I agree that we should have a lighter meal on that day. I'm not sure if
we can reduce the price for the dinner by this though. did we decide
about the C&W date? This should be fixed soon, so we can start
discussing food details like this with Le Camp.

As suggested in my previous mail, I'd prefer to say that we just get an
overall better lunch than to specify specific days for the upgrade. I
think the details are best discussed with Le Camp after the decision is
made.
