Executive Committee - Old Edwardian Society

Monday 29 October 2018

If you go down to the club today...

Truly scrumptious.
Although the Old Edwardian Society is having a Special General Meeting (SGM) on 29 October 2018 at 18H00 in the King's Tavern, the Society's caterers (Agdervanic Caterers) continue to deliver in spite of everything that is going on around them.

The special for the week starting 29 October 2018 ending on 2 November 2018 is a (very) healthy chicken salad.

I can honestly say that I do not know how they are making any money on it. For only R60.00 it is a fantastic meal, and even I wondered how I was going to finish - there is just so much...

The special is truly scrumptious, and I cannot wait until I have another.

Please note that the 10% discount afforded to members of food and beverages do not apply to the weekly specials.

Thursday 25 October 2018

Friday, 26 October 2018 is your last chance.

Most desireable.
Agdervanic Caterers, the Old Edwardian caterers, continues to outperform.

The weekly specials are eagerly awaited, and then devoured by Society members and their guests.

This week's special certainly was popular - and for good reason.

After all, where else can you get a Sirloin Steak, Egg, Chips and Salad, along with one drink (Castle, Castle Lite, Hansa, Black Label, glass of wine, or cold drink) for only R100.00. The meal is served with one sauce. The choice of sauce is either cheese, mushroom, or pepper.

A good price, and a good meal...

However, the special ends on 26 October 2018, so if you do not rush over to the Society, you'll miss it. Then you'll be sorry!

Please note that the 10% discount given on food and beverages does not apply to the weekly specials.

Come along and support our boys!

The Old Edwardian Society's indomitable Premier Cricket team.
The Old Edwardian Society is renown for its standards.

This is particularly true for the cricket section. Under the astute leadership and direction of Mark Patterson, the cricket sub-club continues to perform well from year-to-year.

The Old Edwardian Society's Premier Cricket side are playing in the semi-final, and hopefully the final, at the Wanderers Stadium on Saturday, 3 November 2018. The first semi final game will be between Wanderers vs Delfos at 10H30.

The Old Edwardian's semi-final will start at 13H30.

The final will be at 17H30.

Entry fees are free, and it is not to be missed if you love cricket...
