Minutes.
Attendance: Nooka declared the door was ‘absolute mayhem again’ before announcing a very impressive twenty-seven members in attendance. Then, on cue, Lindsay turned up. Good work all round.
Meal: Some sort of sweet and sour sausage concoction. It was the authentic taste of a Chinese restaurant in Germany. First class. I am just glad Jason has found work since leaving the Central Court.
Sweet and sour sausages; a recipe first pioneered by
‘der rote Kaiser’ Chinese restaurant in Frankfurt in the 1970's.
