The link will take you straight to the registration page, and enters the code automatically.
The registration page also offers members the option of a ticket to the
Forum Barbecue, an alternative event to coincide with the sold out Pizza
Express Supper.The Forum is a popular venue just the other side of
Devonshire Street, literally a few metres away from the PE. Meaning if
you are planing to meet up for drinks with friends after dinner, it
couldn’t be more convenient. It’s a barbecue, and weather permitting
it’ll be on the terrace overlooking Devonshire Green, at exactly the
same time as Pizza Express.
Just as with the Pizza Express, tickets for the Forum Barbecue are
limited and available on a first come – first served basis. The price is
exactly the same: £16.65 + VAT.
