This list might help us get started on networking location: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/best-private-dining-rooms-manchester-11078780 - Jamie's Italian has a vegan/veggie menu so might be an easy option

My personal favourite is the Refuge which is halfway between campus and city centre, we could look into costs (hopefully lack thereof) and availability of their den?

Update: they got back to me and the minimum spend for the den is £1500 🙈

I agree with @rosiehigman that Jaimie's Italian may be a good option.

Catering has been ordered, Jamie's Italian has been reserved.

Awesome! And I've had a zoom through all the travel and hotel requests and they should all be complete now 🚂 💨 💨 💨 🏨

@rainsworth do you want a task to chase the catering people in here or are you happy to close this one and pick the other stuff up else where. Are there any leftover tasks from last week that I'm missing?

[rainsworth]

Oh gosh, I'll add it because I keep getting distracted. I'll email now, tick it off and close it. Thanks for the reminder!

[rainsworth]

ok, email sent and closing this issue.
