The club and bar (note card payments only) will open at 19:00 hrs and from 19:30 hrs, Supper will be served, catered by our fantastic in-house “Pancakes R’Us” crew! A choice of different One Pot dishes, namely:
- Fish Pie

- And then the Music Quiz ..... We promise it will be like no other Music Quiz that you will ever have taken part in before!! Music by Nigel; Front of House, Fun and Games and Party Time courtesy of Paul. There might even be prizes!!

All of this for the exceptional price of £12.50 per person! If you want to eat, it is essential that you register in advance and pre-pay by Tuesday, 10th November, so we know how much food to buy and prepare.

Booking/Registration is via the website ONLY. For couples, just one member need register and give the 'number of meals' as 2, and provide both names. Your menu choice(s) must be advised during the booking process.

Pre-payment of £12.50 per person, (£25.00 per couple), must be made to the Club Bank Account quoting your name as reference. Bank details here
