This will be held at the Amapola on 10^th September.  All the round tables of 10 will be set up outside around the Courtyard and swimming pool.  Entertainment is Carolynn May who has an outstanding voice and was very entertaining when she performed for us 2 years ago.  There will be a 3 course meal with a bottle of wine per person for 32€.  It will be a real pleasure to have a reason to dress up and get out and about!
