In support for 31st August. My proposals:

1. Venue - Roadhouse Grill upperhill. Central/ accessible venue plus they make the full mbuzi ... choma, fry, mutura, supu, miguu, kichwa etc no short-changing.

2. Cost - Mbuzi mzima at c. 15k accompanyments and softdrinks add c. 10k. Cost per person for 15-20 eaters is c. 1.5k.

3. Logistics - I know the roadhouse owner, will make quick arrangements via phone.

4. Payments - Eaters to pay 1.5k in advance. Sponsorship open for the adult drinks. Treasurer to post amounts received without disclosing the eaters/ sponsors names.

If this is acceptable, I can make arrangements for mbuzi asap and send my 1.5k to Treasurer.

Me thinks a Mbuzi on 31st not ideal.

It's the last weekend before schools open.Parents with boarders may want to spend the afternoon with the kids bonding or shopping.

Then I feel we need to "heal" from the mess of The Big Talker.

I propose October 12th.I also propose we have a deadline for confirmations and contributions as 30th September.

This will give the organizer enough time to plan and tie all the knots and ends.

My final proposal is that Hardwood be invited and be fed for free for him to see how decent Wazuans look like and how they behave.
