Dry January is over! Time to get down to the club for a few drinks. We have a lovely selection of wines by the bottle, if you feel like a treat, including a new Principato Pinot Noir. It has delicate aromas of sour cherry with light spice and hints of vanilla a tasty well-balanced wine with bramble and red berry characters perfect for quaffing!

Cervantes Race Junior Fundraising Mission

Ten intrepid juniors have signed up to do their very first offshore race with the Tall Ships Youth Trust. In May, they will be racing from Portsmouth to Le Havre and back on a Challenger 72, taking part in the RORC Cervantes Race (designed as a qualifier for the Fastnet).

This is not a cheap weekend and so they need your support! Over the next few months they will be doing lots of fundraising at the club, with the aim of raising £2,000 towards the total cost of the weekend (which is £5,000).

From cake sales to car washing…. movie nights to mega bingo, there will be plenty of ways you can support this amazing bunch of juniors and help them on their way.

Murder Mystery Night 28th March

"Shaken, Stirred, and... Sunk? Dust off your tuxedos and batten down the hatches! You are cordially invited to an evening of high-stakes espionage and low-brow betrayal. Were combining the suave world of 007 with the choppy waters of a sailing disaster—think Casino Royale meets The Titanic, but with better food and fewer icebergs (hopefully).

Someone is planning to go overboard, and we dont mean with the gin. Its up to you to decode the clues, dodge the double-agents, and figure out who turned the "License to Kill" into a literal Saturday night hobby.

The Mission Brief When: Saturday, 28th March Arrival: 7:00 PM (Precision is key, Agent. Don't be "fashionably late" or you might be the first victim.) Seated: 7:30 PM The Damage: £30 per person (A steal! Even Q couldn't get you a gadget this cheap.)

The Perks A Three-Course Feast: Included in your ticket. Its to die for—but please try to finish the dessert before you succumb to any "accidents." Intel & Intrigue: An evening packed with puzzles, deceit, and enough red herrings to fill a fishing net.

Dress Code: Theme to Impress. Think Bond Villains, Femme Fatales, or "High-Seas Chic." If you turn up in a snorkel and a bowtie, we won't judge... much.

Note: If you see anyone stroking a white cat while steering a dinghy, theyre probably the prime suspect. Or just very lost."

TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

FOOD CHOICES

The "Golden-Hen" (Meat) Chicken wrapped in Parma Ham, stuffed with Mozzarella and Sun-dried Tomatoes. Served on a bed of Couscous with a Pesto drizzle. A dish as well-dressed as Bond himself.

Pan-seared Seabream Fillet with a Mediterranean vegetables with a herb sauce. Fresh from the ocean, no diving gear required.

The "Secret Garden" (Vegetarian) Creamy Mushroom Risotto topped with peppery Rocket and shaved Parmesan. Earthy, mysterious, and completely vegetarian.

Caribbean Night 11th April

We will have the legendary Derek Sandy (who many of you will know from Salty's in Yarmouth) joining us at the club for an evening of feel-good Caribbean vibes and great music, guaranteed to get you dancing. With a feast of Caribbean food and lots of fun games to get the party started, this event is not to be missed!

Last years Caribbean evening was a great success and this is set to be even better!  More details to follow shortly.
