Dear Member,
March Lunch,
The Rutland Hotel,
1 – 3, Rutland Street,
Edinburgh
Friday, 20th March 2026 – 12.15 p.m.
===========
Our first Edinburgh visit of the year, takes us back to a venue we have not been at for some thirty years!
President Charles has arranged lunch, with Club wines, to be accompanied by whiskies from Holyrood Distillers.
Holyrood’s Brand Home Director, Jen Ryan has arranged for Rob Carpenter, Holyrood Co-Founder and Managing Director to speak to us about their products.
He has organised the “Noir Trilogie” as the drinks for the day.
The three whiskies are pictured above the menu on the reverse of this sheet.
Pay on the day or beforehand, along with your annual subscription, if appropriate. The subscription notice accompanies this circular if you are due to pay fees.
The menu and drinks details are on the reverse of this calling notice and all have been especially chosen for this day out in The Capital. The price is £70 per person, tremendous value for such a prestigious venue and fayre in the centre of The Capital!
When booking, please advise of any dietary restrictions, do not leave it until the day to avoid hunger!
A vegetarian / vegan option will be available on the day.
As always, gents - jacket + tie are mandatory.
Please let us know if you are not receiving the e-mail reminders about events.
Bookings for 2026 events are now being taken.
Please support as many Club events as possible. Don’t just “cherry pick” the favourite or favoured venues. The Committee put a lot of effort into arranging superb wines, spirits and meals, for every lunch.
You know you will enjoy all of the days with friends, colleagues and peers.
