Sam Lonie's Party
Sam Lonie reached forty and celebrated with a great party at the clubhouse. A tasty choice of Indian food was given to all the guests and the DJ played music to suit the party goers. It was ABBA mania all over again as Sam and her friends not only danced to tunes like Dancing Queen but also dressed the part as well. Not to be out done John Lone did his aircraft dancing while Bobo, Arkell and Jamie Walton did their version of the Cha Cha Slide. Chairman Tony Fitzgerald wowed the club with his Granddad style moves. Yet another enjoyable night at the Old Yards.

It is £40 for the season but goes up to £50 if you don't pay me by the end of September. Pay in instalments if you like, £5 or £10 per week - 8 others are already doing this.

- > In October we will see the return of "Name & Shame"
International Tickets
We still have two tickets left for the England vs. Australia game priced at £71 each plus the admin fee. Two club members have shown interest but are still undecided so the tickets are still available. First come first served - best to call me on 07766 443811 but not after 9pm.
Help continues to be needed to get the extension finished for the end of the season
Help is still required from 9am every Saturday to get things finished so please join Tony and Steve Price to lend them a hand.
