I am delighted to announce on behalf of your new Cadet Representative, Jeremy Sandford, that the Cadet Christmas Party tickets will be on sale from tomorrow, Wednesday 2nd Dec, from behind the bar priced once again at £5 each.

This year we are going to do something slightly different – the children will sit down at tables from 3.30pm for Christmas nibbles, crackers, party poppers, etc, and then at 4.30pm the disco and games entertainment will commence led as usual by the brilliant Tony Robinson of Groovy Disco.  The party will finish at 6.30pm.

We understand Santa Claus will be making his usual visit to see the children which is always a highlight!

Children are welcome to wear whatever they wish – the more festive the better.

We hope to see you there and that you have a wonderful time!

All of the following people have won prizes this year, please come to the prizegiving on Saturday 14th November to collect (or send somebody else) your hard earned prizes, you deserve them.

Prizegiving event starts at 7 pm. If you haven’t ordered food then it is unfortunately now not possible.
Anybody that hasn’t returned prizes from last year, please can you do so as soon as possible.

TBYC are proud to present:-

“Wildwood Jack”

Playing live Saturday 24^th October at 8.30pm

www.wildwoodjack.com

After a successful tour of Denmark in the summer & appearances at festivals up and down the UK, Thorpe Bay Yacht Club are delighted to welcome Wildwood Jack – Adam Piggott & Jayne Freeman – to Southend.

Melodic songs with guitar and ukulele fingerstyle sophistication drawing influences from folk, country and world music.

Wildwood Jack is the acoustic duo Adam Piggott and Jayne Freeman.  Touring on regular basis – as well as being featured on BBC local radio – they play all over the south east with frequent gigs in Aldeburgh.

Their sound is a harmonious blend of fingerstyle guitar and ukulele and has been described as a mix of Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Nanci Griffith and Ry Cooder. Memorable live shows can feature anything from traditional songs and tunes to a reworked punk classic or even Pink Floyds ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’.

Adam says “Everything we do is about maximising the sound and capabilities of the acoustic guitar and ukulele together when we play live. Our style has evolved from playing and experimenting over the years with a lot of influence from folk, country, blues and jazz”.

This is a TBYC-sponsored event – so come along with friends & enjoy what promises to be a very memorable evening of live music!

In light of the fact there is a rather important game for England this evening (!), the Rugby will be showing in the Commodore’s Bar.

We have therefore arranged for the Magic Show with Oliver Tabor to commence around 9.15-9.30pm to allow for this so that everyone can join in with the free members’ evening.

In addition, you will be able to order Tapas on a ‘walk-in’ basis from the hatch if you wish to have some food this evening but haven’t pre-booked.  Those who have pre-booked will be given priority for the dishes and the time they wish to have food.  Those who order on the evening will be served as soon as possible strictly on a first-come-first-served basis.

I look forward to seeing you there!
