Price sounds good.

GBP60 for six, so GBP10 each sounds good.

I hope it's not GBP60 each. I fear it's another example of lack of attention to detail in the 'deal outline' a bit like in too many recipes.

All Chris said was:
"Price wise, I don't know what to suggest. Does ?60 including lunch and coffee sound right?"

Just found a place in Manchester where I have eaten often, that is doing lessons.  They're charging GBP55.00 for 2.5 hrs.  So, GBP60.00 sounds quite reasonable.

Hi

Just to avoid any confusion (at least on my perception of the suggested offer).

I thought the suggestion of money approx sixty pounds was on a per-person basis.

Taking into account Az (who I have had the pleasure to meet before through Chris W G) is going to give up a fair chunk of a productive chef's day, to teach / demonstrate to a bunch of curry-heads and cover that much content - at the same time, most likely bombarding him with questions at a very unreasonable rate - this sounds a more than fair price to me.

I really hope this goes ahead - I cannot wait :)

Cheers

Being in Scotland this would be too far away but I think it's a cracking idea and

Hi Ram,

You going to give it a go, Ray?

I would like to but reading further into it, they do 3 stages.  The Commis Chef course at GBP55 for 2 hrs, then the sous Chef course at GBP55 for 2.5 hrs and finally the Head Chef course at GBP55 for 3 hrs.  A total of GBP165 for 7.5 hrs tuition.  Seems a bit steep to me.

I have eaten here, many times and gave the place a good review here http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4358.0

Maybe I can persuede the loverly Mrs Razor to get me an early birthday present ::)

Ray :)
