Hello!

As we head towards Spring, so our Club is coming alive.

Fence
Stop right now, thank you very much… before I go any further some splendid news! We have new concrete posts and fencing panels at our Club’s entrance! It’s been on the Board’s to-do list for while but a few other things got in the way… the old fencing made our Club look unwelcoming and neglected. We hope you’ll notice the difference! The panels are ready to be sponsored! GK Fencing have undertaken the works and we are also hugely grateful to Gerry Howe and his company Stabilised Pavements ltd for their support. We’ll have a full sponsorship update and formal thanks in due course. And I am sure you’ll all want to express your thanks to our President, Martin Tinsley for making this happen and do speak to him or Kim about sponsorship.

Roast Sunday Lunch
A full roster of sporting and social events lie ahead. This weekend sees the return of Roast Sunday Lunch. With roast pork, roast beef or butternut squash wellington, with all the trimmings on offer and some tasty puds too… it’s not too late to book! We have two sittings – Book Now!

Events
Thursday 17th March is St. Patrick’s Day. With Guiness on tap and a brand new darts board… why not try our draft Guinness at our great value member’s price of £4 per pint! Enter the free fun ‘Killer’ Darts – competition with a prize for the winner! Sign up sheet in the foyer.

Saturday 19th March we’ll be hosting an informal performance by the Jupiter Singers. 12.30pm at the Club. It’s FREE! And my they can sing. You’ll love it! And we’ll have a Saturday lunch SPECIAL on offer. Either BBQ pulled pork or BBQ pulled monk Jackfruit (vegan). Served with fries and coleslaw, you can eat in or take away for just £9 per person. De-licious!

Looking ahead… to Mother’s Day on the 27th March we have a special roast Sunday lunch at 1pm (roast saddle of lamb, roast turkey or butternut squash and spinach wellington, served with all the trimmings!) or full on, sandwiches, cream tea, cakes and scones proper English tea, served between 3 and 4.30pm.

And please do mark this forthcoming event in your diary. On Saturday 9th April, we’re delighted that Douglas and Susanna Busi Jacobsohn will be bringing their fine award winning English fizz to the Club. They have their own vineyard in East Sussex and chef is putting together a very special tasty menu. Tickets for this tasting and fine dining event will be going on sale very soon!

Squash and Racketball
A great day of squash and racketball at Frinton-on-Sea Lawn Tennis Club Club with the Play Squash Team of Chris Vine and Sue. 12 ladies (and Colin!) joined us to celebrate International Womens Day. It would appear that we now officially have a group of racketball players at the club! If you’re interested in getting involved with squash or racketball, please do get in touch! squash@fosltc

Tennis
Whether it’s coaching for children, social tennis for Members, or competition in the Colchester league, our own winter League or private lessons to brush up on your skills… we are fortunate to have Pete and his dedicated coaching team from Neet Academy. There’s a lot going on and if you’re wanting a game, match, coaching or want to find out what’s on offer… click < here > for details.

Gym
With new classes on the way, why not get involved? We have a brand new Corebat Total Body Workout Class with Roberta that starts on the 16th March. You can sign up here. And don’t forget if you want a piece of technogym equipment (at discounted prices) for your home? You can buy it direct! Click here for details.

Croquet
Our new lawn is growing and so is interest in croquet at our Club. If you’re interested in getting involved or just fancy a taster? Please do get in touch with Richard: richard.everett.croquet@gmail.com

And don’t forget we have our Walking Football every week, indoor games on Thursday evenings (darts and table tennis) as well as our bar. Members receive substantial drinks discounts – and given the current environment, we hope we are offering great value for you, our Members.

That’s it for now.

Have a great week!

Club Chairman
