Know of any events that we have missed?
Dorris in the phone room occasionally misses an event or two (I think she is distracted by her crush on our local fax technician). Do you have anything to add? Drop us a line to let us know what’s on for foodies near you, or simply leave details of the events in the comments.
Enjoy your weekend party people. I’ll see you Aerobics Oz-style on Monday.
