Date/Time …
Saturday 27 April, 1200 - >>>>> 
Location …
- The Bar, St Helier [on the Waterfront by Cineworld, and near the Radisson Bleu].
- The Bar's website is here with their new and amusing Menu etc. [Revised web-link]

- Rather than a single long table, I've asked for groups of smaller tables.
- The kitchen will be in operation for us from 1200-1800: so basically eat when you wish. I'm conscious that everyone's different arrival times and overall schedules makes a single sitting rather impractical.
- PLEASE don't all try to order at the same time, or the kitchen will get swamped!!
- There's a Wedding Reception booked in for 1800, so at that time we will have to drift to the downstairs Bar. The sun will have gone by then anyway, so likely to be a bit chilly outside.
- Yes, they take Amex

- Details are being arranged by a 3rd Party who cannot communicate through FT.
- The same non-person has also arranged, for those staying at the Radisson, a welcome gift and double points … which is why he/I need your booking reference. Please PM me if you haven't done so already.
- Not yet sure whether anyone is planning on just staying at The Bar in the evening, but an FT-er will be running the Disco. Just saying.
Hopefully these photos put things in perspective. Apologies to the JEP, the Parish Magazine and Liberation Group for scanning them - think of it as free advertising.
Upstairs, Outside … until 1800, when we will have to relocate downstairs.
Downstairs, Inside … for those with stamina, until the proceedings move to the Radisson.
General Info …
- Currency is £STG, but we have our own banknotes/coins. UK notes/coins mingle freely with ours, but any JER notes you take back to UK will have to changed at a bank. You can always ask for UK notes when receiving change: most establishments oblige if they have any.
- Shops are almost all closed on Sunday.

As some people seem keen to take advantage of RFS fares, I tentatively offer the thought of a repeat of the 2012 event.
Doing it in May [for better weather prospects] would be nice. However, I'll be hopping into 63B in the middle of the month, so someone else would have to take charge [and I'll miss a "home game"].
Your thoughts, Ladies and Gentlemen? Date? Same location? Whichever.
