We’ll be running our barbie on Sunday, to make sure you’re all sustained before and after the trauma of watching England try to make the group stages of the World Cup. Our chefs will be working from opening time at Noon and after the match, but they will stop to watch the game, you have been warned.
We’ve got plenty on as well as the England game on Sunday because the Tipsters football prediction competition organisers will be hosting their 2017/18 awards ceremony after the game, while the Club’s snooker players will also be in for the annual Finals Day which starts at 5pm.
And we’ll be breaking out the barbie on three other occasions in the next couple of months, all to do with special events at the Club. On June 30th, the Hassocks Phoenix junior football club will be running a barbie as a part of their fund-raising ahead of the new season. Then a week later Mystic’s annual five a-side football competition will be played at Downlands and we’ll be running the barbie for them. And on July 29th we’ll be hosting Sita’s Stoolball remembrance gala and we’ll be running the barbie for that, so if you or your daughter has a hankering to get into stoolball, why not come down then and have a chat with the ladies as they wait to play. And enjoy a drink and a burger.
And while we’re talking upcoming events, we still have a limited number of places available on our Goodwood trip on Friday August 3rd. These can be reserved for £50 per person and that includes travel to and from the event and access to one of the main grandstands – you pay for your own booze and bets on the day.
For those of you already booked in for Goodwood, roughly 40 of you, we will be posting a list of participants on one of the noticeboards in the Club. Please can you check that you are on the list.
Also the time has come for you to cough up your money for Goodwood. This is important because the organiser has gone out on a limb to secure these tickets and we can’t allow him to be out of pocket for any longer. So please can you come into the Club and pay for your trip by the end of June.
Have a great weekend everybody and let’s hope we’re all celebrating at the end of it.
