			=== Ponctual meetings ===

			Events are often happening on the CS group for the city.

			=== Regular meetings ===

			There's regular monthly meetings:
			1st friday of the month: Ice cream buffet, district 1, crowded
			more to come?

			=== Meetings templates ===

			Information needed to create an event for monthly meeting:

			Monthly Buffet at Fanny's Ice-Cream Parlour

			Every month the delicious Fanny's Ice Cream Parlour has an all you can eat buffet.

			With flavours from passionfruit to cinnamon, chilli chocolate to mango, there's ice-cream for everyone! Yet they also have a great fruit salad and other sides and toppings such as nuts, cookies, pancakes, chocolate fudge sauce... and free water or juice to wash it all down.

			CS base camp: we'll (hopefully) grab a table inside - as a diverse group, we should be easy to spot!

			The first couple of hours are very busy but then it quietens down. There may be the option of relaxing somewhere else afterwards with a beer or coffee as we digest all that ice-cream!

			---
			The website www.fanny.com.vn says:
			"Have you ever enjoyed an ice cream buffet or even thought about such an idea? Why not you join us for a tasty ice cream buffet on the first Friday of every month, from 6.30pm - 11.00pm. Enjoy as much as you can! With only VND 110.000/ticket."

			Ton That Thiep Street is between Pasteur and Nguyen Hue in District 1. (near Sunwah Tower)
