Children in Need  Sim Pairs

On Monday 9th and Friday 13th November the club will be taking part in the 'Children in Need' fund raising events. The cost to members wishing to take part on either date will be £5, which includes a donation of at  least £3 per player to Children in Need. We hope that members will support these charity sessions. At the face to face session on Monday there will be a box to collect any additional donations members might wish to make. 

Christmas Lunch at La Flambe

We are looking forward to the Christmas lunch at La Flambe on Wednesday 9th December. 

The cost of lunch is £32.50 for 2-courses and £39-50 for 3-courses.

However, if over the past six months you have played in at least 15 sessions, on any playing platform, you will receive a £20 subsidy.

The menu is shown below.  Please email your choices to sheilaprentice9@gmail.com by 13th November.  At this stage it is members only but we will review this after 13th November and see if we can open it up to partners.
