Buskers’ Night

Our next social night is fast approaching: Saturday 13th April from 7pm. There are still a few places left to watch the entertainment but we now have enough entertainers, including The Black Corner Band who are the headline act so we’re in for another good night. Places are limited so let us know at boldon.ltc@outlook.com if you are coming to listen. Tickets are £5, free for buskers.

No food on offer at this one so bring your own drinks and snacks.

 

Clubwear

We purchase our Club Wear from Tanya of MisFit and Dance. The club is therefore supporting a local business. She purchases the sportswear and then adds our club logo etc. She pays the same delivery charge if she places an order for two items or 20 so we are trying to group our orders together to assist her with these charges.
We have a couple of orders ready to go off so if anybody else wishes to place an order can they please place their order by 12th April. Going forward, we will place orders each month: dates will be published in the weekly bulletin. There will be a hoody sample available in the clubhouse from next Wednesday to check sizing. For more information about what else is available and how to order, check out the Clubwear page on our website here.
