The Club held its annual Christmas Dinner at Darwin College, University of Kent on Saturday December 3rd. Around 120 people assembled in the Conference Centre to enjoy a pre-dinner drink before the event, hosted by Rtn President Harry Cragg and impeccably organised by Rtn Roger Power.
Grace was said by Rtn Rev. Derek Crabtree and a delicious Dinner was served.
The Choir of St Stephen’s Church Hackington entertained us with a range of carols and other Christmas songs.
The Honoured Guest and after-Dinner speaker was the Most Rev. Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.
