Lunch Group News

The Lunch Group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 12 noon (unless otherwise stated) at a different restaurant each month. The menus vary in price and content but hopefully average out over the year at a reasonable cost. It is an opportunity for members to meet together socially and try out different restaurants which, as individuals, they may not have had the chance to try before. We always have a quiz which is usually related to the venue or its theme. We hope you will find something of interest to your “taste” and look forward to meeting up with you each month.
We are always grateful when members can offer lifts to non-drivers but could members contact the drivers directly please where possible, as it is getting to be a big job phoning round! Of course, I should be happy to find lifts for new Lunch Group members and I would also be grateful if drivers could indicate to me that they are willing to offer lifts. And please offer a contribution towards the cost of petrol. When putting your name down, if the menu is available, could you please indicate your menu choices at that time.
On December 22nd we went to the Albert Hall, Nottingham for our Christmas Lunch which as usual was superb and the staff were excellent. Our quiz was a “guess the Christmas song” which was won by the team made up of Pat Rose, Christine Chadwick, Kay Burton and Sue Tongue. The Christmas Sweepstake was won by Sue Foss, with runners up prizes going to Sylvia Turner and John Berrill. Twelve of us then followed it up with a visit to the Nottingham Playhouse for a performance of Aladdin. Oh yes we did! Many thanks to the Lunch Group members for their very kind gift and cards and I look forward to many more good company in 2017.
Our first lunch in the New Year will be on 25th January at the Griffin’s Head, Papplewick. A £5 deposit is needed for this lunch. The menu is on the website. On February 22nd we are hopefully returning to Mr. Man’s Chinese Restaurant at Wollaton Park but this is yet to be confirmed.
