Very cool! I would love to attend but I am not a member.

We're not members either, not sure about my sister. I posted this because if they still had two seats going begging (for Bob and me, as of yesterday) they might have a few more to fill with the rabble.

The info I posted came from a third-party website, anybody can find it by Googling, so perhaps not as closed/restricted as it might sound. Seems every time somebody shares pics from an event, somebody else says "wish I'd known about it!" so I thought I'd spread the word, albeit short notice.

Or did you enquire and get told members only? That would change things. . .

I was on the St Andrews Society website and based upon the high brow nature of their events made the assumption that they are members- or guests-of-members-only.

I could be wrong.

I will say that they are very much the black tie and dinner attire crowd; more affluent older folk.

Oh yes, we've been instructed that this is full-on formal Highland attire (although dinner will be served at 4:30 p.m., which some on this forum would say excludes it from the realm of evening-wear formality LOL). That said, as is typical of SoCal I fully expect to see a full range of kit. . . will never forget the black shirt emblazoned with very colorful NASCAR badges that one fellow paired with his trews at our "formal dress" clan dinner! And that wasn't a matter of "he didn't have any better," as I've seen him in all sorts of garments over the years.

Anyway, thanks for clarifying your "members only" post.
