Dear Member,
The Chairman's Luncheon XXIII
Friday 25th January 2019 from 12 Noon
‘The England Suite’, The Oval, Kennington, London SE11 5SS*
I write to invite you to join me once again in January for our annual lunch. I look forward to
welcoming you at an event which is always first class. Your committee has worked hard this
year to elevate the standard of the fare on offer; we hope it meets your approval. The
continuing success of our lunch, as always, is a tribute to you and your contemporaries.
Please help by contacting your class mates and those old boys you may see and organise a
table. Please also consider inviting any of your friends who might be delighted to come along as your guest and who perhaps otherwise would not attend. Also note the important details below the menu.
This year our esteemed guests will be welcomed by Colin Garvey. I will deliver a short
address and the general blethering will be briefer than in recent years.
Lunch will be served at 1:15 p.m. and you will be served the meat course unless you have
indicated, on the enclosed form, that you require the vegetarian option.
This cost of the event is £55.00. Please pay on-line (*see below) or make cheques payable
to ‘COXA’ and return the completed form to Mick Power, 9 Cheviot Close, Sutton, Surrey
SM2 5SB. Please respond by 15th December and bookings will close by 16th
January 2019. No tickets will be issued for this event. A list of attendees will be
regularly updated on the Association’s website.
Last year sponsorship to cover the cost of real ale was a great success and if you are able to
sponsor a barrel please indicate on the attached form. I will be among the sponsors. This
initiative helps the Association to offset that which would otherwise be a loss-making event.
Any enquiries concerning the function should be made to Eddie O’Brien (eob58@outlook.com) (new email address) - mobile 07891 713693). The COXA website will be updated to show members attending. If you are unsure of your membership status please contact Scotty Macdonald, membership secretary, (donmiamac1234@sky.com)
Wishing you a Happy Christmas. See you at the Oval in January.
David Leathem
