Pending the mailing list's consensus: I'm planning it for a maximum of 20 people, in the quiet room, with the cost at £5 a head. That'd include a large miracle fruit tablet each and plenty of food (including lemons and limes), plus non-alcoholic drinks and a pack of antacid tablets for afterwards. (You'll need them.)
==When and where==
 
Sunday 26th June. In the quiet room.

Tentatively being planned for a trip for a Sunday in June. Add your vote for a date here: [http://www.doodle.com/cfaypw8dwwh5fg8n]
