The Ladies Night is at the Village Hotel Maidstone — closer and easier to reach than Tovil, which many of our members already travel to for meetings.

• By car: leave the M20 at Junction 6 and follow the signs for Aylesford North / Forstal Road. The hotel is about 100 metres past the roundabout, on the left. For sat nav, use ME14 3AQ. Parking is included for all gala guests.
• By train: trains run to Maidstone, with a short taxi ride from the station

Yes — and we'd recommend it. The hotel has given us discounted room rates, so you can make a night of it rather than worrying about the drive home. Everything is under one roof: dinner, entertainment, bar and your room.

Please book rooms directly with the venue using our special code (Given when purchasing Dinner tickets).

As usual for this type of function, the dresss code is FORMAL WEAR. The evening will be Blues Brothers themed so hats and shades are very welcome!

All funds raised this year go to two worthy causes:

• Young Epilepsy — supporting children and young people living with epilepsy
• Young Lives Foundation — a Kent-based charity supporting vulnerable young people through advocacy, mentoring and activity programmes

Both charities will be represented on the night, and every penny raised goes to them.

Absolutely — when booking feel free to add additional guests, you'll be asked for their name, menu choices, and special requirements.

Yes. We'll be taking photos and short videos for the lodge's social media and to thank our sponsors. If you'd rather not appear in them, just let us know on the night and we'll make sure you're not included.

Professional couples' photos: we're planning to have a photographer on site taking formal portraits of couples and groups during the evening. Photos will be printed on the spot for a small fee, so you can take home a keepsake of the night.

Not at all. The Ladies Night is a social evening and everyone is welcome: partners, family, friends and colleagues. There are a few short traditional toasts and a thank-you to the ladies, but nothing you need to know or do in advance. Just come and enjoy the night.

Guests booked together in one booking will be seated together wherever possible. If you'd also like to be near another group, add a note when you book and we'll do our best to arrange it.

Please bear in mind that with table sizes and numbers to balance, we can't guarantee every request, but we'll always try.
