It’s that time again!  The annual Summer Ball has been arranged and tickets are now on sale – on your marks, get set, go!!

I am delighted to announce that this year’s entertainment will be a slightly different arrangement.  We will start with Michael Buble, continue onto the Other Guys (Franki Valli & The Four Seasons tribute), and then conclude with a very good DJ who will play tunes to keep you dancing until the wee small hours.

To have a sneaky peak at our main entertainers, please go to the following link on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmdcQcvwWXc

As far as the menu, there is one option for each course (so no complicated menu choices!), unless someone in your party has a dietary requirement in which case you can indicate this on the ticket order form and a suitable alternative will be arranged.

Please see the attached poster for full details of menu and timings Summer Ball 2014 poster

Tickets can be purchased via the attached order form Summer Ball Order Form 2014, payment can be made in the usual way (cash or cheque in envelope with form, bank transfer with note to the Club Secretary, or card payment at the bar and receipt attached to form).  Please put your form into the club postbox marked for the attention of ‘Sara Speller – Summer Ball’.

Forms will be date stamped and tickets issued strictly in order of ‘first come first served’.  Please note that tickets cannot be reserved and will only be issued once payment is received.

You will have seen that in order to accommodate more sailors coming off the water who require a ‘post sailing’ snack, from this weekend Scott has very kindly added some items to his menu – pre-made baguettes or mug of soup and a roll. He will also be offering a quick, one-pot option for those who require something more substantial – this weekend it’s chilli and rice!

He will be taking orders prior to sailing (look out for an order form next to the sign-on/off sheets in the bosun’s hut in the next couple of weeks to save you some time) for those who require a quick turnaround, and your food will be ready when you return.

Please support Scott in his efforts to accommodate us!

As from this weekend there will be post sailing dishes such as mug of soup, pre ordered baguettes, and chilli and rice they will be advertised all will be cheap and cheerful.
