PUB LUNCH AT THE HALF MOON RESTAURANT, SHEET - Sunday 23 March 2003

The Half Moon at Sheet, on the 'old A3' near Petersfield, offered a full three-course menu including the traditional Sunday roasts of lamb, beef or chicken with all the trimmings, plus crispy duck.

Twenty-five cars transported sixty members and guests, who sat down to a first-class meal, complemented with beers and wine. Our host, Jacque, and his staff did their utmost to make everyone, including their regular clients, welcome. It was a glorious day - someone said 'It's really a picnic day!'

One highlight was raising a glass to Mae Underwood to wish her a happy 85th birthday - The Half Moon resounding to the members singing 'Happy Birthday Mae'. All in all a most enjoyable, relaxing lunch for everyone.
