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!
