It is that time of year again and arrangements for this year’s dinner are well in hand. Last year we had 121 attending but would like a few more as inevitably the food and catering costs have increased. We want to make a big effort this year to get a good cross section of the club attending and to encourage people who have not attended before. We look for tables of a minimum of 10 but will try and accommodate whatever number of tickets you require. Smaller numbers can also be accommodated by combining with others to make up a larger table as there will be a joint of beef on each table.
The format will largely follow previous years. The ticket price is £45 per person, the same as last year, in spite of inflationary increases to most of the costs. Dress is black tie and posh outfits for the ladies. Your MC for the evening is the extremely patriotic Rob Hicks and our speaker is Ieuan Pritchard; yes the retired vet, former club player/coach and a Welshman. I am sure that is a first in a long line of speakers over the years.
We've chosen Friday 19th April as the evening.
The timing of the event is 7 for 7.30pm. 
Please be prompt to avoid overcooked beef. Each table head will need to appoint a carver who needs to bring a sharp knife.Please let me know the number of tickets you require as soon as possible by contacting me as follows.Mobile 07790 516588Email johnmachin5@gmail.comPlease also let me know of any special dietary requirements of attendees on your table, but hopefully they are all meat eaters!I look forward to hearing from you.John Machin
