SUMMARY:Lunch with the Chairman
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years our Literary Lunches at Hexham Mart have been excellent and so well supported that we decided it was time for more chances to dress up\, meet friends and have a lovely lunch followed by an interesting/amusing talk. In addition to our usual Lunch at The Mart around late September early October we are going to try and have two more Lunch events in different parts of the Federation and here’s the really exciting news\, the first one is all organised. \nThe venue will be Doxford Hall\, on Wednesday 28th May and the speaker will be the delightful Marie Thom and her talk entitled Midlife Dramas in Pyjamas which I know you will love. These new lunches will be called Lunch with the Chairman and the format is virtually the same with this time a two or three course lunch and speaker and still with a raffle. The second lunch is still in the planning stage and will be in a different part of the Federation. The application forms will be in your March mailing giving you plenty of time to buy a new frock! \nCost:  £40 per person.  Closing date:  13th May.
