SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Our recently appointed Social Secretary, Alec Chisholm, having cut his teeth on a Sussex v Kent fly fishing competition late last season, is keen to broaden the scope of our activities. Currently, club members either go fishing, sit outside watching the bird life or sit in the lodge drinking coffee and chewing the fat!

Apart from the very occasional angling match (3 last year) we are not very competition minded. The incredibly popular annual Club BBQ is the only event where family and friends are happy to come in any numbers – free food and drink being an impelling incentive.

While activities such as Fly tying would seem to be an obvious choice, the lodge is not really a suitable venue, being somewhat dark and lacking the right furniture. Bingo is not considered to be an appropriate pastime for the majority, who are content to postpone this activity until they move into their chosen care home. The installation of a dart board or shove ha’penny board have been suggested but we can enjoy these down the pub.

So Alec would like your suggestions as to what members and their families may like to do.


Initial Suggestions Are:

Brighton Greyhound Stadium with Sunday Lunch or Thursday Dinner;
Buckingham Palace;
Arundel Castle;
Sussex Game & Country Fair (15/16 June);
The Royal County of Berkshire Show (21/22 September);
South of England Autumn Show & Game Fair (5/6 October);
Arlington Speedway;
Goodwood Festival of Speed (11-14 July);
Goodwood Revival (13-15 September);
Goodwood Races;
Plumpton Races;
Fontwell Park aces;
Eastbourne Congress Theatre – That’ll be the Day (30 March).
