Hello!

With the freezing temperatures and strikes all around, we are fast heading into the festive period. And you’re probably looking to cheer yourselves up! Why not join us at your Club to get into the festive spirit? 

Our Festive parties are underway. We have two events that you can still book. Carols with Caryll has become a Christmas Eve tradition at the Club. We’ll be serving wonderful canapés as prepared by Chef and his team. We’ll get started at 6pm on Christmas Eve and the bar wil be open too! What’s not to like? Just so we can cater, please do register by emailing Rebecca@fosltc.com – a good number of you are coming along so it should be a really wonderful way to celebrate the season! 

New Year’s Eve

Our New Year’s Eve dinner and dancing party is back! If you’ve not booked yet, there is still time but HURRY! Places are limited. Chef an his team will be serving a delicious selection of canapés accompanied by a glass of fizz, and delicious dinner. And our superstar DJ will be spinning the wheels of steel. See out 2022 and welcome in 2023 with a great party in style. It’s at the Club and we’ll take care of everything. Who wants to be doing the washing and clearing up after a big ol’ bash? Exactly. Last year was a huge amount of fun so if you are at a loose end – why not bring your family and friends, book a table or join in. You’re ALL welcome! Book HERE.

Easy Fundraising

It’s called easy fundraising because it is! And I don’t feel bad about asking you to get involved. Because it costs you NOTHING. This is the Club’s fundraising partner with this one tool. It’s really easy to use. Every time you make an online purchase and the site is activated, the Club gets a cut. It costs you NOTHING. Whether it’s an online food delivery order, upgrading your broadband, buying a present, holiday or a supermarket online shop. PLEASE do take a look at setting this up and if you are registered, do make sure it’s activated. We have raised nearly £2,000. It can make a real difference. Did I tell you it costs YOU nothing? Right – action stations please let’s see how much we can raise! All the details are HERE.

2023

As you might imagine we have a whole host of plans to continue your Club’s evolution. The big project for the new year will be the works to our thatched roof. Whilst we anticipate some disruption, this should be minimal. And there are a few other projects we’ll be getting stuck into as well and we’ll set out all our plans in the new year. It has not evaded our attention that the cost of living crisis continues to bite and with energy prices still on the up, we are very focussed on ensuring we are as efficient as we can be with our limited resources. 

We’ll be doing everything we can to ensure you remain a Member. If there are issues or things you feel need to be addressed, as always we are happy to hear from you. Whether it’s an email or message direct to me or via the office we are acutely aware that this is your Club and in a time of economic restraint, it’s even more important that we demonstrate value for money for you. We’ll keep focussed on delivering and we hope you’ll continue to support the Club. Most importantly, do come and visit and use our facilities and spread the word!

Our Roast Sunday Lunches will be back in the New Year – they really do get booked up, so reserve your table or places HERE.

Jazz returns – Yes, On Friday 13th and Saturday 14th January, The Frinton Jazz Club is back for two nights of ‘Some Kinda Wonderful’ with Derek Nash, his band and the amazing singing talents of Noel McCalla. Seriously? These musicians are world class. And they’re performing at your Club! More details and booking is HERE.

Get Fit Not Fat
