Thank you Ailsa. What a blow to Cafe Mio. I know some people preferred
the cafe, but guess that's what competition is all about in the city.
Anyway, I am happy to do the job with Janette. Look forward to the first
meeting. Regards Christine

Hi everyone,
You might remember that I planned to stand down as the WDG lunch organizer
this year. No one came forward to take over the job, but Christine and
Janette have offered their assistance. Thank you both very much.
I just received an email from Renee at Cafe Mio who wrote, ‘With a heavy
heart I am writing to let you know that we are unable to open for the
foreseeable future.‘
If I understand her explanation correctly, her landlord has allowed the
fitness centre next door to have exclusive use of the toilets it had
previously shared with Cafe Mio. Cafe Mio cannot legally trade under the
license it applied for without access to toilets for its clients.
I know several of our members have been looking forward to the reopening
of Cafe Mio for our WDG monthly lunches. So this will be disappointing news.
The next best option still is the Captain Cook Hotel, which we frequented
after Mio ‘temporarily’ closed for refurbishment early last year. The
Captain Cook is reasonably priced and within easy walking distance of SAG.
While it mainly serves pub-style food, there are some healthy choices on
its menu too.
Therefore, unless anyone has another suggestion, we will be booking the
Captain Cook for our monthly lunches again this year.
Kind regards,
Ailsa
