Stoke Branch Dinner
2018-10-27 19:00 - 23:30 | Quality Hotel Conference and Leisure, 66 Trinity Street, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST1 5NB
STOKE BRANCH DINNER SATURDAY 27th OCTOBER 2018
Due to unforeseen circumstances the Stoke Branch OCA Dinner venue has changed. This year’s dinner will now be held at the Quality Hotel Conference and Leisure, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. Built in 1900 and formerly a grand railway hotel, the Quality Hotel remains iconic to this day. Its Uniqueness is being able to accommodate and deliver a personal touch to the expectations of our annual dinner.
Facilities include: – Free Wi-Fi, bar and restaurant, gym, swimming pool, sauna/steam room. The hotel has 135 rooms, all designed with your comfort in mind. They range from Singles, twins, doubles, executive, suites and disabled rooms. The function room can accommodate 250 sitting guest so plenty of room for all.
The Hotel is 5 miles off the M6. Hanley Town Shopping Centre is 300 metres away, the Festival Park, home to shops, ten-screen cinema, 10-pin bowling, Waterworld (an indoor aqua park) and the Stoke Ski Centre, which boasts an Alpine toboggan run is just 5 minutes walk away.
Parking at the Hotel is free to guest staying. There is however a small charge of £1.80 for those attending the evening function. Please ensure you book you car registration in at reception once you arrive or you will be fined for illegally parking.
If you require more information then please visit the hotel web page at http://www.qualityhotelstoke.com
Dinner price this year is £23.50pp, I’m sure you will agree that it’s a fair price with a newly selected menu A and B including Coffee and Tea and mints. Room rates are:- Twin/Double Room £75BB per Night and Singles £65BB. There will also be a 10% discount on drinks at the Longshaw bar evening only. We have also booked a Brass Band to play regimental music during the dinner. As always a raffle and auction will be conducted, donation for this raffle and auction are more than welcome. All proceeds from the raffle and auctions help fund the Band and future dinners. We also have sufficient funds that can support the odd free ticket, so if you are aware of anyone who would like to attend but finds it difficult to find the funds, please let me know, total discretion is assured.
The gathering for lunchtime drinks will still be at the Brewers Fayre pub, this is 400 meters away next to the Premier Inn on Trinity Street across from Sainsbury’s. Nando’s, TGI Friday and Bella Italia restaurants, as well as a Costa Coffee are also next to this Brewers Fayre. Those that think this Hotel’s prices are expensive could also look at this Premier Inn accommodation, but I think you will find the above prices are excellent and include breakfast, but always worth looking on booking.com.
To book DINNER TICKETS please complete the 2018 dinner proforma and return to the address shown below with the appropriate cheque and a stamped addressed envelope. If no envelope is enclosed the booking will be made but no tickets will be sent.
