ULSCR Dinner 2010 – help needed

Posted by admin on January 14, 2010 | Be the First to Comment

I know the dinner this year is a long way off but like a fine wine they take a while to mature and plan. This year will be our 65th anniversary dinner, which means it is a larger one (like the 60th for those who were around then) catering for around 100 to 120 people (as against 60 to 70 of the last few years).

What I would like to establish is a sort of working party consisting of 2 to 4 people.

What does it involve? Roughly:

1. We need to find a venue, and book it by Lundy (end of February). So initially this will take a few hours of internet/phone research in the next month, then some trips out to see venues that make the short list to decide (A well planned evening or two should suffice).

2. Come summer holiday time, instead of sunning yourself somewhere, meet with the venue to organise a menu and finalise pricing so tickets are ready to go on sale 1st September. Time – two or three evenings/lunchtimes.

3. Autumn term – busy selling tickets etc

4. November – lots of time here – print menu’s, tickets, seating plans etc and sort out any problems the venue throw at you.

If you are interested in organising the 2010 dinner with me – please let me know!

Thanks, Clara
