Bookings open for Scottish dinner

UK: The organisers of the Institute of Refrigeration’s Scottish Dinner have already released details of this year’s event and are advising early bookings.

The advice comes after last year’s record-breaking event, attracting nearly 500 guests to the Crowne Plaza, Glasgow, sold out within just five weeks. 

The highlight of the IoR Scotland calendar, this year’s event will return to the Crowne Plaza on Thursday, October 22. 

The host for this year’s event will be radio presenter Gina McKie. Scottish football journalist and radio presenter Tam Cowan will be the after-dinner speaker.

Tickets are priced at £85.00 inc VAT.
