Flying off to the club...

Upon receiving notice of the special for the 23rd to 27th July 2018, I am quickly going to jump into my car and 'fly' off to the club.

Chef has always done chicken well at the club, and such remains a firm favourite of mine.

If the grilled chicken wings are as good as the other chicken dishes on offer, then the meal will be well worth it and a good way of spending my time at the club.

The soups prepared at the club are also a delight. Thick creamy soups perfect for a cold winter's day.

What more can one say?

The caterers have always done the Old Edwardian Society proud, and produce really good food for its members.

The food is good solid fare, and is not wanting, no matter how you measure it.

Not only that, but all fully-paid-up members also get a 10% discount on all food and drinks - except specials.

Join the Happy Hour Club.

The Honours Boards in the foyer.

For R100.00 up front for a full year’s subscription you are automatically entered into twelve monthly draws - whether or not you are present in the Club’s King’s Tavern bar on the first Friday evening of each month, when the prizewinners’ names are drawn.

There are three payouts each month, yielding prizes of R500.00 and R300.00.

The third prize is a R500.00 monthly attendance prize - the winner of course having to be present when their number is drawn. This prize is accumulated for six months if not drawn.

In addition, there is a special draw for “out-of-town” resident members, paying R100.00 six times per year.

Preceding the draw on each first Friday, there is a Lucky-dip draw (Entrance R10.00), with two cash prizes each paying out R100.00.

All money collected for the Happy Hour Club is utilised specifically for Old Edwardian Society projects.

On the third Friday of each month there is a guest speaker in the King’s Tavern, covering topics of general interest right across the spectrum.

To join, simply send a R100.00 cheque, made out to the Old Edwardian Society - Happy Hour Club, to PO Box 781006, Sandton or preferably do a deposit into the Club’s bank account:

Skewer winter!

Tired of the cold?

Aren't we all?

Once again Old Ed's caterers (Agdervanic Caterers) step into the breach to provide warmth in these cold winter months.

This weeks specials see a beef kebab served with  chips and salad, as well as a creamy mushroom soup.

Both specials are, well, special and are a wonderful treat.

Personally, I find it difficult to choose between them, and just end up having them both.

One is really hard pressed to find meals as good as what you can have at Old Eds.

The standard is consistently high and always enjoyable.

Please note that the 10% members' discount does not apply to specials.

For a cold winters day - sorry, week!

South Africa is currently in Winter's firm grasp.  With abundant rain in the fairest of all Capes, snow covering parts of the Drakensberg, and an icy chill on the highveld. Added to the looming petrol price hike, there does not seem to be much to celebrate in a cold Johannesburg.

However, Old Ed's caterers have swooped in to rescue all members from such times,  and have once again produced specials that will warm the cockles of all our hearts.

The current offering of the mushroom soup and mutton curry are a delight.

Both are firm favourites of mine, and are most enjoyable.

It is worth braving Johannesburg's traffic to go to  the not  club to have the meals, even if you are not participating in any of the many sporting codes offered at the Society.

Firmly ensconced behind one, or both, of the specials, all your cares simply disappear as you give yourself over to the specials.

Please, though, remember that the 10% member discount does not apply to the specials - the specials are special enough!
