PILOT EVENTS DIARY JULY
2015
In July our regular Thursday pub-nights were at
pubs in central St Albans, Bricketwood, Redbourn and Tyttenhanger; and in South St Albans as usual for the last Thursday. At two of the
pub-nights we had a meal beforehand. Members also met up as usual to go to the
weekly Monday night quiz at a pub on the Hatfield road, St Albans; and for our first Tuesday lunch at another St Albans pub. We went to the steak night at a St Albans pub, and had a lavish afternoon tea at a pub in
London Colney.
Our Summer Event this year was a music quiz and
some dancing, with a ploughman’s supper, strawberries and cream, and Pimms. For
this event we booked a hall in Tyttenhanger.
Our film and theatre events were “Far From the
Madding Crowd” at St Albans Arena; “The Songbook of Judy Garland” at Watford
Colosseum; the ballet “Carmen” at Sadlers Wells; and the play “John Bull’s
Other Island” in the lovely garden at Shaw’s Corner, Ayot St Lawrence, with a picnic beforehand.
Our dancers went to the monthly dance in Edgware.
Our Bridge Club, Snooker club, and Supper Club continued, and there was a new
venture – a gardening club, to discuss gardening matters in members’ homes.
We went out and about enjoying the summer days – to
a Village Carnival in Eaton Bray in Bedfordshire, and to an Open Gardens Day in
Braughing, Herts, complete with special Braughing sausages. We enjoyed watching
the white water rafting at Lee Valley Centre at Waltham Cross – perhaps the
bravest of us might return to have a go! Some members joined a coach-trip to Eastbourne, and some went to the “50-Plus Show” at London’s Olympia.
So if you think you would have enjoyed some of
these events, or you’d like to have company for something you want to put in
our programme, please contact our New Members’ Co-ordinator by using the box on
the home-page of this website.
Coming up in August – our annual Pot-Luck party in
a member’s garden in Watford, and trips to the King’s Cross area of London and to Cambridge.
