Christmas Feast
This year we look forward to a hot carvery instead of a cold buffet following a request from a majority of members. Anyone requesting a vegetarian meal must let the Social Secretary know when returning the booking form. As usual the Christmas Feast will be in the Refectory at Dover College. Price includes a sherry reception, wine, soft drinks and entertainment by two of our own members, the renowned pianist Nicholas Harby accompanied by soprano Madeline Mee.
Please note that the numbers will be limited to 100 to ensure your comfort.
