| The Clubhouse BAR |
You'll certainly enjoy our great value drinks in the welcoming surroundings of our clubhouse.
For club evenings, matches, roll-ups and social events our club bar always provides a welcoming retreat.
Staffed by volunteer club members it is the bar where there is always a smiling face whether
you have won or lost. Prices are kept as low as possible - certainly compared with outside prices.
... We believe this helps to make the pleasure twice that to be found anywhere else! |

| BRIDGE |
A friendly evening of rubber bridge once a week during the close-season.
'Bridge is played by 4 players who form two partnerships; the partners sit opposite each other at a table.
The game consists of the auction (called bidding) and play, after which the hand is scored.
The bidding ends with a contract, which is a declaration by one partnership that their side will take at
least a stated number of tricks, with a specified suit as trumps or without trumps.
The rules of play are similar to other trick-taking games, with addition of the feature that one
player's hand is displayed face up on the table as the "dummy".' |

| BARBECUE |
Beyond being able to say that "barbecue" is a European word, no one really knows the true
origins of the word.
In attempting to spell a Taino Indian word for their method of cooking, the Spanish came up with
"barbacoa". The French have a saying "barbe a queue" which means "whiskers to tail", and roast mutton in Romanian is
translated as "barbec".
Pick whichever suits you best ... & enjoy it with us! |
"The key to good barbecuing is having a sauce that can cover up your mistakes." |
7.30p.m.
Tuesdays
From the end
of April
to September. |
