30 of us went to The Village Inn at Ulwell, where we had an Italian meal. Thanks to organisers Margaret Tyrer and Jean Fernley we'd all made our menu choices beforehand, so it was straight into chatting, eating and drinking.

The nice thing about these events is that you often get a chance to socialise a bit more than at the talks etc, and from the volume of the noise there was certainly a lot of socialising going on. The food was really good as well, and I suspect that people who hadn't been there before will making a return visit.

A few pictures from Anne and me. As usual, apologies to those we've caught mid-mouthful, or mid-sentence. I don't like to force people into artificial poses - the purpose of the evening is to have fun.
