Ludlow and Church Stretton Supper Club – Chairman Mrs Pam Twitchell
This is a very popular not for profit dining club, open to both members and non-members, that meets once a month between October and March.
The suppers are held most often at the Long Mynd Hotel in Church Stretton and The Clive Bromfield (on the outskirts of Ludlow). In the last two years the Club has also met at the Stretton Hall Hotel, The Feathers Hotel and Overton Grange. There is a fixed menu that varies each month.
Speakers are invited from a wide range of backgrounds both political and non-political. They are usually influential in local politics or newsmakers from Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
If you wish to join the Supper Club there is an annual fee of £5 to cover administration and then £21.00 (11/12 season) per person per 3-course meal they attend. A glass of wine is also included at some venues.
