Recent Past Event: 240th Annual St. George’s Day Dinner
The well-attended traditional St. George’s Day Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding Dinner, served with a selection of appropriate wines, was held on Thursday, 23rd April at St. Margaret of Scotland Church Hall, Halifax. Two former Lt. Governors, special guest and old and new members were in attendance. The Rev. Canon Stephen Paul Booth’s timely and thought-provoking address on “The Ubiquity of English Tradition and Culture” was well received and, at the request of several attendees, is now posted on our Blogs & Asides page. As usual, the evening was punctuated with music, good conversation and cheer. An ad hoc committee has already been struck and plans are underway for an even better 241st St. George’s Day dinner on 23rd April, 2027. Save the date!
Upcoming Event: Chester Garden Party (August date TBA)
Enjoy our upcoming casual August afternoon with friends, wine and finger-foods and conversation and cheer at our Past President Carol Dodd’s tangled garden in beautiful Chester by the Sea. This is the perfect event for your special guests.
