The Annual Dinner was held on Wednesday, 25th October at the Royal Air Force Club in Piccadilly. Forty-seven members and guests attended. Pre-dinner drinks were served in the Churchill Bar and the main meal was served in The Sovereigns' Room. There were five tables. We had an excellent meal of cream of leek & potato soup with chive crème fraiche, steak, mushroom and ale pie served with traditional roast potatoes and a selection of seasonal vegetables. Trifle was served for desert. An alternative vegetarian main meal of butternut squash & pumpkin risotto with pear, blue cheese & walnuts was available.
