Social Events
The social aspect of the club is extremely important and it’s lovely to see the thriving Bridge Society in deep concentration on Tuesday nights as well as the large contingent of musicians who visit our club on a bi-weekly basis for the ‘ukulele nights’.
Lady Captain Lily and House Member Nicole Spence and Michelle Boyd (Nit & Natters) took part in the Cold-Water Dip on Saturday 4th February, World Cancer Day. The Event was supporting Young Lives Vs Cancer well done to all who braved the icy water.
February also saw the very successful Wine & Nibbles event organised by our Lady Captain Lily that brought a great vibe to the club for an early midweek night in February as the large crowd in attendance sampled a range of wines presented by Darren from JN Wines and our own Head Barman, Neil.
