Our March 2022 'Last Friday' event at the Mandeville Hotel was once again a chatty affair. A good turnout for dinner was boosted at the social afterwards by more members popping along for drinks and talks. A sparsely populated hotel bar was quickly commandeered by our group, where we were made very comfortable by the plush surroundings and the very accommodating staff there. A good time was had by all evidenced by members staying until closing time !

After an absence of just over 2 years, we were able to dust off our DJ's, polish our patent leather shoes and learn to tie a proper black tie again, as we held our first Black Tie event since February 2020. Demand was very high for the event and we had to restrict numbers to 40, but those who did attend seemed to get into the swing of things very quickly. Perhaps it was pre-dinner Champagne reception that got things off to a good start?

Our 2nd re-started 'Last Friday' social event was as successful as the previous month, with another great turn out of 22 people for the pre-dinner and some more for the drinks social afterwards. Conversations flowed as freely as the wine, as can be seen from the photo everybody had a lot of catching up to do. The Washington Mayfair hotel waiting staff were very attentive and the food served as delicious as it looked.

After finally restarting the monthly 'Last Friday' gatherings after a break of 23 months, we were very pleased to welcome a large gathering at the Cavendish Hotel. Very kindly the hotel offered us a private room to accommodate the 22 members who had booked for our pre social dinner. Afterwards we retired to the bar where we were joined by another 10 members for drinks and convivial chat, and also to be entertained by one of our own playing the baby grand piano !

After an absence of 20 months the Suit & Tie Society were at last able to gather for an event. A lot had happened in the intervening period, but old friends and new joiners appeared not to have noticed as conversation and conviviality flowed as freely as the wine. Thanks to the efforts of SATS and O&C member Phillip an enjoyable evening was had by all. Here's looking forward to the resumption of regular monthly meetings in 2022, Covid variants permitting!
