ABOUT THE EVENT

 

Join us for an unforgettable Military Dinner on Friday, October 17th, at The Royal Scots Club, dedicated to supporting Poppy Scotland.
This unique event is dedicated to raising awareness and vital funds for Poppy Scotland, a charity providing life-changing support to the Armed Forces community in Scotland – those who have served, those still serving, and their families. Raised funds will directly contribute to their essential work in providing advice, assistance, and funding for veterans and their families, addressing needs in areas such as employment, housing, mental health, and mobility.
Prepare for an evening of elegance and purpose, designed to captivate your senses:
  • A Handcrafted Culinary Journey: Indulge in a specially curated menu, promising a dining experience as refined as the occasion itself.
  • Enthralling Entertainment: Be moved by inspiring speakers and enjoy a programme of captivating music, creating an atmosphere of reflection and celebration.
  • Exclusive “Money-Can’t-Buy” Auction: Bid on extraordinary experiences and unique items that are truly unavailable elsewhere, knowing that every winning bid directly supports Poppy Scotland’s crucial mission.
  • The Grandeur of The Royal Scots Club: Held within the elegant surroundings of this renowned Edinburgh institution, the evening will offer a blend of tradition, comfort, and service that all our members know and live.
This is more than just a dinner; it’s an opportunity to show your gratitude and support for the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to our country. Join us for an evening of distinction and help us make a significant difference to the lives of Scotland’s Armed Forces community.
