I would just like to formally thank Steve, Karen and their team for a seamless and professional service last night and for the incredible efforts they put into the preparation in the weeks before – Karen was an absolute star.  I have had many people comment to me today on how delicious the food was, how efficient and friendly service was and what a delight it was to enjoy such a fantastic meal.  We are very lucky to have great caterers who work extremely hard to deliver the perfect event for us – the best one we’ve had in years!

Grateful thanks to Lorraine and her bar team for their equally seamless and professional service and hard work.  No-one waited long for drinks, empties were cleared efficiently and the atmosphere was a fun and friendly one.

I also think everyone will agree how brilliant everyone looked in their standard smart black uniforms with gold ties and bow ties.  It tied everything together and made for a very professional feel to the evening.

I am delighted to announce that we are holding a wine tasting evening in conjunction with our new suppliers on Saturday 30th May at 7.30pm to select new wines for the Club.

If you would like to attend, please contact Steve at the Galley Kitchen.  Places are priced at a fantastic £8.95 per person or even better £17.00 for two!  This includes an antipasti platter and wine tasting.  Tickets must be booked and paid for in advance, no reservations can be made, and last ticket sales will be taken on Tuesday 26th May.  Please note that no further ticket sales can be taken after this time as both food and wine supplies need to be pre-ordered.  In addition, unfortunately we cannot accommodate anyone on the night who hasn’t pre-booked and numbers are limited so book early!

This should be a very enjoyable night with plenty of lovely wines to sample and raffle prizes courtesy of our new suppliers!

I look forward to seeing you there.
