Don’t miss the opportunity to try 23 wines with details of their origin, quizzes and prizes. Not that keen on wine, well we will also have some craft beers to taste. Phone Steve now to get booked for next Saturday on 07947 741946. 

I am delighted to announce that we are holding a wine tasting evening in conjunction with our new suppliers on Saturday 30th May at 7.30pm to select new wines for the Club.

If you would like to attend, please contact Steve at the Galley Kitchen.  Places are priced at a fantastic £8.95 per person or even better £17.00 for two!  This includes an antipasti platter and wine tasting.  Tickets must be booked and paid for in advance, no reservations can be made, and last ticket sales will be taken on Tuesday 26th May.  Please note that no further ticket sales can be taken after this time as both food and wine supplies need to be pre-ordered.  In addition, unfortunately we cannot accommodate anyone on the night who hasn’t pre-booked and numbers are limited so book early!

This should be a very enjoyable night with plenty of lovely wines to sample and raffle prizes courtesy of our new suppliers!

I look forward to seeing you there.

Many thanks indeed to Steve, Karen and their team for fantastic food and service at Saturday’s Thorpe Bay Regatta Party.  They worked very hard all evening, serving an astonishing number of diners in a short space of time and were very accommodating to a large number of tables who had not booked in advance.

Also thanks to Lorraine and her bar team on the evening for efficient and friendly service as always!

Jason West, our entertainer, gave us another brilliant evening of music which was very much enjoyed by all.  I am delighted to say Jason has been so impressed with the Club that he and his family have joined us as members!  A big welcome to him, Ioana and their boys.   We also look forward to the next time you keep our toes tapping and hands clapping!

Finally, a big thanks must go to the members, visitors and guests who came along to make it such an enjoyable and successful evening – it was wonderful to see the Club so full of life and laughter!

Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for the next free night advert in a month or so – I’ll look forward to seeing you there!

I am delighted to announce that this year’s party on the Saturday night will be totally FREE OF CHARGE to all members, visiting sailors and guests!

We are thrilled to welcome back Jason West playing saxophone and singing to keep us entertained for the evening – if you missed him on Saturday night, do come along as you will be in for a real treat!

Food will be available from Steve at the Galley Kitchen from 6.30pm til 8.30pm in the form of Tapas.  It is not essential to book, but if you know you will be coming along it would be helpful to Steve to let him know so that he has a rough idea of numbers to make sure there’s plenty available.  Prices will range from a fantastic £3.50 to £5.00 per portion and you can order as many or as few as you wish on the evening, depending on your appetite after a busy day of sailing!

Hopefully it will be a nice sunny evening and we can enjoy each other’s company with the doors open, music wafting around, good food and one or two drinks to relax us.

See you there!

This evening’s menu will be a choice of Fish Pie or Chilli and will be available from the carvery area from 7.00pm.  No need to book, just turn up and enjoy!

I am delighted to announce that the first of our FREE entertainment nights for members will take place on Saturday 18th April, starting at 7.30pm.

The fantastic Jason West will be playing saxophone and treating us to some brilliant classic and modern jazz, blues and soul.  The Galley Kitchen will be open on that evening if you fancy some of Steve’s fantastic food to make the evening complete.

Some come down and enjoy an evening on us in great surroundings with your friends!
