Please don’t delay – get your orders in to Chris, including your menu choices (see the form later in this post). This will help Chris by avoiding the normal last minute rush.
Also, for those who have been wondering, Yes, partners are very welcome.
Details:
This year the dinner will be on Saturday November 14th at Low Bradfield
Village Hall, 6.30 for 7pm (earlier start to allow a bit more time for
drinking etc.). There will be a bar by Bradfield Brewery. The dinner
will be followed by a ceilidh with the Rhythm Chaps (as per last year)
and, of course, kilts will be optional but preferred.
The cost is £25 per head, (£5 cheaper than last year, deflation for you!).
Dress Code:
The chairman would like to advocate a male dress code for the evening of DJ with suitable garish bow tie/shirt combination or for those who must kilts with appropriately established controls to avoid upsetting those female guests of a delicate constitution. And “posh frocks” for the ladies!
Menu:
The
menu is shown below. I’ve still to finalise a few details regarding the
actual menu but it will be a sit down meal with waiter/waitress
service, followed by the usual speeches from our Chairman and the
awarding of the coveted “Pertex” trophy and then the ceilidh until
midnight at least. There is a bus service that runs from the Village
Hall to Hillsborough around about midnight and there is ample space for
camper vans to park up for the night, although tents might be
problematic!
