Changes to networking event in Canterbury – Meal and wine tasting

The social/networking evening with Canterbury Young Professionals proposed for Thursday 25 November has been changed to accommodate a Wine Master.


The event will now be held on Tuesday the 7 December from 18:00 at the Farmhouse. The event will include dinner and wine tasting. Each course will be accompanied by a hand picked wine, followed by some port and cheese.



There will be a small charge per person to cover the wines and food, we will of course keep this to a minimum and believe that it will be in the region of £20-25 (depending on numbers).


If you are interesting in attending the event please contact Deborah Farrant at df@burgesshodgson.co.uk
