Diary of Events... The society has a varied programme of events including at least one dinner and one lunch annually - these are very popular social events with a raffle of keenly contested prizes; and a winter series of talks by a range of experts in local history, conservation, design, arts and science. For many years we have organised a summer series of coach outings to historic houses and gardens. We are regularly consulted by the Council on important local plans and projects; we organise an annual members' meeting with a full panel of our local councillors; and we invite senior officers to make presentations to explain issues to our members and listen to their views. At our annual general meetings in recent years our guest speakers have included three council leaders, three council chief executives, the city planner and a local member of the European Parliament. We have also enjoyed get-togethers for a glass of wine at some of our members' Regency and Victorian houses. |

At the close of business (approximately 11 a.m). we will hear from our guest speaker: JOHN BARRADELL O.B.E.
Chief Executive, Brighton & Hove City Council John Barradell is in his first year of office as our City’s Chief Executive and we are delighted that he has accepted the invitation to speak to us so that we may hear some of his ideas and plans for the future of our local authority. There will be ample time for members' participation in the form of questions, comment and discussion. Don’t miss this opportunity for dialogue with our Council’s most senior official. It is YOUR meeting with a chance to input on any relevant matters, or just listen, as you wish. Following Mr. Barradell’s session there will be an opportunity to socialise over refreshments for about half an hour. We will vacate the hall by 1 p.m. SEE YOU THERE! LUNCHEON Thursday 27th May 2010 As you see, we have booked the ever popular Gallery Restaurant for a Kingscliffe Society lunch. These lunches - at which non-members are most welcome - are enjoyable, informal social occasions. We hope you will be able to come on the date above. Rather than offering one set menu you will be able to select your meal from the Restaurant’s own menu (vegetarian option available). Their charge for three courses is £10.50 and £8.50 for two courses (tea/coffee £1 per cup). Wines and soft drinks are available at very reasonable prices. Payment will be made at the lunch, by each individual table. We plan to have our usual raffle, with excellent prizes. To reserve a place(s) please complete the form below and return, as soon as possible, to: Janie Thomas We will have round tables seating 10 people. Please indicate on the form below if there is any one you would particularly like to sit with. We are likely to have a waiting list so if, after booking, you are unable to attend please let Janie know so that your place can be filled. Anyway, we have to give a firm number to the restaurant.
