I need to offer my apologies this time. Mrs P and I are cat-sitting for our daughter in London.

I had intended to suggest the April 5 meet should be at the Faenol Fawr Hotel (Colin's favourite) near to Bodelwyddan Hospital, but "a change of our business approach" (their words) means that due to Covid etc, they open during weekdays only for meeting rooms that are rented out.

So, allow me to suggest another favourite: The Mulberry, Conwy, which we've used before and boasts a spectacular location, welcoming staff and good food. The pub is situated adjacent to Conwy Marina and the postcode is LL32 8GU. Meet at 7.30pm onwards and if the sun is shining as it is just now, there are some great views from the extensive outdoor tables. Be sure to check inside first, though, just in case. I hope you have a pleasant evening.
