LAYING UP SUPPER 2024
We are delighted to announce that this year's Laying Up Supper extravaganza will again, by popular demand, be at Champagne Charlies Restaurant and Wine Bar. This keystone social event of the club's yearly activities continues to be the perfect opportunity for members (old and new), to gather together from all over the UK for a fun packed evening full of social intercourse.
Champagne Charlies is a lovely bar and restaurant nestled under the arches at Charing Cross. The restaurant can cater for up to eighty and so it is important that you submit your reservation as soon as possible as, once again, we are expecting demand to be high.
We are also pleased to reveal that the cost this year has been held to that of last, at just £70 per person, which includes an introductory glass of fizz, a delicious three-course meal (with a choice of menu, including vegetarian/vegan), plus a half bottle of wine per person, followed by tea, coffee…….and Mints! Non-alcoholic alternatives will, of course, also be available.
And by popular demand we have negotiated a bar extension through to mid-night. Whoopee!
The evening commences at 6pm with the welcome drink (the bar will also be open), followed by the meal at 7.30pm (you’ll be seated and served by the waiter). The Commodore’s ‘End of Season Review’, plus the annual club Awards will follow after tea, coffee…… and Mints!
The bar and restaurant will close at midnight, which is perfect timing for those wishing to continue the merriment, possibly at Heaven Night Club, which is literally a rather weak ‘stone’s throw’ across the passage way!
Dress Code: From smart casual upwards (including Dinner Jackets and Tuxedos), dresses if you wish, and kilts most certainly welcome!
To reserve places for you and your guests, please complete the on-line registration as soon as possible, indicating your menu choices, and with whom you wish to be seated (if applicable).
