The Cupboard Monster MARKETEERS CARNIVAL CLUBChairman: Steve Wright Captain: Alan Windsor Treasurer: Dave Kirk Jnr Secretary: Mark Cheffy We done the double (at G&F carnival draw) Hello there, I hope everyone is ok and had a enjoyable extra long February, Feb was a very busy month for the club, with a massively massive and huge turnout at the Cabaret and the Pontoon Dinner. The cabaret was well attended by both members and punters, and we had a record crowd in to watch Cliff Richards do his bit on stage, as mentioned earlier with over 350 people in we needed as many waiters, bar staff and washers-up as possible. And the club did not disappoint, the hands were going up as quickly as waiters could take orders and pints were being poured as fast as possible, and at the end of the night the club had made a handsome profit to show for it. With the cabaret over the club focused on halfway and all the Monday night meetings were held out the cart. And along with people going out there on a Wednesday night the cart was soon all down and all bulbs had been tested, sorted and stored away. People are out the cart regularly so if you are free for a couple hours on a Monday or Wednesday night, please pop out and lend a hand. After lots of hard work the club started with some fun work and Old Folks show rehearsals began in earnest, as this year’s idea is Babies, not a lot of coaching was needed for the majority to re-discover their child like side. And very soon, people were throwing their toys out of the pram, squabbling and screaming their heads off. Then we decided we’d better go upstairs and start rehearsals. Also as mentioned earlier The Pontoon Dinner was held at the Bar 27, and with the highest number (111) attending that have for a long while, a good night was looked forward too. And it’s fair to say it did not disappoint. A lot of alcohol was drunk and a lot of laughs were had, also a big congratulations is due to all the winners as they were all well deserved. As the club moves forward into March, there are quite a few dates in the diary to keep everyone occupied. And hopefully they will be as well supported as everything else has been so far. On Friday 14th March the club is holding its latest in the long line of Quizzes, the last one was won By Team Big Del by a substantial margin, can anyone come back to beat them on the 14th??? You’ll have to be there to find out. The quizzes are a good laugh and enjoyable night out, and in no way over serious, the latest one is being run by Jason ‘Divvy’ Davey and is in The Blake Arms Function room 8pm start. Be good to see you all there!!!! Easter weekend the club will be holding a skittle weekend, please come and throw a few quid the clubs way and a few balls at the pins. Also coming up in march (as mentioned earlier) is The Old Folks Show, if you’d like a laugh and would like to come out and join us we’ll be meeting on the Old Market around 7/7.30pm on the 3 nights of the Show (Thurs 27,28 and 29th March) . Please come along if you fancy a good night out. News this month was that the club received our stage and road draws – we were drawn as the 1st club on stage for the 1st week, and we were drawn as the 1st B/W club to come down the road, lets hope that we can keep the good vibe and momentum that is currently around the club and we will be in with a shot as having the same results as our draw times. 1st on Stage 1st on Road sound good to anyone else?? Right I leave you now to enjoy your day, hope to see you all soon at one of the upcoming events, please support the club functions and everything we do in the coming months.
