LLSC Meeting 2nd October 2024

The Limes Country Lodge Hotel

The Lapworth Ladies Supper Club met at The Limes Country Lodge Hotel for the first supper event of the 2024/2025 season on Wednesday 2nd October.  The evening was well attended by members and their guests who enjoyed a two-course meal with coffee and tea and the evening concluded with a fascinating talk from Dr Gillian White.

Dr White entertained us with a factual and uplifting presentation on Queen Elizabeth 1 personal life. Elizabeth greatly favoured Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicestershire. However, despite flirtations with him, and other suitors, her resolve to remain single held strong. During the Elizabethan period, Kenilworth Castle was one of the greatest medieval castles in England. Dudley was not easily put off by Elizabeths ‘independence’ and he hosted a lavish 3-week extravaganza for her at Kenilworth Castle in a most impressive attempt to persuade her to change her mind and marry him. Whilst Elizabeth could not help but beflattered, her ambition and desire for power won over her dilemma of marriage, children and an heir to the throne.

We were spell bound by the extent of Dr White’s knowledge and grateful for her enthusiasm which brought alive the history and made it such a climax to the evening. We also thank the staff at The Limes Country Lodge Hotel for their hospitality and making us so welcome.

Our next meeting. On Wednesday 6th November 2024 at Olton Golf Club. Peter Hayward will be giving a talk on the work of the Air Ambulance Service. We invite member and guests not to arrive before 7pm for 7.30pm sit down

Please ensure that online payments, or if used, booking forms and cheques reach Heather Day as soon as possible and no later than 10pm Tuesday 29th October.  Please contact Heather Day 07790947986 or Yvonne Joyce 07939141538 with any queries.



The Lapworth Ladies Supper Club met at Rowington Village Hall on Wednesday 6th September for their AGM. Approximately 40 existing members attended, and we were delighted to welcome 3 new guests. The existing committee were elected for another year by a unanimous vote. The members were given a summary of the audited accounts and a brief outline of what they could look forward to in the coming year’s programme.

There was plenty of time following the meeting for the ladies to socialise and catch up with old friends over drinks and nibbles.

The Lapworth Ladies Supper Club usually meet on the first Wednesday of every month between October and March at various local venues. There are 2 exceptions this year, due to the bank holiday and Christian calendar in January and March when we will meet on the 8th and 12th respectively. Each event costs £30 and includes a 2-course meal with coffee/tea and an after-dinner speaker. An annual subscription of £15 is also required.

The first event with supper and speaker, Dr Gillian White, will be on Wednesday 2nd October at Limes Country Lodge Hotel. All bookings must be made by Thursday 19th September, members are invited to bring along guests to each event and new members are always welcome. For further details please contact Yvonne Joyce 01564-783595.
