Spring Social Menu
Tickets available until 10th March, and the hot supper menu and it sounds delicious.

Just two weeks to go now before our St Patrick's Day Social on 17th March. As mentioned in the artcile in the newsletter we are using outside caterers and I now have menus, which are as follows.

Main course
A choice of:
· Supreme of Chicken in a creamy leek sauce topped with a herb crumb

- Hot Smoked Salmon and Prawn Salad served with warm ciabatta

- Goat's Cheese, Sun-Dried and Red Pesto Tart served with a red onion, black olive and cucumber salad

Served with garlic rosemary roasted potatoes (where applicable) and seasonal vegetables.

Desserts
- Apple and Almond Tart served with Creme Anglaise
- Chocolate and Clementine Torte served with double cream

Can those of you who have bought tickets please let Trevor know which of the three choices of main course you would like to have; there is no need to choose a dessert as both will be available on the night to choose. If you are a vegetarian it's particuarly important to let me know, so that the caterers can supply enough vegetarian meals. If you know of someone who contact me on 01947 600963.

For those of you who haven't bought tickets, maybe this menu might tempt you, it's not too late, but we will need to know final numbers by 10th March. If you are unable to get tickets from your group leaders by that date please let me know and we will reserve a ticket for you to collect on the door, Also just a reminder that if you have a partner or a friend who is not a u3a member they can attend provided they are with you
