First Sunday Roast Lunch a success
Good food and Good company
On Sunday 24.11.2019, the Club held its inaugural Sunday Roast Lunch and what a success it was !!!
Thanks to all the 65 who turned up to support the sell out event and who were not left disappointed in the slightest with the food kindly prepared by outside caterers, Mr. Chef, who provided an excellent service and a choice of three quality mains and two desserts.
A cross section of Members attended and had a great time.
A Reverse raffle was held as a novelty too and was well supported.
Thanks too, to Geoff for MC-ing the event, organizing it and arranging the tables and thanks to the bar staff as well.
A very good event to hold.
WELL DONE ALL and THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME ALONG TO SUPPORT THE EVENT
All prizes claimed on the night!
Phoenix 100 Club – November Social
The final bi-annual Phoenix 100 Club Social Event of the year was held at the Club on Friday 8th. November.
A hot food supper of either steak pie and vegs or lasagne with salad was provided by the Maitre D’, George and his kitchen staff, Joan and their new apprentice, Jill. There were also desserts and cheese and biscuits provided, along with a complimentary drink for those who attended and discounted drinks for the rest of the evening.
A huge thank you goes to the trio for preparing and presenting the food.
37 members attended the evening.
The bi-annual draws for the £100, £50 and £30 prizes were also made and drawn by Paddy Clewer.
The lucky winners were:
£100 – 32 – Dianne Slater (Lunn).
£50 – 92 – Sam Leach
£30 – 30 – Briony Smith (Ed’s daughter)
Sadly, Di who was always a regular attendee at the events had passed away earlier this year but her husband and fellow member, Dennis, was present and received her prize.
There are currently 73 members of the Phoenix 100 Club and the Club is very grateful to each and everyone of them for their support. A few more would be nice!
There are still 4 draws remaining in the Phoenix Club 100 year that runs annually from April to March, for the remaining monthly prizes of £30.
It is estimated that the Phoenix 100 Club will raise around £600 for the Club during its year 2019/20 .
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE PHOENIX 100 CLUB AND ARE PART OF IT.

The Club is very pleased to announce that it has successfully achieved its Clubmark Accreditation from the ECB, for the period 2019-2022.
