Table for 40 – our dinner at Enzo’s!

I arrived at the restaurant just before 7.15 and was pleased to find a good handful of choir members had already arrived, and sat down near some people I didn’t know. I think I knew them pretty well by the end of the evening!

Ed had given his apologies, he had another engagement, and probably a good thing too as it would ruin his diet that he has been so carefully adhering to. Jan pointed out how much cheese we were eating!

After getting some drinks, and everyone seemed to have arrived, Michael handed out a quiz, 25 real names of singers. This was great fun, getting people arguing and trying to tap Michael for clues. The naughty corner pooled their efforts, and Michaels Mum won the chocolate egg (suspiciously), and then gave it to Michael! But we gave him a round of applause for organising such a lovely evening and at fairly short notice too.

The food was delicious, with lots of choice from a ‘specials’ menu and we munched our way through three courses in between asking each other the answers to the quiz. May was given the biggest tiramisu I have ever seen; I wish we could have photographed it! We told May to leave at once; she had obviously ‘pulled’ one of the nice Italian waiters!

We didn’t sing much, just a few short rounds of dum-dum-diddley, and some songs from Carol and May, and it was nice to but more names to faces that we see every week at choir. I do hope we can all meet up again, perhaps one day even what the video of our first concert, and see how much we have grown. Thanks also to Enzo’s for being flexible and giving us a great dinner.

Have a happy Easter everyone, from Cat, the Blogger xxx
