[tei-council] November Face to Face: evening meals.

[James Cummings]

Dear TEI Council

Those on the 2013 Council are, I hope, looking forward to the 
face-to-face meeting in Oxford. (New members are welcome to 
attend by skype/google hangout/etc. if they wish.)

As part of organising this I've been attempting to narrow down 
the choices for evening meal locations and have put some into the 
Council Agenda.  See further down for the link to a doodle poll 
to narrow down the eating choices.

You'll also note that I've put in a skeleton schedule that 
alternates between general discussion sessions where you should 
put topics (I've not moved any of the ones from the bottom of the 
page yet) and SourceForge Tickets sessions.

On the Sunday 10 November I thought that we should have an 
informal evening arrangements since you may all be getting in at 
different times. For that evening I've decided I'm going to go to 
The Royal Oak pub http://www.theroyaloakoxford.co.uk/ 42-44 
Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6HT which is a very short walk from 
Rewley House (where most people are staying).  I'll be there from 
6pm'ish and will plan to order food at some point. (They serve 
food until 10pm).  It isn't my favourite pub in Oxford, but it is 
close and the food isn't terrible. Feel free to turn up, or not 
turn up, entirely informally.

On the evening of Monday 11th I've made the suggestions of:

-- "Bamboo", Korean restaurant, photos of menu at 
https://plus.google.com/photos/105468124820294977561/albums/5940634552368529473 
Has some veggie dishes, but not loads.
-- "Sojo", Szechuan/Shanghainese/Cantonese restaurant, website at 
http://www.sojooxford.co.uk/ claims vegetarian menu on request.
-- "Bangkok House", Thai restaurant, selection of vegetarian 
dishes, http://www.bangkokhouse.co.uk/

On the Tuesday evening, we'll be going to Sebastian's lovely 
house in Summertown around 8pm. He'll provide directions and 
description of that evening's menu close to the date.  I'll walk 
people from somewhere convenient to wait, like The Royal Oak, up 
to his house which will take about 30 minutes. (I can also 
provide bus instructions).

While some people may be leaving on the Wednesday, I think many 
of you are staying over so that evening I've made the suggestions 
of:

-- "Chutney's Indian Brasserie", Mostly Bangladeshi Food, Fair 
amount of vegetarian food, http://www.chutneysoxford.co.uk/
-- "Al-Andalus Tapas Bar", Tapas, selection of vegetarian, 
http://www.tapasoxford.co.uk/
-- "Pierre Victoire", French, limited vegetarian choices, 
http://www.pierrevictoire.co.uk/
-- "Branca", Overpriced Italian, limited vegetarian choices, 
http://www.branca.co.uk/
-- Some British Pub, undecided

If those attending the meeting would please fill out this quick 
poll of which of the above they might prefer then I'll try to 
take their dietary preferences into consideration when booking.
