Scandinavian Christmas Dinner at Daventry Golf Club

 

This year will be our fourth Scandinavian Christmas Dinner, by now almost a tradition in the early run‑up to Christmas.

As in previous years we would kindly ask all who attend to contribute to our dinner. Therefore we will need to decide who is bringing what, so if you have a favourite item, you’d better let us know early!  A list will be circulated.

Members and spouses/partners/guests are welcome, but, as you might remember, there is only room for a maximum of 35 people so we need to know as soon as possible if you would like to attend and if you are bringing guests along.

More information to follow.
