BISTRO TEIFI

What an enjoyable evening Saturday the 10th at the Boating Club was - the dining area was transformed into a French Bistro complete with French newspapers, check table cloths and cafe music.
The evening kicked off with Kir Royalle Aperitif on arrival and a game of 'French Connections' (TBC rules apply) just to get everyone in the mood.
A traditional starter of either Pate or French Onion Tart was followed by either Coq au Vin or Normandy Pork, nicely rounded off with Crepes or Pots au Chocolat.

The Ladies Section excelled them selves with the food and are to be congratulated.

The men cleared tables and took responsibility for the washing up - enthusiastically led to the sink by Barry 'Where are the Marigolds' Appleby - the Rear Commodore Sailing was rather confused by the system of operation of tea towels for drying up, but eventually got the hang of it and was later heard to enquire whether the R.Y.A. had a suitable certificate to reward his efforts, as they have certificates for everthing else.

A really good evening - enjoyed by all
