A MESSAGE FROM JACKIE
Happy New Year everyone and thank you to everyone who has supported our club throughout the last few years ,I have often joked that I only took on the task of organising the club as a temporary measure (that was January 2016)
I was only going to do this until someone came along who knew what they were doing
However events have overtaken me. In the spring Mark and I will be moving from Croxdale so I will be standing down from the role of organiser and our good friend Tom Fielding will be taking over. Tom has been a regular at the club for a long while and I am confident that I am leaving the club in very capable hands
I will be around for a while so the handover will be gradual
I have really enjoyed my time as organiser of the club. I could not have done this without all the help and support I have been given by Michael and Sandra, owners and Landlords of The Daleside pub and also our wonderful and talented houseband , Phylisan. Thank you guys
Also of course I owe a big thank you to all our regulars at the club. Many of you have become good friends
I think that’s nearly everything
I am afraid we have to raise our prices for our guest nights. Prices will be shown on the calendar, don’t worry it will not be a large rise
Thanks for all your support
Jackie x

This made it all worth while. A chap came up to me and thanked me for running this website, as it had opened up so many things for him.
Yes, it's where the lonely people go, and where they no longer feel lonely.
