St David’s Day Dinner

It is time for members to start brushing up on their Welsh. The Club’s St David’s Dinner is now just a a month away on Thursday 27th February.

Some words to practice… Croeso which translates to welcome, the warmest of East India Club welcomes and Hwyl, think of the Irish Craic but with better singing!

As last year the Chairman will be asked to respond to the challenge of the Leek and we will be entertained by Phil Steele of BBC Scrum 5 fame and one of Wales’ leading public speakers. Born and bred in Ely, Cardiff, and a graduate in Physical Education from the famous Cardiff College of Education (now Cardiff Metropolitan University ), Phil Steele comes from a prominent sporting background having played 6 seasons for Newport RFC in the 1980`s and is now a prominent broadcaster on BBC Wales radio and T.V. His commentaries, reports and interviews for BBC Wales Sport are always infused with his trademark humour and good grace, and never fail to amuse as well as inform and as such have cemented his status as one of Wales’ most popular sports broadcasters.

Members may book up to 5 guests
