Trafalgar Dinner - Saturday 25th October 2025

Following last year's success, we will again hold our Trafalgar Dinner this year on Saturday, 25th October, at Leadenham Village Hall -  7 for 7.30pm.

Tickets just £26 per person which includes a three course meal, with coffee, prepared by our very own Mike Willgoose, former landlord of the George Hotel. Licenced bar - carriages 11 pm.

This is intended to be an informal occasion for members to get to know one another better in a soclai context; you are very welcome, indeed encouraged, to bring partners, and it will not be a stuffy formal dinner - far from it. Smart casual dress, no dinner suits required. 

Fair warning - sea shanties may (will) be sung, you don't have to join in if you are tone deaf, but why not have a go!

If you want to bring a group, we can accommodate tables of four, six, eight, ten or twelve - but don't dally, as numbers are limited by space. At the other end of the scale, you are very welcome to come alone or as part of a couple, when you will be seated with others.

You can book a table by emailing milhistory@btinternet.com, or cal 07967 352218. 

This year we will ask for payment in advance which can be made direct to the following account:

Account name: Timonthy C Willbond

Sort code: 30 13 52

If you make a payment into this account, please put the code TR25, followed by your surname, as the reference.
