UK SECTION CHRISTMAS LUNCH
The 2014 Christmas Lunch will be held at the RAF Club, 128 Piccadilly, London on December 10th (12:30 for 1:00). I am very pleased to announce that our guest of honour, who will address us, will be Polly Vacher MBE. Polly is an aviator extraordinaire! Her first Wings Around the World Challenge in aid of the charity “Flying Scholarships for the Disabled” was in 2001. Between January and May she made a solo eastbound circumnavigation of the world in her single-engine Piper Cherokee Dakota G-FRGN. This was the smallest aircraft flown solo by a woman around the world via Australia and included a 16-hour segment from Hawaii to California.
In May 2003 she set out from Birmingham International Airport on a Voyage to the Ice for the same charity flying over the North Pole, Antarctica and all seven continents. She returned in April 2004 becoming the first solo woman flyer over the Polar Regions.
Four years later she again set off from Birmingham this time on her Wings Around Britain Challenge in which she was to land at all the airfields in the Jeppesen VFR Manual. Between 21 May and 31 July 2007 she visited 221 airfields flying 19,000 nautical miles in 158 hours. 96 disabled passengers were flown on legs of the flight.
For the Lunch I have chosen the following menu:
Terrine of Sole and Salmon, served with salad leaves and tarragon mayonnaise.
Chicken Supreme with Mushrooms and Madeira Sauce, served with Purée potatoes and French Beans.
Vacherin with a warm Compote of Forest Fruits served with Vanilla Ice cream
Coffee and Petit Fours.
The cost of the Lunch is £45 p.p. I look forward to seeing you at the RAF Club on the 10th for what I am sure will be a very special occasion.
