Lancshire and North Wales Branch celebrates its best ever dinner dance thanks to the splendid efforts of Elaine and Steve Gower

摘要

The Lancashire and North Wales branch of the IRE held its annual dinner dance on Saturday 29th December. This year we had a new venue. One committee member proposed a location where we could have had a pie, a pint and a karaoke for under a tenner but another queried the provenance of the pies. A further detraction to the suggested venue was that they thought that a pint of lager and lime was a cocktail. We therefore ended up in a 5 star luxury hotel in Chester albeit 2 days before it officially opened which was quite an interesting experience. The hotel improvised with candles during the occasional power cuts which just served to enhance the ambiance and the fact that the tills did not work all of the time proved to be no hindrance to obtaining copious quantities of beer wine and spirits throughout the function.
