[tei-council] Oxford Face to Face: 30 June - 3 July: Lunch question

[Martin Holmes]

I liked it the way we did it last time. Once you venture outside to a 
restaurant, two hours get eaten up with the inevitable bumbling through 
the streets in a large group, losing people, and waiting to be served. 
The meeting-room lunch is optimal for getting as much work done as 
possible, and the meal downstairs made a nice change and was quite tasty.

I have no dietary restrictions (except natto and durian).

Cheers,
Martin
