Music provided inside and out is by our geniuses DJ with a choice of modern classics or chart toppers. Raffles are run through the afternoon to raise funds for various club teams with great prizes your support is vital and very much appreciated.
Games normally follow and have been known to be inside and outside (Weather permitting) with both children as well as adults competing. Prizes to be won or lost!
And now that we have all gained an appetite the BBQ is fired up with burgers & onions (weather permitting) or Hot Dogs from the kitchen to keep us all going. There is normally a small charge for these to cover costs.
From the Committee have a safe and great day.
Halloween
Saturday & Sunday October 2023 @ 1pm-4pm TBC
Open to Members children, grandchildren & great grandchildren
Well it always goes bump in the night at the club on this misty dark moonlight sky as the flesh eating bats come out of the rafters and the witches and zombies take over on this special and very popular event of the year for our younger gremlins. There is also a potion served across the bar should you be brave enough, careful the witches are brewing.
Fancy dress is the order for the event with prizes to be won and those pumpkins that have seen so much work invested in them over the past couple of days are also up for judging by the big bad wizard or the crackling old witches.
All this scaring, especially after the nasty wizard of the DJ table Batty Barney has been playing his spell inflicted games and music to trap his victims can give one hunger. So the witches stir there cauldrons to produce the succulent hot dogs in which to capture their little wizards and witches for their tasty meal later with the odd zombie in which to pick their teeth with to remove those tiny bones after.
Those crackling old witches have also been known to make those sticky toffee apples that send you to sleep and that secret toffee recipe that stops you talking, run little ones run. All this fear for Free this year as long as names are placed on the notice board in the club house for the first 60 to gain access to the grave yard party, can’t be bad.
