sm2webb Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I saw there was meant to be a Senior Reds lunch today, with Nigel Pearson as guest speaker. Did it go ahead as planned? Did anyone on here attend? If so, are you happy to let us know what was talked about please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I haven’t attended Senior Reds for ages. The lunch became seriously overpriced and I decided not to pay for food simply not worth the money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Pearson didn't attend. Richard Latham was a late substitute and spoke with his usual knowledge on a range of City-related topics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When first joined Senior Reds it was just a fiver for decent value for money three course meal. Over time the cost increased and iirc the last time I went it was £20+ and decrease in quality. It became a rip-off. Its the club, not the Senior Reds who set the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galley is our king Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I went yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not just about the lunch but a great opportunity to talk with fellow reds, especially those old enough to remember as far back as me! The talk is always informative and entertaining. Pity NP couldn't attend but Richard Latham was excellent. Previous guests have included Richard Gould, Mark Kelly and some greats from the past including Geoff Merrick, Sweeney, Tainton etc. It's not just about the meal (although yesterday's was very nice), it's the occasion. 3 lovely hours spent in good company plus a nice meal for £20? I am more than happy! 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) I have recently joined and ok the meal might be deemed tad on the pricy side but as others alluded it’s a good few hours out and a chance to chew the cud with like minded people, as well catching up few old faces…literally. The guest speakers are pretty good and next month it’s Geoff Merrick. Always good. £20 that’s ok for the afternoon. Geoffs attendance coincides with the release of his book Edited January 21, 2022 by DT The Optimist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
