Hi Everyone,
This one has gathered momentum, which is great to see and we now have 12 members signed up for this event
For clarity, I have pasted a screengrab of the Breakfast orders below , which we are doing to asist the kitchen staff at Hilliers, as Sundays tend to be very busy.
Mal’s Tip of the day; click on the image once, with your left mouse button, to enlarge to full size and check your order for correctness 
I have also recieved some PayPal Payments, which have been included in the spreadsheet for tracking purposes. If you have not paid for your food yet, please pay via PayPal a.s.a.p. as this will also help the venue on the day

Team Solent
