On Tuesday 27th January, we will be holding our annual Sassenach Burns Night celebration.

If you would like to join in the fun, tickets are available from behind the bar (or direct from Gaynor Thompson on a Tuesday evening) priced at a fantastic £9.50 per person for two courses:

Haggis or sausage
or vegetarian option
with turnips and potatoes (Neeps and Tatties!)

Followed by a choice of two desserts.

It is always a fantastic night, with all the traditions you would expect, and with our lovely new chef, Steve, in residence the meal is sure to be mouthwatering!

The Buffet is still being served.

Please phone Sara soon and arrange your tickets.

A wonderful evening was had by all last night, and thanks must go firstly to Scott and his team for a really delicious meal and seamless, military precision service.  Thanks to Lorraine for assisting Scott in the role of ‘Maitre D’ for the evening.

Lorraine and her bar staff worked so hard all night and never allowed a single queue to develop at the bar.  Again, fantastic service that was much appreciated – thank you!

I think everyone will agree that the entertainment was one of the best we’ve ever had at the Club and we will definitely be booking them to come back at some future date.

If you missed out on one of the best evenings in a long time at the Club, keep your eyes peeled over the next few months for details about our upcoming events, including the Adult Christmas Party, and how to buy your tickets.  We also have plenty of themed Friday night dining evenings to tempt you with, and of course over the summer we can use our lovely new balcony for some of these evenings.

I look forward to seeing you all at the next ‘do’!

Due to popular demand, we will be offering some ‘dancing only’ tickets for those unable to make the meal section of the evening who would still like to join in.

These will be priced at £12 each and can be purchased in advance or on the night (please use the published form and write ‘DANCING ONLY’ in the section to the right for dietary requirements) in the usual way (cash, card, cheque or balance transfer).

Dancing only ticket holders may arrive from 9.30 pm.

Following a couple of enquiries, I would like to confirm that the dress code is ‘smart’ rather than strictly ‘black tie’.  Lounge suits/blazers may be worn if preferred.

If you haven’t already purchased tickets and would like some, there are a few left.  Please let me know if you’re interested, if possible by Wednesday 11th June.

Sara Speller

Social Secretary

Tickets will be opened up to non-member friends of members with effect from tomorrow (Sunday 1st June).

There are some tickets still available, so please feel free to ask friends and family members if they would like to join your table for what is scheduled to be a really fun evening!

Please follow this link for more details about the entertainment and menu:  http://www.tbyc.org/social/summer-ball-2014/

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.

Tickets are open to members only until one week before (7th June), at which time should some tickets still be available you will be welcome to purchase them for non-member friends.

Any queries, please contact Sara Speller on 07799 892732.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have unfortunately had to cancel the Anniversary weekend fine dining dinner scheduled for Saturday 17th May.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
