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."
