===================
We are heading back to The Virgin Hotel for lunch.
The event is being sponsored by Ian MacLeod and Company. The full menu and wine list is on the reverse of this circular. Dietary issues must be addressed immediately, please, by letting Richard Barbour know of any restrictions. But please remember this is a “Table d’Hôte” menu. Not “A La Carte”.
Philip Kingscott, MacLeod’s Edinburgh Gin Brand Ambassador, will talk to us about the aperitif and digestif.
Chef at The Virgin Hotel has prepared a menu reflecting the wines offered.
You booked early to avoid missing out on a splendid lunch, so this circular is just going to you. It is not going to the membership who do not have places.
As always, there will be a raffle on the day and prizes (brought on the day) would be appreciated.
This lunch must be paid for in advance. Forward your payment to Richard Barbour asap to guarantee your place.
Payment will be acknowledged. If you do not receive a confirmation within 2-3 days, please advise. Cancellations after the closing date of 11th October will be charged for, in full.
Again, as always, dress code for gents is jacket and (members with Club) tie.
Please note the address in the heading. This is the direct entrance to the venue. Please don’t use The Virgin Hotel entrance on India Street.
