In normal circumstances TASS enjoys a lively social scene. Before each lecture coffee and tea are served and members gather to chat in the newly renovated Digby Hall. We also hold a New Members Party as well as a Christmas Party in the hall after the final lecture of each year in December.

In recent years we have instigated some new social events. A summer lunch is arranged for members at Leweston School during the May half-term. This is a wonderful event which takes place in the old manor house at Lewiston School.  Members are greeted in the reception room and hall on arrival, having the opportunity to see the Lalique staircase and the 1930’s frescoes by George Sheringham before going to a splendid buffet in the light and airy 18th century drawing room. After lunch members are invited to take a guided walk around the historic chapel and magnificent grounds of the school.

In December a Christmas party is arranged at The Grange at Oborne just outside Sherborne. Members are welcomed with a glass of prosecco before enjoying a fine three course meal. The Grange has a local reputation for fine cuisine and the Christmas dinner continues this reputation. It is not a stuffy affair. Each table is provided with crackers, streamers and whistles and members can really let their hair down.

With the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions we expect to be able to resume more normal social activities. Please note the dates below. Full details will follow.
