Дорогие МИНИпиплы, предлагаю вам принять участие в праздновании Нового 2011 года! да, да, да - наконец то, мы будем встречать Новый Год, но ведь сам НГ придёт только через неделю! В связи с этой досадной неурядицей, наше празднование будет учебным. Начнётся оно в 19:30 и мы представим, что до конца года осталось всего лишь 4,5 часа, а стол ещё не готов. Нам нужно приготовить закуски, вкусное горячее и что-нибудь к чаю, которым мы будем оттягиваться уже в следующем году. Место проведения тренировки: кулинарная база Встретим и Поприветствуем Новый Год Дата: 24.12.2010 Время: 19:30 Стоимость участия: 1800 руб с человека, напитки или выпивку приносим сами. После тренировки по приготовлению праздничного стола, попробуем организовать упражнения по встрече самого нового года в полночь. Количество мест: 40, поэтому записываемся по одному человеку в строку. Если вы записались но не приедете, вычёркивайтесь и перенумеровывайте список. 1. DimON 2. marika 3. ...
