It has been just as confusing for us as for anyone else. The problem has arisen because we are dealing with two different sections of the hotel and we were getting mixed messages. We are being housed in one of the conference rooms and they are used to fixed tailor made menus with the price determined by the client. However we are being offered menus at the standard price. The problem with mix and match is that a combination taken from the three different menus could mean that some one chooses three items that in total come to more than the standard price and that would mean booking in advance and a possible increase in the cost. For this reason the hotel had suggested choosing one of the three standard menus. For clarification: Cranachan in menu 1 is toasted oatmeal soaked in whisky and raspberries in whipped cream and honey laced with whisky. Skirlie in menu 2 is toasted oatmeal mixed in mashed potato. Haggis bonbon is similar in appearance to a scotch egg, but with a filling of Haggis instead of egg. John Sadler and I thought that menu 3 was probably the best to opt for as it is the most neutral of the three, but we will listen to any opinions before booking. www.gwicks.net/qlis30dinner.htm Just a note about the bar arrangements. The room is situated on a different floor from the bars and restaurants. Our numbers are too small to justify a bar in the room, but there will be a waiter service. I hope this clarifies matters, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Hi Geoff, I have got no problems with the menu, except I do not like whiskey these days... I was looking at the proposed activities, do you have a programme of events yet? Will I be able to update/buy software of hardware.
