In reply to a question from TerriM the hostel opens at 5:00pm on Friday evening and what generally happens is that people turn up as and when during the evening, cook a meal,chat and we start when we feel enough people have turned up, usually between 8::00 and 9:00.It has been known for a session to go on until someone notices the sun rising the following morning! How might people feel if I cooked 2 big pots of curry for everyone that night(one veg. and one meat)? Just an idea! Cheers Bob
