Big Quiz 2023

The main club remains open during the festive period – see opening hours below. We’ll then kick off the New Year with a Quiz Night on Tues 10th Jan. Back by popular demand will be quizmaster and compere Gary, but be warned there will be some age-appropriate questions in honour of a certain someone who will be celebrating their last night in their 50’s! The person in question was born during the Big Freeze of 1963, which by all accounts was somewhat colder than the one we experienced last week. Happy Christmas everyone and look forward to seeing you all in 2023.

That’s it for 2022!

We ended the year with a winter/xmas social on Tues 6th with a miss mash of games and quizzes. Big thanks to Nikki for organising the evening and all the other helpers. The next date for your diary is Tues 10th Jan, although activities continue at the club with football broadcast most nights and an informal get together most Friday nights from 6pm .. all welcome.

Happy Christmas everyone!

 

Silverware

An evening of great food and bonhomie was had by all at Fulwell Golf Club at the annual presentation of trophies & awards on 18th November. All the winners deserved their night of glory and it was especially rewarding to see some collecting silverware for the first time – congratulations to Pat Fletcher, Colin Edwards, Alison Nabil and Simon Reynolds! Many thanks to everyone involved in organising such a well-polished evening and best wishes to everyone. All the photos from the evening are available here Presentation Dinner 2022

Here’s a couple more dates for your diary (both take place in the main hall at SSA) ..

  • Thur 24th Nov 7:30pm – SSA Annual General Meeting
  • Tues 6th Dec 7:30pm – Bowls club Xmas social

Friday night dinner

The annual dinner and presentation of awards is nearly upon us – if coming, please arrive by 6:30pm for a start at 7pm. The dinner, presentation of awards and raffle is expected to take around 3hrs. If you feel able to donate a suitable raffle prize please seek out Eileen or Di on arrival at the club.

We have been advised by Fulwell Golf Club that the code for exiting the car park, if required, is 1904.

 

How many months have 30 days?

Our quizmaster Gary kept the trick question until last at the latest monthly social. The answer, of course, is 11 and helped The Champions win by the closest of margins – half a point!  All six teams were close and a good time was had by all. Many thanks to Gary .. we’ll be booking him again soon!

Next up is the AGM on Tues 8th so do try and make it to hear about how the year went and what’s planned for next. Please do feel free to ask any questions once the formal proceedings have been done. One additional item up for discussion is the potential new club shirt as modelled by our Honourable Secretary.
