NOTE: This is NOT an officially organized event by the British Embassy as many like myself have always thought - I think mainly because in the past it's been HELD at the British Ambassador's residence. Evidentially it's been organized for awhile by a group of citizens calling themselves the "British Community" [that's a new one for me as I always thought it was the ambassador that put this on or at least the embassy]).
VICKI'S COMMENT ON THE PRICE: I've had numerous people email me about the price since it's LOTS more this year from the 2,500-c last year. My comment was at least for me - each year I went I always would get the Fish and Chips and something else - which if my memory is working - made that with the entrance close to if not more than 10,000-c. This year will be a Picnic Buffet (I won't have clarity till next week if it's all-you-can-eat or not). Also, this year you also get a POOL plus this year they can only handle about 350 guests - vs the thousands of people in the past!!!!
But one of the big things to me is remembering this IS a FUNDRAISER & with that BIG cut in attendees - that means their fundraising efforts will be MUCH lower!
This event is open to ALL!!!
