This is one event that this Society has by tradition held on the same day each and every year, i.e. the 8th August. Similarly by tradition, the Vice President of the Society will organize and host this special formal event annually.

There is absolutely no reason for us to depart from tradition this year, and our dear Graham has put together this wonderful event comprising of absolutely appetizing dishes that will be presented by the renowned chef from Zambuca Italian Restaurant & Bar, the same of which will be paired with equally beautiful Bordeaux wines from the vintage year of 1997, all made available from our own cellars, which should be drinking very well currently.

Therefore, waste no time and quickly reserve your seats on this wonderful event that the Society is presenting to you. Please email me to place your reservations and thereafter, send in your payment together with the Booking Form duly filled in. Payment MUST be received by us no later than 31st July 2008 to secure your reservations.
