MACH Christmas
181 Piccadilly, St. James's, London W1A 1ER
London
Summary
We're dreaming of a MACH Christmas
MACH has made the leap from “What’s that?” to “We’re planning to go with a MACH-based…”
To celebrate a new normal Christmas AND the journey to MACH continuing into 2022, we put on a fully festive dinner for our friends with all the trimmings (except far better food than Christmas day).
We talked a little bit about what might happen next year, we heard from a speaker who felt the pressure of having to deliver a MACH architecture into 2022, but we also joined together to celebrate the fact that 2021 is now over… and that we can now pop into London a couple of days each week, and that we’ve recovered some of that lockdown lard.
- Will the Turkey arrive through the 3PL In time for Christmas?
- Who even eats red cabbage?
- How many sprouts constitute a serving?
- Is there such a thing as too many breaded prawn starters?
