Subject: FOLK AT THE DRUM - GUEST NIGHT 4 DEC 08 - RICHARD GRAINGER AND CLUB CHRISTMAS DINNER
Hi Folks,
 
Just the usual reminder of our guest night next Thursday.
 
As a result of forgetting to take the booking sheet along last night I don't have many floor spots booked.  So far I have Malcolm and Veronica, Adrian O and me or Me and Dannie so if you would like a spot please let me know.
 
With regard to the Christmas Dinner, I only have about seven people booked for it so far. This is a little disappointing as we had eighteen sitting down last year and I had hoped we could improve on that this year.  The three Christmas Dinners we have had since we moved back to the Drum have all been thoroughly enjoyable evenings and at £15 a head I think it is pretty reasonable, especially as they look after us so well all through the year and at the dinner itself.
 
If you haven't already made other arrangements for 11 Dec please consider coming along to give both the club and the pub your support.  In the present climate I feel we need to give the pub all the support we can, the old adage of  "use it or lose it" is completely apt and if  we had to move again I really don't know where we would find a venue like the one we have if we could find one at all!
 
On that note, I meant to mention last night that the pub is now doing a Monday night "Curry Night with a pint" for about £6 from 1700 hours instead of the sausage and mash that they did previously.  That is in addition to the Friday night fish and chips promotion.  Dannie and I went for that one Friday and it was excellent and extremely good value for money.
 
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you next week.
 
Regards
 
David
