Christmas Lunch
The Christmas lunch is a purely social event. It is a chance for you to meet up with other members for a chat, perhaps meet someone you have only spoken to on the phone or e-mailed. There’s also a chance to do some Christmas shopping afterwards!
The lunches take place across the country, depending on demand towards the end of November or beginning of December.
