Club Dinner - again!

Our treasurer has done the sums and the bottom line seems to be a £500 loss on the 2010 Club Dinner. I found the venue to be an excellent one and would be happy to go there again - costs permitting. I have put three polls on the right of the blog --> to get a feel for what others think about the evening and what we do for 2011. The next committee meeting is on Friday (12th) and we will discuss this and almost certainly make a decision to try to go back to the Burford Bridge, or to go somewhere else. Going back to the Burford Bridge, or not, will depend both on the charge for the hall hire for 2011 and what we think members are prepared to pay for the tickets, so I think the final decision on venue for 2011 could well skip to the following meeting in around 6 weeks' time.

As a thought the 1952 dinner cost 12/6, which Pete has checked out as equating to £38 now on a "then and now" price comparison website...

Finally: a vote of thanks to Brian P for all the hard work in both sorting out the dinner and chasing everyone up to come along. From what I have seen, he put in more work for this dinner than has been done by any of our organisers in recent years (and they didn't exactly slouch!).

I know that not everyone can see this blog, but it is an easy way to get a quick idea of what a number of members think.
P.S. Click on the yes/no button and then click "vote" for each poll. If you want to see the result without voting (again), click on the "show results" link.
P.P.S I have no way of knowing who has voted (or what you voted), so please only vote the once - it looks to me as if the poll allows you to keep voting ;~) Thanks. And if you have any comments on the polls, please add a comment to this post.
