A sample to get the taste buds buzzing!
Halloween
Saturday 28th October 2017 @ 1 – 4pm ish Fun Day via Ticket only
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 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 £2.00 + zombie membership to the grave yard clan can’t be bad.

Well it’s here what every child has been waiting for and that’s included a few adult members that I know off.

Well it’s a little early for Rudolph as he is piling on the calories ready for Christmas Eve however I understand Father Christmas is calling in later should he be able to start his moped.

We have been lucky again this year that Father Christmas has lent us some of his elves that are busy in the kitchen putting together all those Hot Dogs for those hungry faces, let’s hope they are free as well. We don’t know when he is due to arrive but he has been known in the past to Have with him Selection box’s and party bags for all fans with the secret coded ticket, Fantastic.

New Year’s Eve
Sunday 31st December 2017 @ 7.30pm – Finish
Well the kids are in bed (you should be so lucky!) the babysitter is sorted (There goes my holiday funds!) let the party begin!!!
New Year’s Eve is The Railway Sport and Social clubs only adult family event of our yearly social calendar. The night is a fully paid up members only evening ( Members guests are allowed for £15.00 per ticket per person after and only after all members who wish to attend have been given priority seating) on a first come first serve advanced seat booking service which normally costs a miniscule £5.00 and is well known for booking up very quickly. Seats can only be booked when the table plan is put up in the Green Ayre suite at date of the secretary’s discretion. No advance bookings are taken before this date “Sorry”.
The night starts to buzz with your table welcome pack, followed by Bingo throughout the evening and LIVE entertainment all way up to midnight with Background music when necessary and that great social interaction that we are all so well noted for.
Raffles are run throughout the night to raise funds for various club projects with the great Members yearly Draw and prizes (who’s going to win the round the world cruise this year then!).
The event is well known amongst members as a Jacob joint evening (I was thinking of a smoked salmon fountain with lobsters cascading down the side from an Ice carving of a Mermaid, thoughts? ok sandwiches it is, yet again). To soak up that extra champagne I presume or it took them that long to get ready they missed their Dinner.
As the Clock approaches midnight the room becomes an open room to our members from the castle bar who are invited in to bring in the New Year with their fellow members.
We would like to take this opportunity to say HAPPY NEW TO YOU ALL. Here’s hoping you have a safe and healthy 2018 from your clubs committee, Stewards and staff.
