PILOT DIARY OF EVENTS MARCH 2016
Our Thursday pub evenings in March
were at The Waterend Barn in St Albans and The Chequers in Redbourn, both with the option of a
meal beforehand; at The Three Hammers in Chiswell Green; and twice at the
William IV in north St Albans. We also had our regular
first Tuesday lunch in St Albans, and our regular Monday night quiz at a pub on the
Hatfield road. There was also a Saturday night quiz at a church in
Marshalswick.
Dancers went to the dance-club in Edgware
for a Saturday night dance, and again for a dance on Good Friday. Walkers went
for a two-hour walk around Bricket Wood, with the option of a meal afterwards.
A highlight of March was our Pilot
trip to London by train on a Saturday to see the Cutty Sark and the Pepys
exhibition at the Maritime Museum at Greenwich.
Entertainment evenings included writer
and comedienne Pam Ayres at Wyllyotts Theatre in Potters Bar, and an evening of
dance music at Trestle Arts Base in St Albans. Members also went to the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield to hear a programme
of Beethoven and Elgar by the De Havilland Philharmonic. Some members went to a
slide lecture on John Singer Sargent organised by the Radlett Art Society.
Theatre in March was the
live-screening of the black comedy “Hangmen” in Welwyn Garden City. Films were
“Janis:Little Girl Blue”, “Hail Caesar”, “Marguerite”, and “Eddie the Eagle”,
all at Campus West, Welwyn Garden City, where we meet in the café/bar
beforehand. Members also had a lunch in St Albans, followed by the film “Dad’s
Army” at the Arena in St Albans.
Coming up in April we have another
Saturday trip by train to London, this time to visit the Foundling Museum and probably also the Wellcome
Collection. There will be an evening of jazz in Kings Langley; an evening with
Irish comedian Brendan Grace in Potters Bar;
a charity quiz night at Trinity Church, St Albans; and the shows “The
Tap Factory” and “A Touch of Class:
Strictly Come Dancing” at the Arena in St Albans. Local theatre will include
“The God of Carnage” at the Barn Theatre in WGC, and “Parlour Song” at the
Abbey Theatre in St Albans. The walk in April will be in Heartwood Forest. This is all in addition to our
regular pub-nights, quiz-nights, and first Tuesday lunch, and to our Supper
Club, Snooker Club and Bridge Club.
