Hi all,
As the summer sailing draws to an end, the fortnightly winter sailing kicks in, and fewer skiers hit the water, some of you might be wondering what to do with yourselves. Well there is always something on at the club!
In date order:
Friday 26th sees the first of my new Friday bistro nights. Following feedback and a rise in popularity of my Tuesday bistro I have changed nights. This first one is fully booked but I will be holding them once a month on the 3rd Friday. The menu comprises of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts which are individually priced or you can get 3 courses for £12.50. If these prove popular I'm hoping to do them more often in the New Year. To give you an idea of what I do this month's menu is: Trio of Fish (Homemade Smoked Mackerel Pate, Potted Shrimps and Smoked Salmon); Goats Cheese with Rhubarb and Horseradish Chutney served warm on a crustini, Homemade Roast Tomato and red pepper Soup. Followed by: Pork Noisette with Prunes, Sirloin Minute Steak with white bean mash and Pan fried Sea bass with mash. For dessert: Individual chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and marsh mellows (let's face it I doubt you'll read past that one!), Panne cotta and the last one is yet to be decided!
Thursday 1st November Live Music Night with Ian Hooper. Very excited about this one! The first Thursday(ish) in each month Ian Hooper will be performing for us. There will be a light bite menu and table service so come on down and bring your friends! Entry is free for members and just £2 for non members.
Saturday 17th November (CHANGE OF DATE) Commodore's Evening
The Commodore and his Lady would like to request your company for the Commodore's Evening following their 2 years service.
By popular demand: The Ladies of our club have requested an opportunity to "Glam up" so ball gowns and LBDs at the ready as this will be a Black Tie event.
Ticket Price: £18.50
Menu:
Starter:
Prawn Cocktail
Traditional prawn cocktail with the usual Dancing Fish twist! Served with brown bread
Mains:
Pork in cider with Juniper
Mustard mash
Peas
Dessert:
Syrup Sponge and Custard
Coffee and a selection of cheeses will be available.
Friday 23rd November: Bistro night
Saturday 1st December: Ian Hooper
Sunday 16th December: Christmas Lunch. This was very popular last year with 120 people attending!!!! This obviously caused service problems, especially as it was my first event! I now have more experience and regular staff so this year's is going to be EPIC! Priced at just £12.50 for 3 courses with Children under 12 eating FREE. I promise to cook enough roast potatoes and ensure the pigs in blankets are cooked in time! ;-)
Thursday 3rd January 2013: "Survivor's Ball" with Ian Hooper
So hope to see you all very soon. Have a good week and don't forget the clocks go back this weekend!
