The Chairmans Lunch 2022

Dear Member,

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 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.

***Please, (please) understand that this year will not be like other years. Do not treat 15th January (below) as a target; it is a limit. Your Committee will be working harder and longer than is usual to put this lunch together. You have one job, and you’ve done it 20 times before – send your confirmation and your money. I make no excuse for my hectoring tone; I’ll be more cheerful on the 28th January. Promise!***

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. Our guest speaker Gerry Morrison, a notable face from behind the camera in the televisual and sporting world, will address you, and later the winner of the 400 Club January prize of £1,000 will be drawn. (as is now traditional).

Lunch will be served at 1:15 p.m. and the luncheon menu will be as below. If you have any dietary requirements please let Eddie O’Brien know.

The cost of the event is £55.00. Please pay on-line (see website) 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 January. 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 secretary@claphamoldxaverians.co.uk - mobile 07891 713693. If you are unsure of your membership status please contact Scotty Macdonald, membership secretary, members@claphamoldxaverians.co.uk

Wishing you a Happy Christmas. See you at the Oval in January.

David Leathem
Chairman
