OVERVIEW

• We are some twenty professional and retired professional people who meet about eight times each year

• the majority of our members live in herefordshire or monmouthshire but we do not have set boundaries and we welcome members and guests

• We maintain a good balance of member-hosted events and meals in restaurants plus other events

• Member-hosted events are mostly held in their own homes and two or three members host an event 

• Variation is made between meal-based events and presentations such as wine tastings

• Occasionally, we visit vineyards and food production venues such as a smokery

• Similarly, we go on foreign gastronomic visits to places such as Strasbourg  Guernsey, Bruges and Lille

• We support the Society's national and international events described in the main website

• Our events are framed by the Society objectives and specifically:

"The promotion of a broad knowledge and understanding of both wine and food, the enhancement of their appreciation, and the nurturing of camaraderie among those who share the pleasures of the table."
