Christmas Buffet Theme Nights (including dancing to DAYBREAK)

Christmas Buffet Theme Nights

(including dancing to DAYBREAK)

Saturday 13 December 2014 and Saturday 20 December 2014

 

It's only September, but the time has come for members to make their bookings for the Christmas Buffet Theme Nights, which, again, include dancing to the very popular DAYBREAK.

 

Like last year, there will be two events - the first on Saturday 13 December 2014 and the second a week later on Saturday 20 December 2014.

 

Ticket prices have been held at £25 and members can book places at the bar, by paying a £10 deposit per ticket. In order to assess the requirement for table sizes for members and their guests, who wish to sit together, it will be helpful if one member acts as the lead person for the group.

 

A copy of Au-Gratin's excellent buffet menu is set out below.

 

Such was the demand for tickets last year that some people were disappointed when the maximum number of places available was reached.  Therefore, please book as soon as possible to ensure that you don't miss out.
