Ladies Lunch Club
Chairman and Contact: Mrs Anne Andersen 01424 842002 [email protected]
A Group of women who are Members of the Association meet bi-monthly usually on the 3rd Thursday of alternate months starting in January, at the Brickwall Hotel, Sedlescombe. January 2024 meeting will be the 4th Thursday as the hotel is closed at the beginning of that month.
We gather from 12.15pm in the bar for a drink and a chat and the chance to buy raffle tickets, and at 12.45pm go into a very pleasant dining room for our meal; main course, dessert and coffee.
At about 2.00pm, we have a Speaker who talks for ½ - ¾ hour and answers any questions, and then we draw the raffle. Our Speakers cover a wide range of subjects; usually a couple each year are political. We always finish at 3pm.
In 2023 we have had an interesting mix of speakers and our last one this year:
- 16th November – Kate Sands from East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service
Programme for 2024 as follows:
- Thursday 25 January - Captain Guy Thomas, Team GB for Racewalking
- Thursday 21 March - James Cowling, NextGen Tories
- Thursday 16 May - Angela Hatcher, NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board
- Thursday 18 July - Jamila Robertson, Entrepreneur
- Thursday 19 Sept - Huw Merriman, MP - Inside Parliament
- Thursday 21 Nov - Alzheimer's Research UK
It is a very pleasant social occasion and is well supported by many regular members.
The annual cost to be a member of the Lunch Club is £10.00, to cover the expense of printing the annual programme on a card for each member, and contacting members 6 times a year to remind them of the next date and inviting them to confirm if they would like to attend. The cost of the meal is £25.00.
Please contact me if you would like to hear more or wish to join, you will be very welcome!
