Hi Everyone

The annual TBYC Summer Ball is fast approaching on June 4th and I am looking for some willing and budding volunteers to help set up the balcony awning, matting and tables on the evening of June 3rd (Friday). Also if anyone is available for a hour or so during the day of June 4th to help move the dance floor carpet and tables about that would be fantastic.

All help greatly received and appreciated!

For one day only the main bar and balcony will be closed on June 4th for the ball. The Commodores bar will be open and Gary will be open with a limited menu during that day.

If anyone is available to help on either Friday or Saturday please can you let me know.

Many thanks in advance!!

Back by popular demand after last year is the Easter Hog Roast on Sunday April 24th. Tickets cost £12 for adults and £10 for children and include hog roast and all the trimmings and DJ. Last year over 250 people attended the Easter hog roast so get your tickets quick and be sure not to miss out!

Then we have the Red, White and Blue back to the 80’s Royal Wedding Party on April 29th. It’s 30 years since some members saw Charles and Diana get married and now the next generation can enjoy their own royal wedding with Wills and Kate and celebrate in true TBYC style! Tickets cost £12 for adults and £10 for children and include full buffet and DJ from DNA Discos. This will be THE party of the year so get you tickets now and be sure not to miss it!

We have a special discount for these two events. If tickets are bought for both events at the same time the buyer will receive a £4 discount which means adult tickets will be £10 each and child tickets £8.
