My thanks to those members who were able to join us for our Festive Dinner at the Tower Hotel – we had a full house with 80 of us sitting down to a delicious buffet in the Gallery Restaurant overlooking the centre basin of St Katharine Docks which is really sparkling this year thanks to all the new Christmas decorations. It was a very jolly evening and our apologies go to those who were unable to secure a place this year, please do make your booking early next year - we have reserved the Gallery Restaurant for Tuesday 1st December 2015 so please note the date in your forward planners now! There are some other dates for your diaries relating to festive activities shown below, together with information about forthcoming social evenings at the Dickens Inn. Very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from your Committee and we look forward to your continued support in 2015! Sue Hughes, Chairman, FOSKD |
