EUROPE DAY MEAL 2016 Monday 9 May 2016 7.15pm for 7.30pm

At a recent committee meeting it was agreed to ask ‘The Kings Head and Bell’ to do the Europe Day meal for us this year. The venue is at 10 East St Helen’s Street in Abingdon. We know it seems a long way off, but we do need to know as soon as possible how many members will be able to make that evening so that we can confirm numbers with the pub as soon as possible. Luke has come up with an interesting menu that we hope you will enjoy! The cost of tea/coffee is included but any extra drinks you order will need to be paid on the night. Please fill in the attached form and return it to me (address below) together with your cheque for the full amount, made payable to ADTTS. Closing date is Monday 25 April 2016. The cost for this meal is £19 for two courses or £25 for three courses – this amount includes a tip for the staff. We do hope you can make it and look forward to hearing from you. If you have any queries do not hesitate to call me.
