Luncheons are an excellent social occasion where members to get to know new members and vice versa, to catch up with members and their wives, and for the ladies to get to know each other – all in a friendly and social setting.
The luncheons are:
- The President’s Lunch: Held shortly after the AGM. The newly elected President gets to introduce himself and his committee to the members and ladies present.
- The Ladies Lunch: Held mid year. This is an opportunity to thank our ladies for the support given to our members throughout the year.
- Christmas Lunch: Held towards the end of the year. We celebrate another successful year.
Luncheons include; a guest speaker or entertainment at Christmas and a catered two course lunch with plenty of time for socialising.
