Darts

We lost big time, but at least we won the raffle! Our performance reverted to role with Marc Shepherd and the pairing of Terry Evans and John 'double eight double eight' Akrill the only successes of the evening. Our nemesis returned with a vengeance, with our ability to nail that final double almost non-existent. There is a rumour going around that the purpose of the game is to hit the round thing called a dartboard and not the surrounding walls and opposition - a lesson not fully understood by some members. This evening we are away to Tenby Rugby Club - in the absence of captain Terry Evans, Helen Williams will have the onerous task of choosing who plays who. Watch this space.

Fixture List

Would members and friends please note that the new season's fixture lists are available and are also on the website. Start planning your sailing well in advance. 

Social Programme

Please support the club's efforts on the social front. Just a few immediate dates to note - Terry Evans has agreed to put on a Surf and Turf evening on Saturday, February 18 (see below) and a Cheese and Cawl evening on March 3. On Wednesday, February 22, we are holding a film evening during which tasty snacks will be available. More details next week.

Surf or Turf Evening

Good steaks and fine fish - come on down and enjoy a culinary treat on Saturday, February 18. Good food, fine company in warm and convivial surroundings - what more could you ask for? Rib-eye steak or cod Italienne plus a sweet! Terry needs to know exact numbers, so would you please make reservations in advance (by Tuesday, February 14, if possible) to Terry Evans on 844256 or 07796084003. Should be a great evening.

Subscriptions and Weekly Draw

It's that time of year. Yes the annual subscriptions are due. This year we are running a weekly draw which can only be won if you are present in the club when the draw is made and you are a paid up member. See below.

Weekly Draw

The fifth draw took place last Saturday which resulted in a win for Ruth Tebutt who received the roll-over of £80. The draw was independently verified by the draw master, Paul Redford.

As mentioned above, the next draw takes place tomorrow (Saturday) evening at 9 pm, when the prize will be £50. Please note - you must be present and have your membership card with you to claim the prize!

Jam Evening

The next electric jam will take place next Wednesday, February 15, whilst the next acoustic jam will take place on Monday, February 27.

Humour

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked itself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling it about where he got it. He told them to go away and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until finally he gave in.

"OK, follow me," he said, and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through the valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.

"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked. "Yes, yes, yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy. "Good", said the bat, "because I certainly didn"t!"

Opening Hours

We have returned to winter openings of Friday, Saturday evenings and for occasional functions which will be advertised. Why not call in for a 'lemonade' - there are not many 'watering holes' with a vista like ours.
