PB Lunch Club
Next Lunch: Friday 21 February 2025
The PB Lunch Club is an exclusive dining club set up to raise funds for Action Medical Research.
The club meets four times a year for lunch at the Delta Hotels by Marriot, Peterborough, to enjoy good food and interesting speakers, some well-known and others not! Occasionally there are special evening events.
Why the PB Lunch Club?
Paddington Bear is the charity mascot and Action Medical Research is the only charity to be granted that privilege by the late Michael Bond, creator of Paddington Bear and author of the Paddington Bear books. Michael’s daughter, Karen Jankel, has kindly agreed to be the Club’s Patron.
