Soups to Suspenders!

Tuesday 14th January 2025, 7.30pm, Lubenham Village Hall

We are looking forward to discovering more about the fascinating story of the Symington Brothers, William and James from Scotland, who settled in Market Harborough and founded two very different but successful and world-renowned business enterprises. A warm New Year welcome to Mike Stroud, who returns to stir our taste buds and improve our shape, if it needs it!

£1.50 Members, 3.50 non-members. 

Membership Fees

You will be pleased to note that Membership fees will remain as last year – £15 pp with reduced entry fee to meetings of £1.50.  You can renew your membership at any LHG meeting or contact our Treasurer Pat Dyke.

Please note: as the bank is now charging 50p to process a cheque, it would be appreciated if you could renew your membership by paying CASH. Thank you.
