We are planning to hold the event once again at the Taunton Rugby Football Club, Veritas
Park, Hyde Lane, Bath pool, Taunton, Somerset, TA2 8BU on Sunday 23 April 2023 at 1200hrs for 1230hrs.
The two-course carvery & dessert menu, including tea & coffee, is £15.00p per person, which
is extremely excellent value, thanks to being generously discounted by the Association.
Online payment by bank transfer is the preferred payment option but cheques will also be
accepted, full details are attached.
Those who have been before to this venue are familiar with the superb food, the friendly staff,
the comfortable surroundings, the excellent ambience, and of course good company. There
are disabled facilities including a lift to the Hyde Suite. There will also be a raffle held after
lunch so please bring along a suitable gift.
The venue is easy to find just off J25 M5 and has parking for 250 cars. Please purchase your
reservations in advance from our Secretary Martin Talling; a booking proforma is attached.
Due to the continued success of this event and its popularity increasing, early booking is
strongly advised to avoid disappointment. We are capped at 140 seats (fully booked last
year).
As previously, we are giving additional focus on tracking down as many Korean Veterans as
possible and getting them to this prestigious event. There will be plenty of people attending
from Cardiff, Forest of Dean, Gloucester, Bristol, Stroud, and all along the South Coast, so we
ask all association members to try and locate these heroes and get them to the lunch. Their
numbers are fewer every year so; so, let us make a year to remember these veterans
