Happy New Year

Yes 2017 is our 50th anniversary year and we are planning many surprises throughout the year . So do join us in our celebrations . We hope you like the new Diary format for the Club Programme for 2017 . All the events have now been loaded onto the Club website calendar which can also be easily downloaded into your Google Calendar from the website .
Restaurant Refurbishment
Our external events business performed well in 2016 , with much support and hard work by Tom and his team . This means that we can use the extra profits generated to sponsor a new project to refurbish the restaurant to help improve our member dining experience . Planning is at an advanced stage , so more
Rear Commodore House Tony Mobbs news next month .
Improved Bar Area
Following feedback from members we have increased the dining requirements for members and their dogs in the bar area . In addition , we have improved the atmosphere within the bar by introducing dimmable lighting and some standing lamps .
Socials Coming Up
