Dear Member,

I am extremely excited to announce a new event for the Club – one which is going to delight and mystify Members and guests!

On Saturday 17th February, the Club is teaming up with professional entertainment squad, Right Here Productions, to bring you an immersive evening of mayhem, mystery, and murder – all happening in our very own Club (and I’m not talking about our monthly Committee meetings!).

Which crafty team of Members will be first to crack the case and win the grand prize?!

Bring along friends, family and colleagues for a fun Club Night with a devilish difference. Join us for a fortifying Club Supper during which there will be chills, thrills, and interactive investigations with a colourful cast of characters brought to us by the fantastic team at Right Here Productions.

Testimonial

The events we held in partnership with Right Here Productions were always a hoot – undoubtedly the most compelling and memorable events in the calendar!

We look forward to the most romantic month in the Club’s calendar! On Friday 9th February, the Club will be hosting its famous St Valentine’s Supper with a menu specially designed for couples and live piano music by local pianist and great friend of the Club, Hazel Mair.

Members are invited to book a table at any time between 6.00pm and 8.00pm on Friday 9th February. On arrival, Members and their extra-special guests will enjoy a glass of L’amour en Violette – a tried and trusted in-house combination of sparkling wine, Crème de Violette, and Ginger of the Indies (or just a glass of Prosecco if you prefer!). Thereafter, Members and guests will be seated at a time of their choosing in the Dining Room (which will be specially decorated and adorned to fit the romantic mood) to enjoy a superb meal. Professional pianist Hazel Mair will perform a discreet, romantic recital throughout the evening.

The following delicious menu – specially designed for couples – will be offered. Please note that all dietary requirements can be met with sympathetic substitutions on request – just ask.
