ANNUAL LUNCH APPROACHES FAST

There is one month to go and just a handful of places remain unclaimed for one of the season's biggest events away from the pitch, the Annual Lunch.
Now in its 16th year, the Lunch will once again be packed with former players sharing their memories with each other and fans alike. Appropriately, money raised at the event will go towards the Past Players' Trust and the Chelsea Foundation.
Last season 41 past players, covering five decades of football, joined 650 dining supporters plus Didier Drogba who represented the current generation and entertained the audience with a question and answer session.This season's event promises to match 12 months ago as one of the highlights in the Chelsea social calendar.Taking place on Friday 18 November, the Lunch begins with a VIP tour of Stamford Bridge before a drinks reception in the Great Hall.
A three-course meal will follow, with intermissions from Chelsea TV's Jonny Gould who will be hosting the afternoon.

There will be a silent auction of unique Chelsea memorabilia, a live auction hosted by the entertaining Gould and a raffle, plus more top-class entertainment.
All beer, wine and soft drinks are included in the ticket price of £140+VAT and tickets can be bought individually or in tables of 10 or 12.
