Summary
It only seems like yesterday since we started on our journey (mind you, that's probably due to all the alcohol we consumed along the way). In fact, it's been 8 1/2 years, 48 different restaurants, 752 member appearances, and we have spent something in the region of £19,000. The membership of the Club has grown from 4 to 13 with another 4 coming and going along the way.
Two restaurants, both very popular at one time, stand out from this period:

Our 100th Outing
To celebrate reaching our century, we decided to go 'up West'. We met in the Glasshouse Stores, Brewer St, Soho (a good find) and ate at Veeraswamy, Regents Street (a bit disappointing). It was, however, an enjoyable and memorable evening and our milestone was duly celebrated. Click to read our report for Veeraswamy.
Here's to the next 100!
