My dear friends,
Baroness Wheatcroft of Blackheath, former editor of the Sunday Telegraph and the Wall Street Journal Europe, will be the speaker for our first dinner of 2014, for which we're really very grateful.
Before becoming a press baroness, Lady Wheatcroft held jobs and garnered prizes the length of Fleet Street: along the way, Business and City Editor of The Times, Deputy City Editor of the Mail on Sunday, and Wincott Senior Journalist of the Year (2001), and London Press Club Business Journalist of the Year (2003).
Dinner is 7 for half 7 at the Oriental Club on the 23d january, and I suspect in our dinner jackets, cleaned and pressed somewhat after the December season. At the conclusion of the more formal portion of the evening, as usual, a quorum of us will carry on over port for further parliamentary debate, until 5 am when some of us will go swimming.
The Young Stationers have previously had, as guests in our dinner series, John Whittingdale MP, Desmond Browne QC, Lord Inglewood, Lord Black of Brentwood, and Chris McKane (Executive Editor of the Times). On 18th March, for our St Patrick's Day dinner, we will paint the town green with Culture Minister Ed Vaizey MP. We have not yet had Santa.
The menu which follows is principally to show off that this time, I've got you all caviar.
We've 27 remaining places in the Library, for my tuppence the most charming room in Clubland. (We in fact launched the Young Stationers there, on 6th March 2012.) So I'd be very grateful if you might reserve your place by wending in your pennies (£65) by BACS to account 02779270 and sort code 30-96-35 (my personal slush fund at Lloyds TSB, Oxford Carfax), or by PayPal to padraig...@gmail.com (please do just add in an extra £2.50 for PayPal charges).
with all very best wishes,
Paddy
