Blythe Sappers Autumn Luncheon & Annual General Meeting

Tuesday 28th September 2010

      

Dear Fellow Sapper,

                        Our Autumn luncheon in 2010 will be held at the Army & Navy Club, London SW1 on Tue 28th Sep 10 at 1230 for 1pm under the Chairmanship of Sapper John Moore-Bick CBE DL. It will be followed by the Blythe Sappers 2010 AGM.

 

            PRINCIPAL GUEST: Very Rev Nicholas Frayling, Dean of Chichester                                      “Reconciliation in Northern Ireland”

CHARGE PER HEAD: £49.95 for Sappers and each Guest.   This includes two glasses of table wine and a glass of port. It does not include drinks before luncheon, which must be paid for by Sappers, further wine maybe purchased from the wine bar.   The management of the Army & Navy Club is again making the Ian Jacob Bar, located adjacent to the Pall Mall Room on the first floor, available exclusively for Blythe Sappers to obtain drinks (including draft beer) from 12 noon until luncheon is announced.   Please therefore will you meet at the Ian Jacob Bar and NOT in the Members’ Bar on the ground floor.   However the Members’ Bar on the Ground Floor will be open after lunch, Sappers are welcome to continue the fostering of the Esprit de Corps of the Royal Engineers over a drink there.

 

            Sappers should indicate on the enclosed pro-forma whether they are able to attend this luncheon and whether they intend bringing along a guest or guests.   Unless there is a waiting list, it is regretted that it will not be possible to make refunds for cancellations after the Army & Navy Club has been notified of the number attending.

 

            The Management Committee has agreed that Sappers entertaining EMINENT guests may request on the pro-forma to be seated on the top table.   Sappers may also request on the same pro-forma to be seated next to other nominated Sappers, and in addition, those Sappers who are hard of hearing should indicate their wish to be positioned close to the Speaker.   The Secretary will endeavour to fulfil such requests but cannot guarantee to be able to do this in all cases.  As is the custom, the Management Committee hope that Sappers will be wearing an appropriate RE tie.

 

Would Sappers please return their completed pro-forma To the Hon Sec by no later than Wed 8th Sep 10.  Please also note the dates below. Further details are on the Blythe Sappers website.
