The President's Evening (formerly known as The President's Get-Together) is an annual event in which your President invites all Past Presidents, Life Members and Committee Members to join him for an evening dinner.  Since the function doesn't benefit the whole Membership it cannot draw on Club funds so has to be paid for in full by the participants, although any surplus does go to the Club.

As is traditional on these occasions, the President provided entertainment for us all after the dinner with a quiz, carefully crafted on his behalf by Brian Johnstone.  Since neither Keith, Mavis nor Brian could take part in the quiz, that left 24 participants who were split into six teams of four.  Writing this some weeks later I can't remember now who won, but it doesn't matter because we all had a lot of fun taking part!
