Join the West Kent Branch for Christmas drinks and buffet. It's the perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow members and spread some holiday cheer. Feel free to invite spouses, partners, colleagues, consultants and contractors. Don't forget to wear your best Christmas jumper.
Also, if you have any ideas about what you’d like your local branch to do in 2025, we’d love to hear them.
We’ll have our own private area at this very pleasant country pub with wheelchair access.
Tickets are £10, with a buffet served of festive pizzas, pigs in blankets and roast potatoes, plus a glass of fizz on arrival. Please let us know any dietary requirements when booking your ticket.
If you have any queries, please contact Marc Wright, branch Secretary.
