Sadly the quality of the food has decreased over the same time period. It’s pretty ordinary now and not worth the money. Over the last few months its begun to feel that we’re being ripped off and two of the guys on my table have stopped attending because of it. I’m beginning to feel the same way.

pongo88 Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I’m a Senior Red and pay the princely sun of £7.50 per year for the privilege. I find the lunches very drawn out affairs with average food so rarely attend, unless it’s a good speaker - eg Steve Lansdown, Peter Latham, Geoff Twentyman. These sort of speakers are prepared to answer a wide variety of questions so the info you get is very interesting. Unfortunately I couldn’t attend when SL was the speaker before Christmas, and haven’t attended any others, this season. so I have paid my £7.50 just to stay at home. In a usual season I might attend twice maximum so spreading to £7.50 over the two lunches means they cost approx £21 each. I’m doubting whether to bother to renew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reasonable, in a way, but it’s very average food and the whole event is rather slow. A lot of restaurants do lunchtime special offers for a similar price, or less, with better food and a lively atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiking the meal cost to a grab a few extra quid from those who are probably no longer working is a grubby act of greed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice sentiment but I’m sure none of us feel that we are worthy of a free lunch - the club is a business after all. Im very much with Pongo88 - I’m beginning select when I attend theses days. To me it’s about the speaker. This month it’s the Head Groundsman and I’m meh about it. I see Pete Woods most pre matches in the SC&T bar and he is now involved in Seniore Reds in an official capacity and have spoken to him about the food and the speakers and I’m sure he’ll pass on the feedback to the committee.
