The Club in Winter

Pavilion in Winter

The Club enjoys a number of social activities during the winter months, as listed below

Charity Quiz Night

The Quiz night held in aid of SLA was very successful and raised the fantastic total of £ 542 including donations. Despite strong opposition the Presidential Plonkers team of Bruce and Ruth Waitt, John and Rosalind Thompson, Val Dunn and Margaret Baxendine were worthy winners and narrowly beat The Countdowners. The organisers are grateful to the Club Committee for allowing us to use the facilities of the club.

Winter Talks’ Programme

The Club Committee feels that a break from History is required and that for this year we should offer a programme of illustrated talks from Club members on the theme of ‘Travel’. Many of our members are far-travelled and have visited exotic places around the globe. We are lucky that six of our members have volunteered to give an illustrated talk on their travels on the five dates below. Refreshments will be available from 2.00pm with the presentation starting at 2.30. For each talk, there will be a charge of £5 which will include tea/coffee and biscuits with all proceeds going to Club funds.

Bowlers and Strollers

Bowlers & Strollers

The Strollers are a very informal group of members who meet at three-week intervals to walk not more than 4 miles (mostly less!) and then enjoy a pub lunch together. The object is gentle exercise, companionship and fun. New Strollers will be very welcome - no need to register, just turn up. If you feel more energetic and want to walk more than 4 miles, why not organise a complementary walk and join the rest of us for lunch?
