 	The Sesh Book is intended to be taken to every sesh at the Gasthof, so the Bier Book can
 	remain in the Potato Hut. 
 	For each sesh, the table recording attendees, amount owed and amount paid is the primary reference for the treasurer and should be completed accurately. The totals give a quick check that everything has been accounted for.
