11 Dec 2008 - Christmas Lunch (12 noon)

This year, I thought it would be nice to have quite a formal dinner which would allow us to "dress up". Having scouted various venues (and there aren't a lot in this area I would say are sufficiently "posh") I have arranged for us to have a very nice lunch at the Spalding Golf Club, at Surfleet.

The venue is very nice, with a vast bar and dining room overlooking the very picturesque golf course. The dining room will be solely for our use, and therefore we can "let our hair down" without offending others. I have some Christmas Carols we can sing (with the words changed of course), a Quiz, a story or two, and a Raffle of several prizes.

The menu is now fixed and will consist of a choice of four starters, four main courses, desserts, and coffee and mince pies. You will have to pay for your own drinks.

There will be a seating plan and list of what you ordered (if you've forgotten) as you enter the dining room, so please find where you'll be sitting for the meal upon arrival. You can move to sit with "a friend" after the meal, but of course all who come should be "your friend".
