Hello Members
Wow!!!
What a great day the Fete was, close to £2K was raised. I would like to thank all those who attended to support the event and for all those members and friends who assisted prior, during and afterwards in clearing up. Without your support it wouldn’t have been the success it was, I am grateful for your continued efforts. The sun shone, the Italian Job entertained us, burgers sustained the hungry revellers, the bar was nearly overwhelmed by the thirsty and the dog show produced the best competitive spirit from the dogs and more importantly their owners. The Lord and Lady Mayor had a nice time despite efforts to make a quick getaway on Sam’s motorbike. The Fete committee should be congratulated for their sterling efforts once again, its seems to get better year on year, particular thanks to Paul Osborne, I can see a few more grey hairs have appeared which is not surprising due to the effort he has put in.
The new presidents night attendees were treated to a great evening by our resident DJ’s Smashie and Nicey (AKA Chris & John), thanks guys. The chilli went down well and fun was had by all.
What’s coming up;
Saturday 22nd July
Beach Party, Tickets going quickly, get yours before its sold out £4 for members & £7 for guests, Sonia and Rosie will be serving drinks at Cha Cha Charlies Cocktail Bar (they may get a little bit squiffy during the night, after all they do have to taste for quality control purposes J), please be gentle with them. Food will be a hot bap to finish the evening nicely, if you need a veggie one let me know prior to the night.
Saturday 29th July

Please book early for this usual sell out event.
The usual favourites are continuing in the month with “Our Lesley’s” Bingo on 7th Aug, Phil “the Tonsils” Dunk Karaoke every other Sunday. Don’t forget to check into the members run “Quiz” every Thursday; cash prizes for the lucky winners and of course the “Big Question”?
I intend to hold a meet the temporary members night in the near future, I would welcome all those temporary members to attend along with all standing members. Let’s support the newer people coming into the club, it’s an opportunity to meet the new, cement old friendships and make new friends. Look out for the date when agreed.
The guidelines for the watershed are still in place, parents are reminded to respect those members present by ensuring that children’s behaviour is in line with what is expected.
Thank you for those people wanting raffle tickets on a Friday night. It is pleasing that you have responded so positively by seeking out those selling tickets, allowing them to enjoy their evening as well. We will continue to sweep the club for those who want them in any case prior to the draw. J
Bar staff would greatly appreciate empty glasses being returned to the Bar. Anna and the team are doing a fantastic job so let’s help them help us!
