The Supper Club

Organisers:  Colin Ellis - supper@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 01530 272592
and Mike Stow - phone 01530 469152

This group aims to visit local pubs and restaurants for an evening meal and and social conversation. We normally meet on the 4th Thursday of the month at 7 pm for 7.30 (This is a fortnight away from the Lunch Group). We will jointly decide on venues.

Everyone is welcome, all we ask is that you sign the sheet by the display board at the monthly meeting prior to the supper, or contact Colin or Mike, by phone or by email, so we can book the relevant number of seats.

If anyone is interested in coming along, but has been discouraged by problems with transport, it may be possible to arrange lifts. Please contact Colin or Mike on the numbers or emails above.

There may sometimes be a limit on numbers depending on the venue's ability to cater for larger numbers, in which case places will be offered strictly on a first come, first served basis. There may also need to be a cut-off date for bookings. This will be stated on the bookings list.

22nd February - Staff of Life in Ticknall

Our first supper club outing of the year took 11 of us to the ever popular Staff of Life. For once we didn’t have to pre-order our food so we could chose what we fancied to eat on the day. Service was well organised with drinks brought to the table and added to each persons named tab along with our food choices, so that payment at the end of the evening was completely painless. If only other venues could be so organised!

The food was all cooked in house and was well received and enjoyed by almost everyone. Portions were generous as well as tasty. With just 11 people across two tables, conversation was easier than it often can be and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Next month we will be at The Globe in Snarestone on March 28th. Usual 7 for 7.30. If you want to join us, email Colin or Mike at the address above.
