Itinerary – Meet at Fisherman’s Cottage at 16.00 pm if you wish to have a guided tour of Ayton Castle. Only recently have guided tours become available for the general public. I am told by John Edwards that, strictly speaking, it is a fortified Manor House which was built in the turbulent 14th Century. The trip may take up to an hour AND IS VOLUNTARY of course.
17.00hrs – Repair to Fisherman’s Cottage where we will start the evening with a complimentary glass of bubbly and then enjoy a traditional Greek starter consisting of cold meze and finishing with hot meze such as grilled lamb meatballs.
18.00hrs – We help ourselves to spit-roasted marinated lamb and chicken served with Greek Village Salad and buttered Jersey potatoes.
19.00hrs – Dessert course consisting of Greek-style yoghurt served with sweet white grapes and honey (there will also be some Tiramisu for anyone who doesn’t like yoghurt).
DRINKS – There will be a self-service bar with drinks at supermarket prices, typically £5-6 bottle for wine and £1 for beer and lager. Or please feel free to bring your own liquor if you wish – we have plenty of glasses!
WEATHER – If inclement then the event will be held in a marquee and will not be cancelled unless very strong winds occur which is unlikely.
COST – To include the bubbly and a per capita contribution to the Friends of Ayton Castle – £15 per head to be paid on the night.
RSVP – This is an event for members, partners and guests. If you wish to attend then please Tom know by email no later than 12.00hrs on Monday 10 July.
(REMINDER – this is an OPT IN event so you have to book if you wish to attend)
