Punch Club
The 2011 Punch Club meeting was organised by Bruce Montgomery at the Aviator Hotel, Farnborough (adjacent to the airport itself).
A Vulcan bomber landing during the annual Farnborough Air Show
Presentations included talks by a serving RAF helicopter pilot (largely on his experiences in Afghanistan) and from an Army anaesthetist (discussing the novel techniques now available for resuscitating soldiers with severe, battle-induced injuries).

Members and their partners spent the first afternoon at the RHS Garden Wisley, enjoying the immaculate garden layouts and purchasing fauna to enhance their gardens, balconies, allotments etc! You can view a selection of photos from Wisley (courtesy of Nigel Bullock) from the display below.

The club dinner took place in the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (see menu below) and post-prandial entertainment was provided by Graham Jolley - described as a "Psychological Entertainer" but perhaps better understood by the term "mind-reading magician". Several members of the club were persuaded out of their seats to participate in the mind-reading exercises, all of which proved astonishing and baffling, yet hugely entertaining!
