CLUB ACTIVITIES

Regular entertainment is provided within the club, as you will see from the diary of forthcoming events.  Keep your eyes on the notice boards for additional events that have not yet been scheduled.  As you can see there is a mix of free entertainment in the bar, major functions upstairs with food and live acts, charity functions, and speciality food evenings provided by our chef.  When we charge for the functions, tickets are available from the bar, usually two to three weeks beforehand.  If you are planning to go to any of these functions,  Please buy your tickets early to avoid disappointment and so that we know the numbers to cater for.  We hope we are providing a good mix of entertainment that should appeal to all members, but if you have any ideas for functions please do not hesitate to contact the Entertainments Chairman or place a suggestion in the suggestion box.
In addition to our programme of Entertainments, which is detailed separately, we have regular activities in the bar which are listed below

Poker Competition

Held on the last Thursday of every month.

Any non-players who would like to learn to play crib, we will be taking a break from league games between 12th Dec to 2nd January. Please come along on a Monday between 8.00pm & 9.30pm where we will be pleased to teach the game.



 
Darts League


 

The club play in The Waddon & District Darts League. & VB Trophies Summer League
Happy Hour

All drinks at half price. This is currently on a Friday between 8pm and 9pm and one other day which varies every week so keep your eyes on the notice boards or these web pages.
 
Projection TV

We have a projection TV, which is located in the Derek Walker Room.  This is available to members at most times.  For large sporting events, the upstairs bar will be open, and food will be available. A  wide screen TV is available in the lounge for smaller events or when the DW room is in use.
 
Quizzes

These take place every Thursday and Sunday at around 9:15pm.  We try to keep them fairly informal. The format is teams of up to 4 players with £1 per person entry.  There are 30 questions and it usually takes about an hour.  The winners receive 4 drinks vouchers.  Don't despair if you are not a quiz expert or can't get a full team as your score goes into a “snowball” raffle.  This is drawn at the end of the quiz. If your score comes up you win whatever is in the snowball that week. If there are no winners the snowball rolls over, and can therefore be considerably more than the prize for actually winning.  If you're interested in quizzes, just be in the bar on Thursday or Sunday evening around 9pm when the quizmaster for the evening will come round with the entry sheets.
 
Monthly Prize Draw

This is drawn on the last Saturday evening of each month.  Tickets are available from the bar throughout the month or a standing order form for this is available from the bar.  There is no need to be present in the club when the draw takes place as we give you plenty of time to check your numbers and claim your prizes.  If you've bought your tickets by standing order we check them for you and tell you when you've won. The prizes for the month are advertised prominently on the notice boards, as well as on this web site and are always tremendous.  Some recent examples are.
