Hi all, It's that time of year again! The LUMC Christmas meal will be hosted at the Hope and Anchor on Thursday the 2nd of December starting at 6pm.  The meal will cost £13 for two courses and theres a varitety of options so pick whatever combo you want! You need to select the name of your food choices and we need responses by Friday 12pm. This is a link to the menu - (https://www.spccs1.co.uk/menus/CR%20Band%20C%20-%202021.pdf) you are choosing from the 2 course Festive Set Menu and need to pick a main and dessert. Christmas jumpers are mandatory (if you don't have one tinsel can be bought cheaply) and people will likely be going out after if you're more intrested in drinking than food ;) Edit - sorry just noticed the food options tick boxes are slightly wrong, when it says the "Festive Burger" it means the Fat Santa Burger, when it says the "Festive Spicy Bean Burger" it means the Elfishly Good Burger and when it says "Chocolate Salted Caramel Bar" it means the Cherry Brownie Cheesecake. Unfortunatley I can't redo the form as some people have already paid.
