Catering Announcement.

We are pleased to announce that our new catering arrangement will begin from this Monday 19th January, initially with the service of all sports team meals and fixed functions. The provision of 'a la carte' bar meals is currently suspended, during the traditionally slack period following the new year. This will resume shortly. Details will be posted via the club noticeboards and website.

We are aware that the weeks pending this announcement have been the source of some uncertainty, but have felt that it would be inappropriate to make an announcement before the selection process was completed and an agreement was reached. Our new caterers now wish to promote their services in partnership with the club, and we will publish further details as the new arrangements are put into place.

Within the change of catering franchise, the club has conducted a thorough review of our catering needs and options. We believe that our new caterers will bring to the club an excellent range of benefits and services. We will welcome the feedback of members as they settle into their new role. We ask that you give them your full support.

Karen and Nessa will cater for us for the final time this Saturday 17th January. We would like to thank Karen and Nessa, not only for 7 years of excellent cuisine, but also for the support that they have given through the period of their notice and indeed beyond. They leave with our best wishes for the future.
