London Luncheon Club Xmas Lunch - 17 Dec 2010

49 Members attended the Third Annual Xmas Lunch of the London Luncheon Club. Many braved the elements to attend at the Union Jack Club Waterloo. The event goes from strength to strength judging by the comments I have received from those who attended. I would ask Members in future to confirm any non-attendance to me after receiving an Attendance List on which their name may appear. I appreciate that I canvass attendance well in advance of the date of the event but assume you will attend if you have told me it is your intention to do so!! Hope that does not sound too complicated!! I personally foot the bill for no shows!
