August Newsletter
Published on
THE WINCHESTER CLUB August Newsletter 2022
Nothing earth shattering this month, which I suppose is a good thing! Overall the Club is going well with Bar takings and the hire of the Hall/ Rooms doing well. Saturday nights are still not well attended and we need to see more Members using the Club.
I know its boring BUT the sooner you all use your Club Card, the sooner I will stop harping on about it. So PLEASE use it. It will help us!!!
Don’t forget the QUIZ NIGHT on Wednesday the 17th of August!
DANCE CLASSES...We are trying to find someone to provide dance lessons. Probably on a Friday night. However we need to know how many people would be interested. There would be a charge for each session payable to the person teaching. So if you are interested could you let me know please. A little note with my name, your name and Club number will suffice, if you put it in the Members suggestion box that would be great!
SUMMER BALL TICKETS will be on Sale from behind the Bar as from today. Come and join us you won’t regret it.

Please, please drop me a note to tell me what you want on a Saturday Night. Music but what sort of music! Comedy, Singalong, Disco, Race Nights, Skittles Evenings, A French Evening with a Swing/Jazz Singer.

Our Late Summer Ball Tickets are on sale now behind the Bar and the brilliant duo 2 Shae will be our guest singers. Mike and Fiona will be providing our Buffet so it should be a good evening.
Halloween Fright Night will see a local group as our guests. If anyone has seen Madison Heights then they will be familiar with a couple from the group Stax of Soul. So pencil it in......
