DINNERS
Most of our social activities seem to involve eating!
after-lecture dinners
There is usually a dinner after every lecture for the speaker.
The venue varies; we aim to have a 3-course menu for a fixed price. The details of the venue, the menu and the cost are advertised a few days before the lecture.
Dinner venues - be the first to be informed.
The after-lecture dinners are increasing in popularity, but because many of the restaurants have limited capacity, we have had to close some bookings early.
If you want to have an early warning about when the menu is available and booking is open, subscribe to our
news service. It's free - just follow the
step-by-step guide for your system.
Everyone is welcome but, because the restaurant needs to know numbers by at least
the day before, you MUST book in advance - normally no later than the Sunday before the lecture.
We are always looking for new venues. Do you know any restaurants that might be suitable, and cater for around 20 people? If so, please tell the dinners organiser.
The next after-lecture dinner is at Sloans on 14th May:
Sorry - booking has closed.
special dinners
We hold a dinner in December and a lunch in May to mark the end of the season.
Photos of these and other events may be found in the PHOTO GALLERY section of the website.
ARTS QUIZ
We have held four quiz evenings - two in 2010, one in 2011 and one in 2012. They were all arts-based with a multi-media presentation.
The aim was to have something for everyone and to be fun - they were billed as "light-'arted" (yes - it is a dreadful pun).
The questions included items from films, musicals, television, plays, books, poems, opera, dance (ballet & others), music (all genres, including classical & pop), paintings, drawings, sculpture, architecture.
Reports, with a summary of the scores, are available for
February 2010,
November 2010,
November 2011 and
November 2012.
