Following the closure date, places will be allocated to Ordinary Members and then to those Members requesting a private professional guest. In the event of demand for guests outstripping availability, a ballot system will be used prioritising members who did not bring a guest to the previous Venison Feast in 2023.
Members will be informed of the allocation of a guest place by email no later than Thursday 1st August and request for payment along with names and dietary requirements will be made at that time. A reserve list will be in operation should any cancellation present an availability.
An Invitation in the form of a ‘pour memoir’ will be sent to any Member who has a private guest for them to forward to their guest. Reducing costs, these cards will not be sent to Members but would be available for collection if requested.
