Last year we had over 60 people at our annual lunch at the Thistle Hotel on the Quay, and this year we hope to be able to welcome even more of our members and guests to the event, again at the Thistle. Although not Christmas we thought this year that we would include a bit of early Christmas cheer to the meal and include turkey and Christmas pudding, however naturally there is an alternative and if you have special dietary needs please let us know. The cost of everything is £22 per person.
As last year we will need to gain everyone’s order and money before the event as such I would be especially grateful if orders and the money is confirmed by the end of October. This can be confirmed by email to [email protected] and or on one of the talk evenings or a cheque to the “Society for Poole” popped in the post
