I'm still thinking.
Wagamama in Brum would be cool. They are relaxed about kids and the sitting is face to face which makes chit-chatting easier. Might have to pre-book though.
China Court is also great. Big tables. Family friendly but settling the bill might be a bit of a hassle because you order for the table rather than individually but I'm sure that can be arranged.
I'm a bit scared of meeting up with some of yous now.

. Will it kill the 'magic' / 'mystery' of not really knowing each other on the board OR will it enhance the friendship ? Poll anyone ?
