We can now confirm that the 90th Anniversary Dinner and Dance event has been booked for Saturday 23rd September 2017.- The Venue is: The Village Inn Hotel, The Green Business Park, Stratford Road, Shirley, Solihull, B90 4JG. Phone: 0121 796 9670
- Start time is around 6.30pm for a 7pm till midnight blast.
- We have hired a private function room with an adjoining private bar area.
- We will have an MC – DJ who will provide the music and entertainment.
- The cost of £40 per person will include a three course dinner followed by cheese and biscuits and coffee/teas – it is a set meal and the fixed menu is yet to be decided but there will be a vegetarian option so you may wish to let us know if this is a requirement in due course.
- We are aiming to provide three bottles of wine per table included in the price, probably a red, a white and a prosecco.Extra wine can be purchased from the bar at your own cost. The bar costs are quite reasonable for a hotel around £4.00 (ish) per pint, but additional bottles of wine will be around the £18 mark.
- We are looking at an attendance of 120+ people, seated at large circular dining tables with 10/12 people per table – if attendees want to sit in particular groups please make this known to us when you buy your tickets.
- The event is just under six months away, however you may wish to take advantage of a reduced hotel room cost by booking rooms early.
- Currently the average price for a room on Saturday evenings is approx £99 plus breakfast – with use of our promo code (see below) you can get a standard double or twin room for £81.60 including breakfast or £66.60 without.
- It will be much easier if you book your own rooms, be aware that the above prices are on a non-refundable basis, so you may wish to make your own choices.
- The hotel has a fabulous gym and swimming pool area which you can make use of. A large free car park is also available.
