Admission: Free, but bring money for beer
The time has come for the Club's just-before-Christmas final gathering, traditionally the annual opportunity to find out if Lord Mendrick is still alive. Although some maintain this meeting is always on a Friday, others (specifically Matthew Howard) feverishly deny this, and on this occasion we've gone for a Thursday, as by the next day we figure some people will be heading off into the sticks for family gatherings.
The venue is the picturesque Rising Sun on Cloth Fair, just off Smithfield meat market. This year we won’t have access to the private room upstairs, as it is fully booked with diners, so we’ll be cluttering the place up downstairs by the bar. Food is served until 8.30pm for those wishing to line their stomachs.
