My 8th Newsletter to you & the last of this year, I would like to wish every club member the very best of the festive season to you & yours & hope that the new year brings you all joy, health & happiness.
I’d like to thank all the committee, those members who assist us in putting on events & to you for your support by your attendance. Without this, we would not be the club that we are. The waiting list to join is ever growing & is testament to our standing as a family friendly sports & social club.
The values we hold are special in this club, treating others as we would wish to be treated is a common thread. Respect to young & old while understanding each & everyone needs is part of who we are. Please continue this theme to allow harmony for all.
The new chairs have arrived which is a welcomed refresh for the club, hopefully the blinds will be finished soon to complement the upgrade. I think the look is great so well-done team.
What’s been going on
The 24hr Darts marathon in aid of Ickle Pickles & the Young Carers was completed with some very tired club members. There is still time for you to donate as there is a collection bucket in the club and also via; -

The Sunday lunch on 3rd Dec was once again a roaring success. Thanks again to our catering team on the day, consisting of Steve, Lyn, Sheils, Janine, Phil & the waitresses Millie & Lilly.
Kids Xmas Party was warmly greeted by all those who attended. A big thank you goes to Louise & Jo (& teamsters) for the fantastic Grotto & for John W for giving up his time again, not forgetting all those who offered help on the day.
Christmas Dinner Dance was at capacity for the 16th. Once again Wrights Caterers did not let us down & luckily the singer Beth carried on like a trouper despite being under the weather, she was backed up by “DJ Smashie” (aka Chris J). The ladies attending looked lovely as usual (what a treat for us guys), while the lads did dress to impress (thanks chaps). It was a great evening, made all the better for the positivity that you all brought to the evening, this absolutely made the evening. Thank you everyone for attending😊 Special praise goes all those assisting in setting up & clearing up for this event, you know who you are.
