A small donation from the funds collected for the dinner will be made by the Caledonian Society to one of our members to help with on-going medical expenses following a serious road accident. This was agreed at our AGM. Should you wish to make a further contribution during the evening a box for additional donations will also be available.

Parking is not a problem getting there is!

The St. Andrew’s Grand Ball is open to members of the Society and invited guests. Admission will be by reservation only. Numbers are limited so please make your booking early. Cut-off date is Thursday 18^th November.

Only those whose subscriptions are up to date are entitled to the reduced rate offered to members. It will be possible to renew your 2005 membership at the Ball (at the rate of €10 per person) and therefore be entitled to the reduced rate for the Ball and other events during the year.

How to get there:

Look at the attached map and ………

The Circolo Montecitorio has a pedestrian entrance on Via dei Campi Sportivi 5. If you choose this entrance you will have to walk through the club’s lower gardens and tennis courts, climb a flight of steps to reach the main building.

If you choose to park inside the club’s premises you pass no. 5 on your right and continue 100-200m until you see a small unmarked road on your right (go slowly) turn up this and you will come to an entrance with a bar. If this is open drive in and park against the hedge, if it is closed please ring and the bar will be opened for you.

Please note that this bit of Via dei Campi Sportivi is a dual-carriageway (it has a concrete traffic divider in the middle) so you must be on the “right side” to access both the pedestrian entrance and the parking area.

If you are coming from Viale Parioli, along the Via dei Campi Sportivi, you will be on the “wrong side” so you must continue until the central concrete divider ends and make a u-turn at that point (please be careful) drive back about 500m.

If you come from Viale Parioli and take Viale della Moschea always bear left until you reach a traffic light. (If you do not do this you will reach the Mosque – although spiritual you’ll find no spirits!). At the traffic light turn left onto Via dei Campi Sportivi and you will be on the “right side” and will arrive within 500m. For those coming from the “Olimpica” or “Tangenziale” (depends what you like to call it) take the exit for Acqua Acetosa and this brings you directly onto Via dei Campi Sportivi follow this all the way (right at the traffic light) and you will be on the “right side”.

If you get lost don’t blame me!
