Life and 50 years + Member's Night
Overview
We arrange this gathering for long time members of the club to meet and socialise.
Typically, the evening comprises an invitation-only gathering starting at around 6.30pm (drinks and nibbles are served) followed by a normal club night with a talk or presentation selected to suit the occasion.

Social Committee tasks
The Social Committee is responsible for preparing, serving and passing round drinks and nibbles
- drinks -- typically soda, juice, and wine -- served in disposable plastic cups/ glasses
- nibbles such as sandwiches, cheese, pâté. These can either be arranged individually or platters of sandwiches ordered from New World.
- in 2010-11 the approved budget for food and drinks was $250. For the 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 years a formal budget hasn't been set for SC events.
- these drinks and nibbles are cleared away by the Social committee and hot drinks are served as per a normal club night
Notes
- at least four social committee members should be on hand from soon after 5pm to help prepare the food and drinks.
- “sandwiches should not be far out (aim for mild flavours)” (thanks Jane P) Although the Wasabi peas were popular one year...
