OMP Club Night – Spanish Cheese and Wine Tasting

On Zoom

Those cheese aficianados in our ranks will remember with fondness the discovery that September's Spanish Cheese & Wine tasting actually turned out to be French! Still, two bottles of excellent French wine per person ensured an uproarious evening, which was further enhanced by the six delicious cheeses a-la-Macron. As a follow-up, this time the Company WILL enjoy its hoped-for Spanish-themed evening, supplied as usual by our very nice cheesemonger up in York, Love Cheese. The irrepressible Mollie will once again guide us through the Spanish Red and the White, plus the six Spanish cheeses, and as Spain is perhaps not the first country we all think of when considering cheese (as everyone frequently does!) it is sure to be an interesting, as well as a nourishing evening. The cost of attendance is £50 per person and you can book in on here or email the Clerk. He will then send out the Zoom login details to those attending, and the cold-pack of Spanish cheese and wine will then be delivered a day or two before the event.

“Glorious First of June” Lunch

Leander Club Nr henley Bridge, Henley On Thames, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

Our Master is a naval man and thus the great British sea victory on this day in 1794 against the nascent fleet of the new French revolutionary republic is imprinted firmly on his mind. He is taking this key date as an ideal excuse to lead us to a convivial lunch at the world-famous Leander Rowing Club, on the banks of the Thames, hard by Henley Bridge. The Club has a splendid, light-filled dining room overlooking the river, with its own private car park opposite the front gate, and the whole occasion promises to be great fun. Our principal guest for the day will be Sheriff Chris Hayward, who will be joining us with his wife, Alex, and will be talking to us about how the Corporation is supporting the City Commercial as it reopens, and where the pinch points have been during the pandemic. Then, after lunch, we can all enjoy a gentle stroll along the towpath by the banks of that beautiful stretch of river. Guests are most welcome and dress is jacket and tie for gentlemen (no jeans) and the equivalent for Ladies. The Club opens for us at 12.30pm and we dine at 1pm.

OMP Club Night – “Best of British” Cheese & Wine Tasting

On Zoom

Following the latest, highly successful tasting in March, on that occasion a Spanish-themed one, our gourmet wing opted for an British theme for the next such event. As usual, this will involve a robustly packed, chilled parcel of six good cheeses, complimented by two, cheese-friendly wines, all delivered to your door, a day or two before the event. Then on the evening, Harry, the boss of our cheesemonger, Love Cheese, will guide us through all six cheeses and the various tasting options, with and without the wines, so we all end up happily full and much better informed about this important aspect of our culture. The cost of attendance is £60 per person and you can book in on here or email the Clerk. He will then send out the Zoom login details to those attending, and the cold-pack of British cheeses and wines will land on your doormat, complete with background notes and tasting instructions.
