Dear All To wrap up the year I have chosen a new location for our next event. The location is the Orangerie Cafe/Restaurant in the Rottermani part of town. The place has a good selection of cakes pastries and bread and I believe there is something for everyone. I have reserved a table from 1500. Would be nice to see you there! It is a bit more formal than other locations so it would be helpful if you join us as close as possible to the start time. Kind regards Nabil
