With great excitement, I announce the details of our first Speaker’s Supper following the summer break.

On Thursday 14th September, we are honoured to welcome the noted journalist Mr Richard Bath, editor of Scottish Field magazine and Cask & Still magazine, who will give an address to Members and guests on the subject of A Life in Publishing.

Members and guests are invited to join us for an arrival drink at 6.00pm. Supper will be served at 6.30pm, and we anticipate that Mr Bath will speak at 8.00pm approximately. 

Richard Bath has, for the past thirteen years, been the editor of the popular magazines Scottish Field and Cask & Still (a whisky magazine).

He is a journalist and editor who, for the past thirty-plus years, has written about sport (especially rugby), food, history, politics, field sports, and culture for newspapers ranging from the Sunday Times and Daily Telegraph to Scotland on Sunday and the Sunday Herald.

He has published eleven books, lives in Edinburgh, and remains a keen (if increasingly mediocre!) sportsman and a voracious reader.

In his address, Richard will reflect on his long career in journalism, his work with Scottish Field and Cask & Still – two of the most popular magazines in their fields – and the changing landscape of the journalism and the editing industry.

The Club is very fortunate to have the opportunity to hear from such an illustrious figure, and we are sincerely grateful to Mr Bath for volunteering his time to share his fascinating experiences.

The evening’s menu is as follows:

Scottish Game Terrine, Cornichons, Seasonal Leaves, Toasted Ciabatta

Braised Ox Cheeks, Horseradish Creamed Potatoes, Buttered Greens, Braising Liquor Jus
