We really should make a couple of decisions about meeting places... at least one for Saturday evening after, say, 8pm and into the night and one for noonish on Sunday.
Colman suggested it would be good to have the Sunday near Jerome's flat and Colman's and Sam's hotel, on account of little Christopher, so that seems to be taken care of pending confirmation by, I suppose, Jerome...
About Saturday night, someone (maybe redstar, since he's suitably stalinist :-) should simply make a decision. Paul, how late can you get back to St. Cloud on Saturday night, and from where?

After, I think we can walk or, if having too much boukha drunk, take the metro, to Kitty O'shea's, which is on the rue des capucins if i remember correctly, south of the opera station. the bartenders didn't used to speak french there, so this might make some feel at home (or not). alternately we could finish up at the moosehead (odeon), where i may just sleep over if the canadien are playing on satellite at 4am.
cheers. i'll be in an out of email et c. for the next week or so, but hit me with suggestions and i'll respond as soon as i get them, mig knows the email... The Hun is always either at your throat or at your feet. Winston Churchill
Re: children, there will be yours and mine, and Jerome and Geezer also have children who tend to be taken care off and out of the meetup planning, but we might want to organise some family-friendly outing... Paul suggested a picnic (depending on the weather) and I think that's a good idea.

You need contingency plans in case the weather is nasty.
But the restaurant probably requires a reservation for a Sunday morning, so we should get a head count and make a reservation... We could go to the park afterwards if the weather allows.

It's definitely not the Rallye.
I'll go and check out tomorrow and report back. The Hun is always either at your throat or at your feet. Winston Churchill
Redstar's recommendation as to location is OK with me. paul spencer
