BURNS NIGHT: The Burns Team held their first meeting to discuss and formulate a programme for this popular forthcoming event. The event itself is scheduled to take place on Saturday 23rd January 2016. and not on the 24th as wrongly stated in last week’s report.
GARDENING CLUB: The last talk of the year for the Gardening Club went off with a bang on 3rd November. Patrick Harding returned by popular demand to talk about The Medicinal Properties of Plants. As expected he entertained the group with his humour and expertise, and attracted the clubs largest attendance with a total of 32 people present on the night.
Watch out for the 2016 programme, noting that the first meeting of the New Year is the annual Pub Quiz at 7:15pm on Tuesday 5th January at The Gate Inn. This is sure to give members the lift they need when all the excitement of Christmas and the New Year has rapidly faded away. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
MEET THE NEIGHBOURS: The group met on Tuesday 10th November at the Gate Inn at the usual time of 1:00pm. The group goes from strength to strength with 45 people attending the gathering.
The quiz was challenging; the raffle (£1 a ticket) was terrific fun as usual. The stuffed chicken breast etc (£5) was great; and the place was buzzing.
The special Christmas gathering on 8th December promises even more! NOTE the start time is 5:00pm, but do get there early. There will be a Christmas Buffet followed by the Harworth Brass Band which starts up around 6:00pm. If you have not yet booked your buffet either phone Joan Reiter on 01777 702137 or send an email to mtn@suttoncumlound.net. Everyone is welcome to turn up at 6:00pm to the listen to the Band.
