July BBQ Change of Plan

9 July 2017 by

I am pleased to confirm that we have a good sized albeit motley crew lined up for a Greek styled BBQ feast on 15th July at Fishermans Cottage!
However, there is some BAD NEWS ?
Despite sterling efforts over the last six weeks by our host JQE the trip round Ayton Castle is OFF! JQE has at the last minute been told that there are apparently insurmountable insurance issues surrounding so many people, potentially, making the visit! John’s confirmation that only about three members of 41 Club have even got the wind to do the trip has cut no ice apparently!

GOOD NEWS
There is always good news. If we don’t go round the Castle then NOBODY WILL GET LOST or fall over a protruding medieval shin bone and stub a toe, fatally! Also, we won’t lose half our number to The Forge Valley pub – think about it ! Sending out search parties to find out where the hell everyone is ?? So it’s all for the good, really.

John and Jenny and Jessica and I look forward to seeing you all for a cracking good do at 5pm onwards on Saturday

May 2017 Meeting – Oliver’s on the Mount

31 May 2017 by

The May meeting was held at the refurbished Oliver’s on the Mount restaurant and beforehand an outside pre dinner drinks reception was held by our new Chairman, Mark Laws and his lovely wife, Maria, at their house on Deepdale. The original plan was for members and their partners to walk to the restaurant from this venue but this did not prove to be a popular plan as everyone instead went by car.

We were honoured to have the attendance of Richard and Daphne Frank whom had returned from their six month long holiday in Spain especially for the meeting.

Michael Whiteley had problems with his car alarm after parking his car at the restaurant as it went off three times but only then realised that he had locked the car without letting Simon Lockley get out!! Not quite sure why the child door locks had been set but I suppose when you are with Simon you need to cover all eventualities.

41 Club had the restaurant to ourselves and enjoyed the wonderful views over Scarborough, together with a three course meal followed by coffee/ teas and After Eights.

Great fun and fellowship was had by all and grateful thanks were given to our hosts.
