Please find attached a PowerPoint presentation on Fine Dining - Be the leader and not the lead at the table. This is another in my series of presentations on Etiquette.
I have just added this line today - a number of you have requested me to send my presentations on Etiquette to your personal email addresses. Please visit my page; you will find them all there. (Edited today, 10 Feb 10).

Col. Jude Mayne, this is one of the most informative and detailed reading materials I have seen on Dining Etiquette. I really like the intricacies and finer nuances that you have covered in your presentation. Congratulations for such a commendable effort!

Dear Colonel J H Mayne,
Thank you for sharing this informative and exhaustive guide on dining etiquette. You have practically covered all that needs to be addressed regarding dining etiquette and table manners. I have personally benefited from many details provided. Congratulations on the effort you have put into creating this.
I have two queries for which I request your opinion:
1. On Slide #3 'How to use Napkins,' paragraph 3, it mentions that if I am excusing myself from the table, the napkin is to be placed on the side of the plate. However, my understanding is that 'napkin on the table means the end of the meal.' If I excuse myself, I am supposed to keep the napkin on the armrest of the chair. Could you please clarify if my understanding is incorrect or if the napkin placement suggested in your PPT is specific to certain settings?
2. On Slide #10, paragraph 2, it states 'If the host stands up during a toast, we need to stand up.' Once again, my understanding is that one does not need to stand up while someone is raising a toast. Could you please provide clarification on this as well?
Thanks,

Dear Mr. Sanganeria,
Your first query: There are two schools of thought on this etiquette - one, you place it on the left side of your plate (I am with this and we followed the same during our "Dinner Nights" in the Army), and the second school is that you leave it on the chair to show that the place is occupied. Since it's a Sit-Down Dinner - so the issue of it depicting the end of your meal is not in doubt as you will end your meal along with the Host or the rest.
Second Query: Men will always stand up when Toasting - women will remain seated. In the Army, whenever we Toast The President, we toast with water.
Thank you for your comments - I am fascinated with proper etiquettes because you do not step onto others' toes - decorum is maintained, and no one's health is in jeopardy!! I am a trainer at heart. Please do visit my page for the rest of the PPTs.

Good presentation. One clarification: when someone has to leave the table in between, they should place the napkin folded on the chair and not on the table, and put the forks and spoon in the plate. Please clarify.
Could you send me the entire presentation on etiquette and manners as I have missed it? If you have a detailed presentation on how to manage office staff, role play, and the roles of each member, I would appreciate it. I will also share some presentations with you.
My email is permeshwernath@gmail.com. Thank you.
