Metrine Livole: At this pace I think we should reduce the booking number to 30pax n expect more

Lung'afa: No worries. Most may confirm. If the number won't add, we shall HAPPILY move on as a small group.

Evans Muhali: The only problem I forcee is if the number reduces then I am sure the hotel will charge more for a buffet dinner or lunch. I remember mentioning it here before

Fanuel Igunza: why is that when it comes to money issue....watu wanakuwa wagumu? will we move forward kweli?

Lung'afa: It must not be a buffet if we few. You can suggest a preference. And there would be no need to book for a table is always with chairs.
