IRRV East Midlands Association Dinner Dance - 16th November 2024
This year's Dinner Dance will be held on 16th November 2024 at the Casa Hotel, Chesterfield.
The event is always a popular occasion and we look forward to celebrating the year and partying with you. This year, thanks to sponsorship from both Wilkin Chapman LLP and NEC Software Solutions, we have been able to hire The Silvertones to play a couple of sets for us.
Our President Paul Bowden has nominated two charities this year, Prostate Cancer - Lincs and Humber Support Group and Parkinsons UK - Grimsby Support Group and Marstons will be sponsoring the raffle, where all donations will be shared between these two charities.
If you would like to come along to the event, please get in touch with our Secretary with confirmation of how many tickets you would like. We will be in touch ahead of the event to get the names of guests in your party. Tickets are priced at £49.00 per person.
There are some rooms available, on a first come, first served basis, at a reduced rate, when booking directly with the hotel. Please quote the code 2411EASTMI.

Christmas Lunch at the Wisteria Hotel Oakham - 1st December 2022 ***Note to all train travellers on the day***
With just over a fortnight to go before our Christmas Lunch (1st December) please be aware of possible rail disruption currently affecting services between Leicester and Peterborough. A refuse lorry has hit a railway bridge in the Rutland area which could take weeks to repair. As a result, there is currently a rail replacement service in place on this line which could affect those planning to travel to Oakham on the train.
