After the very sad news of Ron Steward’s death in late Dec, I’m pleased to say his funeral in January was extremely well attended by the Membership. It was a very moving service and several quotes about Ron from letters written by members to his widow Janet, were read out as part of his Eulogy. RIP Ron.
I hope those members and their guests who came to the Club’s Xmas Dinner at the Dorchester back in December with Jimmy Tarbuck, enjoyed the evening.
The good news is that we raised over £20,000 on the evening from the auction and raffle for our Charity Account, which is excellent. The bad news is that the event wasn’t as well supported by the membership as we would normally expect and the Club accordingly made an overall loss on the evening. This is clearly very disappointing and simply can’t happen again. Our International lunch back in November in Paris was also unfortunately not supported well by the membership and hence also made a financial loss. Your committee puts a lot of hard work into organising these events. If we are not getting it right, please let us know.
Moving forward 2012 is of course our Ruby Anniversary, since the Club’s inception and I’m delighted that this is going to coincide with our 50thbus handover before the AGM in June. We have the Provincial lunch coming up at Little Dudley House in Dorking on Monday 27th Feb. Please contact Dave Bowen if you are intending to attend this and haven’t done so already. A full schedule of the other planned Club events during 2012 as well as the date of our next scheduled bus handover, will be posted on the website very shortly.
I’m also delighted to welcome two new full members to the Club, Karen Thomas & Tony Jamieson. Extracts from their respective CV’s will be circulated to the membership shortly.
If any members are heading out to Cannes for the MIPIM Conference in March, I’d be pleased to catch up with you out there.
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing many of you in a couple of weeks in Dorking for the Provincial Club lunch.
We are pleased to release the details for the next club lunch that is being held at Little Dudley house, Dorking on Monday 27th February. You may recall that we went to this venue for a regional lunch 2 years ago and we were very well looked after. They also donated some prizes at the Christmas Dinner and in light of this we were keen to support them again.
For the first time we can confirm that members/members in waiting will be able to bring a guest. We look forward to receiving your bookings and getting the year off to a great start!
Please see events page for further details and forms.
It is with very great sadness that I have to inform the membership of the death of Ron Steward, following a heart attack on Friday 30th December 2011. Ron was a much-loved Gentleman and tireless supporter of the 100 Property Club for many years, he will be sorely missed. Our sympathies and condolences are with Ron’s family at this very sad time.
If anyone would like to drop Ron’s Widow Janet a personal note please let me know, and I’ll let you have her contact details.
The 100 club celebrated Christmas in style at The Dorchester Hotel on London’s Park Lane last week. Along with the fine wine and food there was some serious fund raising taking place.
The evening started with the traditional champagne reception followed by a fantastic three course dinner in the Dorchester’s famously beautiful ballroom. Whilst the meal was proceeding our ‘Red Devils’ stalked the room encouraging entries to the raffle and the big cash draw.
Following coffee, we had none other than Jimmy Tarbuck regale us with his famous quick wit and personal anecdotes. This included the real definition of SAGA, Eric Morecombe refusing a one armed man entry to his show on account that he couldn’t clap, and finally Tommy Cooper famously asking the Queen if he could have her cup final tickets once she’d told him that she didn’t really like football!
The evening then got serious with the ever present Chris Mills of CBRE conducting one of the club’s best auctions yet. The holiday in Antigua, the cooking experience in France, the sailing days and the other lots were devoured by the room!
Special thanks go to Ian Oswin of Curchods for pledging the big cash draw winnings back into the pot, to our photographer Sarah Payne who kindly donated her services on the evening, and to all the sponsors who contributed to making the evening such a success.
Whether it be the big cash draw, the raffle or the auction, the members’ and guests’ response was fantastic. This culminated in a total of over £21,700 being raised for charity and ensures that bus number 51 is on the production line!
Festivities continued into the night when we were able to catch up with a committee member.
Adelle Peattie, Charity Officer, said “It was great to see so many familiar faces at this year’s dinner and I am blown away with what we have been able to achieve for charity. Considering the tough times we are all still experiencing, we have had a great evening. I would like to make special mention of fellow committee member, Sally Fish of PIH, who is responsible for organising the dinner. As always, Sally has done a great job in pulling everything together. Finally, I would encourage the members to get involved with more 100 club events for our Ruby Year.”
The staff and pupils of Waterloo School cap off a fantastic year for The 100 Property Club!
On the 15 December 2011 members of The 100 Property Club gathered at Waterloo School in Hampshire to hand over the 48th minibus, in conjunction with the Lady Taverners. After tea and mince pies and an inspirational tour of the school, the pupils braved the cold to celebrate their new school bus. Actor James Smith (from “In the Thick of it”) was in attendance to add some glamour to the event!
