Karaoke Night and BBQ
The BBQ and Karaoke went with real swing as the evening started off with Betty’s home made ‘Siesta Sunrise Sangria’. There were a number of reluctant performers at the beginning of the night, but as the evening progressed more participants came to the fore culminating with the whole Fylde ensemble belting out Bohemian Rhapsody with gusto, with harmonies from Kath and Alan and air guitar solo from Betty.
There were many highlights of the evening including: An outstanding piece of theatre from Chris and Leonard with their interpretation of Delilah. Catherine had the crowd enthralled with her acapella versions of ‘The Boxer’ and ‘Vincent’. Ian wowed the audience with his Rooster Song singing solo with his guitar. He later had the group singing along to his guitar to some Ceilidh classics. Catherine and Betty entertained with their tribute to Abba of Mama Mia. But who could forget Philip and Catherine owning the stage with their Right Said Fred number ‘I’m too sexy for my Shirt’ complete with actions. Oh and the bbq food wasn’t bad either!
The last members reluctantly left at midnight. Members raved at its success and enjoyed it so much that money was given to the kitty as they were leaving, because they enjoyed it so much!
A big thank you to Betty and Ian for the catering, Ian for the use of his house and big thank you to everyone who attended . We raised a whopping £121. The only question now is when is the next one?

26th October 2010
Midsummer BBQ
High winds the night before brought tree damage to the venue and on the morning of the event the rain fell hard. However gradually as burning time approached the skies cleared and we were blessed with dry and sunny weather for most of the evening until the Sun went behind the trees and the clouds began to form.
Everyone enjoyed themselves cooking their own food and drinking their own drinks, some even sitting on their own chair. The event raised £110 for the club.
16th July 2010
Spring Pub Night
The Admiral St Annes was the new venue for this fund raising get together.
The food was good and the staff smiled through it all helpfully catering for our quirky demands of moving tables between courses. The event painlessly extracted £90 from the membership who paid full price for their meals while the club took advantage of the venue's discount offers.
30th March 2010
FUN AFTERNOON
The afternoon of fun included 'Famous Last Words' and 'Real Names' along with the ever popular 'Bagatelle'. New this year was 'Floating Eggs' where teams needed to build a boat out of a sheet of paper. These vessels we then left in water while we ate a Jacobs Join meal. Eventually only one boat remained afloat.
17th January 2010

Friends from Culcheth CC and Southport and Birkdale CC joined us at the Bedford Hotel for our annual dinner. The hotel staff looked after our needs perfectly and gave us delicious food and drink in the ballroom.

After presenting club tournament trophies to the winners, the Chairman received the Haka from the 'All Blanks' who challenged him to collect The New Zealand Tray on behalf of the Club.
