Our first Face to Face Dinner Meeting

held at Ivy Hill Hotel on Thursday 20th August 2020


This was our first dinner meeting under Covid-19 guidelines. Ivy Hill Hotel is a Covid-19 Secure Venue. Our seating arrangements were as per Govt. rules – i.e. only 2 households per table.

We also needed to keep the required social-distancing apart from other households.

On arrival, wearing a mask, we entered by the hotel’s main entrance to follow the route to Ivy Suite (Ivy 1 & 2).

After sanitising, we checked the Table Plan and went directly to our respective tables. We could then remove our masks.

Bar drinks, dinner & coffee were served to the guests seated at their tables.

Under instructions we did NOT go to the Bar - Orders for drinks were taken at our table; payment was by contactless card payment only – not cash.

The menu for the evening was delicious - 

Vine tomato, olive, pepper & mozzarella bruschetta with gremolata dressing

*****

Loin of Pork, wild mushroom & grain mustard cream sauce 

Pommes Anna Panache of Vegetables

*****

Lemon Pannacotta, Raspberry Coulis

*****

Coffee & Teas

A Wine Raffle was held at the end of the meeting.

A successful F2F meeting with partners – attended by 34.
