As previously advised, the Annual Dinner and Awards Presentation will take place on Saturday 2nd March, 7.00 for 7.30. We will again be returning to the Princess Royal at Runfold, although this year there will be a buffet meal. This means that there should be more opportunity to mingle and socialise. It also means that the cost can be kept low, just £12 per head, avoiding a hefty increase that would have applied for a more formal dinner. The menu is:- Mains Meatballs in tomato sauceBeef and mushroom stroganoffChicken tikka masalaMushroom & spinach lasagne (vegetarian option) Sides Chunky chipsSteamed riceWatercress, baby gem and herb salad Puddings Apple crumble (by popular demand!)Profiteroles, chocolate sauceVanilla cheesecake
Please book your places by e-mailing me at johnmatsouthview@btinternet.com, and I will advise how to make payment online. As it is a buffet, a specific pre-order will not be required, but please let me now your first choice of main and pudding so that order quantities for each of the options can take account of popularity. In order to make sure that all members are advised of the dinner, I am also e-mailing all individual groups, so that if you are on the mailing list for more than one group, and have also signed up for alerts re Latest Posts, you will receive duplicate e-mails.
All orders should be placed by Thursday 21st February latest; why not do it today? John
