Our now-traditional 12th Night Christmas meal is on Saturday 9th January 2027 at the Dog & Bear, Lenham – a fun evening whatever the actual date, with a raffle (please bring something for the prizes!).
The club is subsidising the meal again this year, so it will be just £33 per person for three courses.
Tickets close on 20th December so the pub can make sure the food is ready – and places are limited, so please book early.
