The AGM has today been booked and is now confirmed as being on the 8th April 2006 at the reading Moat House. This is the same venue as where the AGM was held last year.
The AGM will be held in the same two rooms that we hired last year but this year we are going to try a theatre view with the seating. The AGM is programmed to start at 1pm.
For the evening’s entertainment the club has booked the night club next door. The night club comes complete with the hotel’s own house disco and door security. It can hold up to 200 guests so off course will be open to all.
From a catering point of view the hotel offers two different courses. A finger buffet can be provided at £10.80 a head or alternatively we can order a sit down meal at £24 a head. This might seem a little on the expensive side but bearing in mind the success of the Christmas dinner we thought it might be nice to sit down again to an evening meal. Unfortunately, they can only cater for 70 sit down and the menu is fixed, and is listed below for your reference. So I await with anticipation which course you would like us to book.
There are a certain amount of rooms available at the reduced rate of £69, (double occupancy inc Breakfast) on the web. After these have gone the rate goes up to £80.
I am still negotiating with them to block book 35 rooms at the reduced rate and will know more tomorrow. If unsuccessful I will post a link to the booking area so you can book independently on a first come first served basis.
I forgot to mention there will be a vegitarian option for those who request it.
Menu:
Cream of leek and potato soup topped with herb croutons
Oven baked filled supreme of chicken with a sun-dried tomato and mozzarella stuffing
Served with a selection of seasonal vegetables
Chocolate truffle torte garnished with seasonal fruits
Coffee & Mints
Having spoken with the hotel today we have been able to secure 35 rooms at the reduced rate of £67. This price is for double occupancy so we will need to know whether you want a twin room or a double room. There is no discount for single occupancy so I suggest you need to bring a friend. Off course this includes breakfast.
We have also booked a sit down meal for 70. This off course means that there are only 30 packages available as both Simon Baker and Paul Roberts, both of whom live locally plus Mark and Russ who have made other arrangements will not be staying over night but will off course be staying for the dinner. This may also apply to a couple of others so the ealier I know the better.
What this means in reality is that the club has today paid for the rooms so the first 30 people to send their cheques in for £115 will secure the package at this price. The rooms will revert back to standard rate of £80 thereafter.
