City Diners – 26 July 2019, The George at Southwark

Once again I have awaited the fairer weather to appear before setting the date for this year’s Old Askean City Diners Summer  Ladies’ Lunch.   We will be revisiting The George Inn at the Borough on Friday 26th July, sitting down at 1:00pm.

Please invite your partners and any other guests who may wish to dine in historic surroundings in a convivial atmosphere.  As always, we especially welcome Old Askeans who may not have previously attended (even if not members of the Association). At our last function, we had 3 members who attended for the first time.  The cost of the 3 course meal remains at the astonishingly value-for-money price of £37.00 including wine.  I will circulate the menu next month and, those of a more delicate nature, may wish to opt for a 2 course meal.

So, ensure you put this date in your diary and please let me have your intention to attend with numbers and names of guests
