| Social Events | ||||||||||
| We have a full program of social events
|
Our social committee organise and arrange a full and varied program of activities for the members to
participate in.
Whilst not every activity will appeal to every member, we hope that there will be at least one or two things that will be of interest to each member, during the month. We also actively encourage our partners and families to join us in many of the activities. To see the full diary for the club including social and community activities click here |

| Guy Faulks night in Leighton Buzzard | ||||||||||
This is a movies of some of the fireworks on display.
Please click the image to run the movie. |
We descended on
Brooklands school in Leighton Buzzard to watch the firework display. It
was a dry but a cold November night. There was a huge bonfire which,
when lit we could feel the heat from 100 metres away. After the
display, we went to Graham and Alison's who very kindly fed us baked
potatoes and salad.

| Stockcar racing in Northampton | ||||||||||
The children wanted to get a better view of the crashes. |
It was a fabulous sunny and warm afternoon in October. We decided to go stockcar racing and we are very lucky as there is a track nearby in Barfield Northampton. We must remember to take chairs or a blanket next time.

| International Cheese tasting event | ||||||||||
Forget wine tasting- cheese tasting is
the latest thing...
Andy S receiving this prize as the greatest cheese taster in the club. How cheesy is that! |
We wanted to raise some money but have fun as well, so our community committee decided to hold an international cheese tasting event.
This was a great evening. We had no idea there were so many different cheeses out there, some wonderful, others truly disgusting. It was great fun and one we should repeat, next year perhaps?

| BBQ on a blowy September afternoon | ||||||||||
Kite flying would have been the order
of the day for our annual BBQ with our families had we only known how windy
it was going to be.
The guys discussing the football and motor racing in the kitchen of course. |
This event had been
scheduled for July but the weather had been so awful that we were
forced to reschedule for later on in the year and hope for an "Indian
Summer".
We were lucky and whilst it was very windy, it remained dry and warm for most of the day. The afternoon was hosted by Tony and Elspeth in their beautiful new home in a village near Buckingham. Fabulous food was cooked by Gavin and eaten by most of the club, their partners and offspring.

We were very lucky when we picked August Bank
Holiday Sunday to enjoy a picnic and a game of rounder's in Emberton park. The weather was glorious.

| Film Trivia night | ||||||||||
| Helen toasting her guests
|
We held a film trivia
night and BBQ, where all the gusts had to come as their favourite film and
we had to guess what films were being portrayed. Some of the costumes were quite cryptic and difficult to guess, but everyone made a huge effort and looked great. We had some excellent BBQ food and then we answered 51 film question, some hard some easy. The prize for the quiz went of course to our resident genius Neil and the best
portrayal of a film in costume went to Andy M. See if you can guess the films we all represented.

| Murder on the train out of Paris | ||||||||||
| We all dressed up...
|
The scene was 1940 in
Paris and we were all escaping on a special train from the German invasion
of that city. But, shock horror, one of the guests had been murdered. We ate a lovely meal and tried to work out who was the guilty guest. It was a complicated plot and Graham and Andy M got the closest to the correct answer, but no-one got it absolutely right. We all enjoyed it very much.
