Tuesday 30th ~ Its another of the very popular fortnightly Arts Group evening meeting.  Amazingly the calendar has allowed for a third ‘fortnightly’ Art Group meeting this month.

Moving into October:

Thursday 2nd ~ Golf Day at Surrey Downs Golf Club.  The day will consist of coffee and bacon rolls, followed by 18 holes of golf at a cost of £38-50p. There’s a poster on the board ready for your name.  Golfers ~ Please note that the EGM is due to take place back at the club on this evening.

Thursday 2nd ~ The EGM will start at 7pm.  As only Full, Honorary and Country Members can attend Club AGM Or EGM’s the Back Bar will be open for those who don’t come under these categories.  However, please note that the Bar will be closed for the duration of the EGM…so best get to the club early if you plan on having a drink whilst the meeting is on!

 Friday 3rd ~ It’s Quiz Night with the best Quiz Master imaginable ~ our Darren.  Teams can have any number of members…but bear in mind that a point is deducted for each team member.  Anita will be on hand to make sure you are well fed before the Quiz gets under at 7.30pm

Saturday 4th ~ Another of the great Race Nights is planned. Kicks off at 7pm. Definitely not to be missed as these Race Nights are always great fun.  Details will be on the board very soon. But I can tell you that Anita will be on hand to make sure you don’t go hungry!

Wednesday 8th ~ Chez Louise Fashion is coming back to the Club with Autumn and Winter fashions. 4pm-7pm in the Main Bar.  Ladies, one huge benefit of choosing clothes from Louise today is that at the club we can try our selected garments on.  (The Churchill Room will be our temporary changing room!)

Thursday 9th ~ Hollies Investment Club meeting, 7pm. Its at this point that the group discuss their current investments. At 8pm its usual for the Investment group to move into the Main Bar for Dinner, served by Anita. However, as Anita is away for a few days around this time, there’s to be a new, one-off plan. It may well be a Fish and Chip Supper.  More on this as time passes and there’ll be a poster on the board.

Saturday 11th ~ There’s to be a private group gathering in the Main Bar ~ tis a Football Re-union Group.

And a couple of dates of events that you really mustn’t miss in November:

Saturday 1st ~ Murder Mystery Evening…This time its ”Murder by Magic”.  Enjoy a meal whilst you solve the mystery. This is not something to miss as its going to be enormous fun if the last one is anything to go by.   There’s a poster on the board collecting names already and there are also leaflets scattered about which go into a little more details re  Lord David Coppertone’s invitation.  Each table should have a full complement of 8 players…7 of which will be attempting to work out who the murderer is, whilst the culprit will have to work hard trying to appear to be innocent!  The names of each invited guest are pre set…and are hilarious! There’s Hugh D Knee, Kristal Ball, Willie Wakeup, Clair Voyant, Louigi Board, Sheezar Ventriloquist, Roland Butter and Madj Ikal.  To get a full description of each of these characters to enable you to sort out your team/character, pop into the club and pick up a leaflet from the bar.

There will of course be an event to celebrate Remembrance Sunday…watch this space re the finer details.

Wednesday 26th November ~ Tis time once again for the 700 Club Lunch. There’ll be note on the board soon with names of all those who qualify.  (If you’re not on the list but think you’re very close, best get to the bar for an extra pint or two!)

Grand Draw News ~ On Friday 12th September the latest Grand Draw was drawn (not sure if that is good English!) and the 3 winners were announced,  bringing smiles to Julian, Laval and Wendy. It also upped the club renovation fund by £114.  The next set of Grand Draw tickets can now be purchased at the bar.  Tickets are £1 each and the date that the next draw will take place is Friday 12th December.

Sneaking just a tiny bit in re December ~ Plans for Christmas Day and New Year being finalised,  so watch out for notices arriving soon via email or WhatsApp.  However, the Pre-Christmas menu is now out and will be available from 1st ~ 24th December.  The menu is now on the notice board and advertised on our WhatsApp group. Booking is required.

And finally, some sad news that you may not be aware of is that Club members David Caddick, Christine Kemp, Tom Drake and Mike Waddilove passed away in August.  Each of these lovely people will be sadly missed and our thoughts go out to their families.

And now for a sneaky, un-official posting from me, Chris Dacey. It’s my birthday on Friday 10th October and I thought that rather than sit alone at home  I could pop into Club at 7pm and buy you a drink in celebration of all the years I’ve been on this earth.  Please join me if you have nothing better planned. And no…I’m not quite 80 yet!
