About the Event

7.15pm to 9.45pm, Wednesday 5 March 2025

This is your chance to attend the most important meeting of the year, praise or criticise the outgoing committee and have an influence on the incoming committee. You also have the chance to tell us how you think we are doing, what you would like us to do and most importantly elect your committee for the coming year.

To prepare you for the formalities of the evening we shall be providing Tea or Coffee with a biscuit or two.  So why not come a little early, bring a friend and enjoy our hospitality and a chat.

After the formalities have been completed, Mike Wabe will introduce us to the drink once scorned as the Devil's drink, coffee has triumphed over centuries of scepticism to become a beloved global phenomenon, and now is your chance to discover its rich history.  Originating in Ethiopia, where its stimulating properties were first discovered by goat herders, this miraculous beverage soon captivated the world.  However, coffee faced opposition from religious authorities in the Middle East and Europe during the 16th century.

Today, coffee is a global phenomenon, cherished for its rich flavours and invigorating effects.  From its turbulent beginnings to its current status as a global ritual, coffee's journey embodies the triumph of taste over tradition.

Learn about today’s coffee culture, how it began and the history of the 4 main coffee sellers in the country, and hear about some of the weird, wonderful and strange facts about this beverage.

Discover the history of coffee in every sip.

All welcome.
