Lunch at Stade Court Hotel including Cinque Port clubs raid

This will be a grand affair where we anticipat that this lunch will have 80 odd attendees from Hythe Rotary and our fellow Cinque Port Rotary Clubs.  To mark this occasion we will also be hosting Admiral Lord Boyce who is The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports*

* The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports is a ceremonial official in the United Kingdom. The post dates from at least the 12th century, when the title was Keeper of the Coast, but may be older. The Lord Warden was originally in charge of the Cinque Ports, a group of five (cinque in Norman French) port towns on the southeast coast of England that were formed to collectively supply ships for The Crown in the absence at the time of a formal navy. Today the role is a sinecure and an honorary title, and 14 towns belong to the Cinque Ports confederation. The title is one of the higher honours bestowed by the Sovereign; it has often been held by members of the Royal Family or Prime Ministers, especially those who have been influential in defending Britain at times of war.
