The last event for the first half of this year will be an 8-course gourmet dinner in the recently opened annex of Lien, a small French restaurant near Ikejiri Ohashi Station. The annex, Privé de Lien, is even smaller than the main restaurant, and although we have booked the whole place on July 19th, we will only be able to accommodate 16 people.

Members who wish to attend this dinner should contact Tim Minton (t.minton[at]camford[dot]org) by July 16th, bearing in mind that all of the places will almost certainly have been taken long before this date!

Our main June event, the annual Early Summer Party, will be held on Wednesday, June 20th (18:30 – 21:00) at the British Ambassador’s Residence and hosted by the Society’s President and British Ambassador to Japan, HE Paul Madden CMG.

The Triennial General Meeting will be chaired by our President, Mr Paul Madden. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. and is likely to last 30 or 40 minutes. It will be followed by a seated dinner starting around 7 o’clock, the cost of which will be subsidised by the Society for those who attend the GM. Drinks will be served in the interim. This event is for members only.

Members who would like to attend this event should contact Tim Minton (t.minton[at]camford[dot]org) by Monday, April 16. Members may, of course, attend the General Meeting without attending the dinner (and without charge), but to comply with Tokyo Club’s rules we still require advance notice of intention to attend. Members may also opt to attend the dinner without attending the GM, but anyone who chooses this option will be charged the full per-person cost of the dinner.

Attendance fees (to be paid in advance; account details will be sent to those attending): GM only: 0 yen, GM + Dinner: 5,000 yen, Dinner only: 8,000 yen
No-show/late cancellation charges will be 8,000 yen (except for those who sign up for the GM only).

It is located in Ginza 6-chome; directions will be sent to those who sign up.