After a short speech from Mike Peskin, it was left to the children to sing for their bus! They did a great job with “We wish you a merry Christmas!” With the dinner so fresh in the mind, it was a pleasure to see such tangible benefits for all the hard work over 2011.
Happy Christmas to all those associated with The 100 Property Club; your committee looks forward to seeing you in the new year for our Ruby Celebrations!
This years Christmas dinner on the 6th December is going to the best yet and there are still a few places remaining!
Sally, Adelle and the committee thought you might like to have a sneak preview of a very unique prize to be auctioned at the dinner on 6th December.
Like cooking? Love France? Need a holiday? Then this one is for you! A truly sumptuous experience in the heart of the Dordogne.
A Titanic Prize!
A five day/five night cooking holiday for two people culminating in one of our Famous Last Suppers events celebrating the centenary of the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic
We are also going to be auctioning a luxury holiday for four people to Antigua, which our very own Dave Bowen can vouch for as he bid for this last year and had the most amazing holiday in August.
There is also a shooting day, a power boat day and a chance of a photography session with a celebrity photographer. On top of this we have a magnificent array of raffle prizes, including a night out at the ballet and a brand new i-pad 2.
The dinner is always a fantastic, fun evening. With your help, it can bring a smile to some needy children too. We look forward to seeing you on 6th December.
We are delighted to announce the details of the 48th 100 Property Club bus handover.
The details of this event can be found on the events page. You can also download the flyer here. The bus handovers are a fantastic chance to experience first hand, the results of the clubs fundraising efforts! If you are able to attend please contact Adelle.
The100 Property Club made its latest donation to the Lady Taveners at their annual ball in the newly refurbished Savoy Hotel.
Through the club's fundraising efforts of the last year we were able to make a £30,000 towards two new speacially adapted minibuses. These buses will be presented either side of Christamas, details of which will appear on this website shortly.
The Lady Taverners is a vital and dedicated fundraising arm of The Lord's Taverners. Founded in 1987, it has since raised over £6 million. The Lord's Taverners is famous for its charitable giving to cricket but the Lady Taverners focus their fundraising on specially adapted minibuses and sport and recreation for young people with special needs.
Hot on the heels of the December dinner announcement yet another stalwart of the 100 club calendar has been be revealed. Yes, it's time to dust off the passports and prepare for the early start from St Pancras, to lunch in Paris.
The full details and also some menu choices are contained within the events page.
A new venue has been selected for this year’s escapade, Brasserie Julien.
If you would like to attend make a note of the date and visit the events page for all the details!
100 Property Club reveals plans for December Dinner
The 100 Club are delighted to announce the details of the forthcoming Christmas dinner. As well as the excellent dinner at The Dorchester on Park Lane, the big cash draw and the charity auction, this year’s Guest of Honour and Speaker will be none other than Jimmy Tarbuck.
Jimmy Tarbuck OBE, known affectionately as 'Tarby’, is one of Britain's favorite comics and has a TV career spanning over forty years, although these days he is just as likely to be found on the golf course as entertaining audiences with his quick wit and charismatic personality.
We do hope that you will be able to attend the evening and, if you are able to, please support the Club and our fundraising efforts by providing Sponsorship or a Raffle or Auction prize. Any contribution that you are able to make will be very much appreciated.
To reserve your table or individual places, please visit the events page to download the booking form. If you are able to offer sponsorship, there is a list of items and a form also on the events page. In the event that you can offer an auction or raffle prize, please contact Adelle Peattie at

There is an opportunity to sail two Beneteau 40.7’s yachts which are based at Ocean Village, Southampton, from where the cruise will start.

The 100 Property Club got the year off to a great start with the first Club lunch, held at the Intercontinental Hotel on Park Lane in London.
The Cookbook Cafe www.cookbookcafe.co.uk and it's Head Chef, Paul Bates, served up a beautiful 6 course tasting menu, together with wines chosen to complement each course. Particular highlights included the scallop and crab pojarski and the warm almond tart. The staff and decor added to the overall excellent dining experience.
In fact, the only time that the friendly atmosphere of the cafe was disturbed was when a committee member collected fines from members who were not sporting Club attire!
Mike Peskin (100 Property Club Chairman) commented;
"this is just the start to the year that we need - a fantastically well attended lunch, in great surroundings".
David Bowen, who organised the lunch, added;
" I have received excellent feedback from many of the members in attendance who enjoyed it so much, they have requested we go back again next year. This has certainly set the standard for future events.We hope to keep things fresh with a mixture of technical tours, social lunches and sporting occasions over the next 12 months. I would also like to remind members that I look forward to seeing them at the next event, which is on 11th April 2011, at a location outside London which will be confirmed shortly".
