Hello!

As storm Éowyn batters Northern Ireland and Scotland it’s hardly calm here in Frinton. Fortunate that we have so much indoor sporting and social activity to keep you entertained. This week news on a range of events and offers which we hope will be of interest. In particular I’d like to draw your attention to the Pol Roger Dinner. A member of the Pol Roger family will be at our Club to take you through some of their amazing champagnes. With generous servings of fizz and a wonderful menu prepared by Chef this should be an exceptional evening. And if it’s not quite to your taste, next Friday 31st January Bangers and Bingo returns to the Club! Something for everyone as I often say…

We also said good bye to one of our bar staff this weekend, Jonathan, who’s onto his next adventure. We all thank Jonathan for his hard work and wish him the very best in his new job!

On to this week’s news!

Squash courts are for squash and racquetball only, please do not play any other sports on the courts. Thank you.
