We have, I believe, been coming for many years to Barnsgate Manor for our Christmas lunch. We have always been looked after with care and with a very professional approach. This year was no exception.
On Friday 6th December no fewer than 85 members, their partners and guests beat the atrocious December weather to enjoy an excellent festive lunch together. Choices ranged from the traditional “turkey with all the trimmings” (the first of many, no doubt!) to the ever-popular lamb shank; all followed, of course, by Christmas pudding or, for those who dared, tiramisu.
Events like our Christmas lunch do not of course just happen. A huge amount of work goes into the organisation of the event, and this year the vast majority of that work fell on the shoulders of one man – Paul Black. Our huge thanks to Paul, and his assistant Nick Bunston, for all the effort, patience and organisation they put into making this such an excellent celebration for the Club. What better introduction could we have to the festive season!
You can find more photographs of the event in the website Gallery.
I wish you all a happy Christmas and a peaceful but prosperous New Year!
Andrew Fermor,
President
