Our annual Greek Evening takes place on Saturday 1 November in the Great Western Community Centre (corner of Great Western Road and Ashley Park Drive). This is our opening social event of the season and an opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
The doors will be open from 18.30 so that we can welcome families with young children as well as all our other members and guests. The evening will end around 22.00.
We will be serving a variety of Greek food, including souvlakia prepared by Spiros Varvatakos of Just Greek Aberdeen, along with wine and soft drinks. We will have vegetarian options available; please let me know before the event if you are vegetarian so that we can ensure that appropriate food is set aside for you on the night.
We will have a raffle for which contributions would be very welcome. We hope also to have a "Closest Coin to the Bottle" competition to win special bottles of whisky and gin; please bring pound coins with you to play.
We are very pleased that we will again have live music from Daniil Vasilikis and Foteini Komporozou. This will include a tribute to Mikis Theodorakis; Greece's Ministry of Culture has designated 2025 as The Year of Theodorakis to celebrate 100 years since his birth.
There is no charge for members who have already renewed their membership or who do so at the event. Society membership fees remain as £15 for adults; £5 for students; £1.50 for schoolchildren
Non-members attending the event are asked to pay £15 (students £10); school children will be £5 and there is no charge for under 5s. Guests are very welcome and I hope you will let your friends know about the event.
It is imperative that we know in advance the numbers attending (including those who are vegetarian) so that we can provide the right amount of food and meet the capacity requirements of the Centre. Please, therefore, let us know the names of those who will be attending the event (members and guests).
