PILOT CLUB DIARY OF EVENTS OCTOBER 2015
This month our Thursday pub-nights were at pubs in
Sandridge, north St Albans, and Tyttenhanger. We also had two Friday night
get-togethers, with optional meal, at the popular north St Albans pub, and the regular first Tuesday lunch
there. There was also a Saturday night meal at Loch Fine in St Albans and a Sunday lunch at a pub in Lemsford. The
regular Monday night quiz at a Hatfield road pub remains popular. Members also
went to a quiz in aid of Grove House.
Film and theatre events included a comedy night at
Westminster Lodge, St Albans; the film “Ruth and Alex” and a screening of the
theatre version of “The Mousetrap” at St Albans Arena; a screening on “Macbeth”
and the film “Suffragette” at Campus West, Welwyn Garden City; and the play
“Burial at Thebes” at the Abbey Theatre, St Albans. Members also heard a
presentation by Ann Widdicombe at Wylotts Theatre, Potters Bar, and heard a
concert of Strauss and Brahms at the University of Herts at Hatfield.
Dancers went to the monthly event in Edgware, and
walkers went on a Sunday morning walk in Heartwood Forest, with a meal in Sandridge afterwards.
Members went out and about on a guided tour of the
Olympic site, and to a guided walk around “The Old City” in London. Locally we went to Apple Day at Highfield Park in St Albans. There was a games evening and a pot-luck supper
in members’ homes, and a Christmas table-decoration class.
Coming up in November we have visits to the
Stitching and Hobby- Crafts Show in London, to the Magic Circle, and to Ascot Races. In December we have “The
Little Match Girl” ballet at Sadlers Wells, “Wonderland” at the National Theatre,
and also we are joining an evening party at a hotel in St Albans and having our own Christmas lunch in Aldenham. In
January we will hold a Burns Night party at a hall in Tyttenhanger.
