A Tasty Time With a Fishy Result!

1. Firstly, we need some tasters!  If you are able to arrive at the hall ready to depart from there by 8pm this Tuesday, happily becoming a “crew member” for cruising some local-ish chippies, please let me know.  We have a few volunteer drivers to transport these important tasters to the necessary fish and chip shops.  At each, one portion of chips will be purchased and all COPSErs who are there will taste a chip or two and award points out of ten.  This Club crew will then proceed to the next chippy and repeat the process.  These tasters will be important people!  The results of their voting will dictate to which chippy we return to buy fish and chips for all to eat back at the hall.

2. The purchasing of fish and chips for all will depend on the pre-ordering.  If you are not one of the “chip shop crawlers”, you will still need to let me know in advance, if you wish to enjoy a fish and chip supper together with your fellow Members.  We envisage being back at the hall with the hot take-aways by about 9pm.  Andy, plus some probable helpers, will be kindly setting up the “COPSE Café” while the tasters are on the road.  It is a good number of years since we last undertook this “crawl” but now, as then, the evening will overall be a chance to socialize a little at the hall and also with car-sharing passengers.

3. N.B. All partakers will need to bring along some cash to pay for the nosh!  As we don’t know which shop will win our order, I can’t yet state the price but between £10 – £15 would be expected to cover a full portion of F & C.  If you wish to share a portion and can arrange this with a fellow diner, please let me know.  (I might be able to assist with this, if you send me such a request.)  Re cash, it will be most useful if you can have available a selection of coins as well as notes!

4. As per our system in recent times, we ask all diners to please bring their own plates and eating irons– and a bag to take said items home again to wash up.  We are not expecting any kitchen fairies to do this in the hall!

5. I repeat that I need to know numbers before 7.45pm Tuesday night for both “mobile tasters” and for diners.  Also, in case we have an abundance of tasters signing up, please let me know if you would be prepared to be an extra driver, if required, even though I have not already asked you.

I hope all the above is understandable!  Of course, please do contact me, if you have a query.
