OUR WINNING BANK HOLIDAY PICTURE

RUNNERS UP

Many thanks to

all who came along and joined in the fun

on 28th august

NEW MEMBERS - OPEN EVENING On 14th and 21st October at 7.30pm we are holding Open Evenings for members and

guests. This is a chance for new members to fast-track the membership process and

get nearly 15 month’s membership for the price of 12. The Club welcomes applicants

for membership so if you have friends who you believe would make good members why

not encourage them to join come along.

An application form is attached to the on-line version of the Magazine and you are

welcome to print this and bring it to the Club. You can also download a copy from our

website at corbyconservativeclub.net. Printed copies are also available at the bar.

Dear Members,

It was great to see so many members and friends coming along to the Club for the August Bank Holiday Trailer Gig. Once again we were so lucky with the weather. When Corby was under a deluge only the day before we did wonder if the weather would be kind to us. Thankfully it was and we all enjoyed another great event.

We have proved we can do these big functions and members have responded by coming along in force. All we have to do now is persuade everyone to come along on ordinary days at the Club.

Our recent Saturday night gig in the Games Room was another great success and I would like to thank ‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’ for a super evening. And many thanks to all those members who came along and supported us. These evenings are definitely popular and we have lots more planned for the future.

The Committee and the Staff are working hard to build up our following, and our excellent restaurant staff, ably led by Darren, are doing their bit as well. Indeed, there is no doubt that our restaurant is gaining a very good reputation in Corby and many postings on the internet will testify to this.

Speaking of the internet, can I ask you all to regularly check our website at

www.corbyconservativeclub.net to see what is happening at the Club.

The website is regularly updated with latest news of sport and other entertainment. You can download membership forms and menus and even a copy of this magazine directly from our webpages.

And we send out regular updates to members and friends via email so please let us have your email address so we can add you to our mailing list.

We also post regular news on Facebook so don’t forget to look there for more Club news.

Sincerely

Neil Butler

P.S. Don’t go to the old webpage at corbyconservativeclub.co.uk as updates to that site have been discontinued.

We need your email

In this electronic age the main

form of communication now is

collecting email addresses for

many years but there are still

many members who aren’t on

Please let us have your email

Club.

address we promise that it will

not be revealed to anyone else

and it will only be used to keep

you advised of Club news. You

can cancel at any time.

get a treat near their birthday.

talking big money here, just a small

contribution which will help enormously. We

will still publish small ads from members for

free.

support.
