One of our customers Paul owns a very nice pub The Dolphin Inn in Grampound just down the A390 from us, he has agreed to host a SW Christmas bash if anyone is interested, and he will even put on live music for us.
Date is Saturday 8th of December.
Cheap accommodation can be arranged locally; I will post details when Paul gets back to me.
Anyone seriously interested put your name down.

I may well be able to make this. Can you let me have details of the local hotel?
For accommodation please phone Mike or Denise on 01726 882066.
I had provisionally asked for 4 doubles but they only have 3 en suite doubles and a non en suite twin, so they will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
If they are already full when you book ask for other local recommendations or phone Paul at the Dolphin Inn on 01726 882435
Just got the menu from Paul if everyone could make your choice so he can ensure he has enough ingredients, or you can order from the normal menu if you wish.
