Our next event: The Phenomenon of the English Whisky Revival - Wednesday the 22nd of July 2026
Chester Golf Club, Curzon Park
Past President and whisky lover Sandy McLennan is going off piste for this talk.
He will give an illustrated talk on the phenomenon of the English whisky revival with 5 or 6 generous samples of some of the finest award-winning drams from south of the border that are a match for anything produced anywhere else (apart from north of the border of course 😉).
And the one after that - Guess what its oor AGM
Save the date: Thursday the 19th October venue to be decided.. A meal, a few drinks, a very short AGM and then a talk by Rob Marrs on “Botanical Black Ops: a bit of a Rùm do!” This will show how botanists are super cool and get up to all sorts of mischief and derring do and discuss a mid-20th Century scientific fraud, how it was uncovered and the aftermath.

Whit a Great Burns Dinner we had this year
With a slightly modified format, fewer and shorter speeches and more music from the incomparable Tarland Fiddler Dr Paul Anderson MBE, and renowned Scottish Folk Singers Bruce and Sandra. Absolutely brilliant. We also had a stunning performance of the epic Burns Poem "Tam O' Shanter" from Donald Rowantree
