Wyvernians Reunion 2022 Lunch - 2

After the success of the informal Wyvernians Lunch in March of this year we have, as promised, arranged another Lunch in the restaurant at Clarence House on Wednesday 12th October. As before, this will just be a lunch – no memorabilia, no speeches, no AGM – just the opportunity to have lunch and chat with fellow Wyvernians. We appreciate that those who live a long way away will probably not be able to attend, but hopefully this local gathering will at least keep the momentum going until next year's full Reunion. Age UK should again be able to let us have exclusive use of the annex room which is off the main restaurant, but this depends on the numbers attending.

So, the date is Wednesday 12th October, meeting in the restaurant about 12.15 to 12.30 pm. Age UK would like to have a rough idea of numbers and menu choices in advance, so they will let us know which choices will be available on the 12th October menu approximately 2 weeks before that date, and I will circulate these to those who have registered their interest. There is usually a good choice which will include a vegetarian option, and we will just pay on the day.

We need to know numbers as soon as possible so if you are up for another convivial lunch please let me know as soon as possible – booking is essential as numbers will

be limited to about 30-35 maximum. Preferably contact me by email

My mobile is 07770 413228 if needed. If at a later date

you find that you are unable to attend, then please let me know.

Wyvernians 2022 Lunch

For those of you suffering from withdrawal symptoms due to the cancellation of the Reunion, we have arranged an informal Lunch in the restaurant at Clarence House on Wednesday 30th March. This will just be a lunch – no memorabilia, no speeches, no AGM – just the opportunity to have lunch and chat with fellow Wyvernians. 

We appreciate that those who live a long way away will probably not be able to attend, but we thought that even just a local gathering would keep the momentum going. Age UK should be able to let us have exclusive use of the annex room to gather in, which is off the main restaurant, but this depends on the numbers attending.

So, the date is Wednesday 30th March, meeting in the restaurant annex room at about 12.15pm. Age UK would like to have a rough idea of numbers and menu choices in advance, so they will let us know the choices that will be available on the 30th March menu approximately 2 weeks before that date, and I will circulate these to those who have registered their interest. There is usually a good choice which will include a vegetarian option, and we will just pay on the day.

We need to know numbers as soon as possible so if you are up for a convivial lunch please let me know as soon as possible – it is best to email me so that I can email the menu to you when it arrives. If you need to call me my mobile is 07770 413228. 

Should you find at a later date that you are unable to attend, then please let me know.

2022 Reunion Cancellation

Subject: CBS Reunion Cancellation
To:

Here's an important message from our founder

Dear Fellow Wyvernians,

Given the ongoing uncertain virus situation, we have regretfully decided the reunion planned for March 19th is not a viable option and is therefore cancelled.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed if and when things return to normal!

*** STOP PRESS! *** We are exploring the possibility of holding an informal mid week get-together for a meal in the Clarence House restaurant. If it proceeds participants will order and pay for their food on the day. More details will follow  *** WATCH THIS SPACE! ***   

2021 Proposed Reunion

In view of current circumstances we have decided to postpone the 2021 reunion until later in the year. We have provisionally booked 18th September 2021 in the usual place. Further details will be announced when known

2020 Reunion - Initial Report

On the Thursday leading up to the Reunion, following the PM's announcement, it was decided by all concerned that the Reunion should go ahead. It was another success. A full report will appear in our next newsletter. Photos of the event are now on our Facebook page. To view them CLICK/TAP HERE (Note you do not need to be a member of Facebook to see the photos). Our thanks to everyone who came - including our speaker Bharat Patel, who kept us enthralled and entertained with his potted autobiography (his book on the same subject "Indian Takeaway" is still on sale - with ALL proceeds going to the Hope Against Cancer charity - see their website https://www.hopeagainstcancer.org.uk/store/ for details of how to obtain your copy). Thanks also to John Hames for his help on the day - stepping in at short notice to help with setting up, packing away (& taking a few photos which are on our Facebook page). Once again Age UK Leicestershire did us proud with the catering and arrangements on the day. Our special thanks go to Antony Foster (Age UK's man on the ground) who has given us tremendous support over the years with our reunions. He is moving on to pastures new. Finally a big thank you to Stephanie, who puts in a lot of work on our behalf behind the scenes as well as running the raffle on the day.
