8:30 onwards – Casino Night! This is a professionally organised thing - you will all be provided with chips, there are 3 "real" gaming tables (in the bar/lounge area), and the target is to end the night with the most chips left.As a result, for those who have been before, there will be another bar seating area in the top section of the restaurant. This area is also the designated music area.
11:15 – Casino Night winner announced / awards.
Most importantly the suggested dress code for the Saturday night is "black tie" - i.e. tuxedo/bowtie for the gents, posh dresses for the ladies. This is not enforced, but you'll find most people will be dressed this way - as we did in October last year.
