Past Events
Domino Evening
DOMINO EVENING
On Saturday March 16th the club held a domino evening in the Athenaeum. It was a good social occasion with people moving from table to table as they won points. Thanks to Colin who kept everyone in order, well at least he tried to do, and to all who prepared the evening and who worked in the background. Robin, our Club Chair, writes, “Really well done everyone. We made a profit of £289.50 – a great effort. Looking forward to arranging another fund raiser.”
The Heversham Navvies

Several club members picked up shovels, spades, and rakes to help clear the club car park for a new surface of stone to be laid. Once cleared, a 10 tonne delivery of limestone chippings was spread across the car park by the club ‘Navvies’. Club Chair, Robin commented, “Two days of hard work will hopefully pay off and keep the car park in good condition for the foreseeable future, well done to all those who took part.“
Robin adds, “Once again thanks to the club members who turned out in appalling conditions to finish laying another 5 tonnes of stone in the car park. Also well done to those who came down to the clubhouse for the Annual Spring Clean, Boon Day! Looking good for the new season.”
