Evening Social Events

Numbers are limited for dinner events - please register early to avoid disappointment.

For this reason, we’d also like to ask you to let us know if your plans have changed after you have booked your places so we can resell your ticket to someone else. We’d hate to waste the food. Unfortunately we will not be able to refund you your ticket, but we will donate the extra money, if your ticket does get sold again, to ‘Send a Cow’.

New for this year: Only for our 1-2 years qualified colleagues. You can now purchase a package that includes dinner!
