December’s 41 Club meeting took the form of a superb Turkish Christmas meal (Turkey strangely absent – Ed).
Club members arrived at the family-run Turkish Columbus Ravine restaurant “Az” which is an excellent fit for the club as given that our numbers allowed us to have it solely to ourselves.
The starter was an appetizing mixed cold Meze of Turkish dishes accompanied by pitta bread. The starter all in all was excellent and almost a meal in itself.
The main course for most was Inick, a traditional Turkish dish being a delicious knuckle of lamb accompanied by vegetables; options were available for non-lamb fans.
The evening was well attended by members and guests included Richard Kirby (former 88 Tabler) and John Price. It was good to see Rick Lumby looking well restored to good health.
Due to the absence of the Chairman (who had a better offer for the evening), the meeting was ably chaired by Vice Chairman David Ascough.
