Consett CC Summer BBQ featuring The Great Escape!!

02 Aug 2014

A date has now been set for the annual summer BBQ. We have picked a date where both Saturday teams are in close proximity to our home ground to make it easier for all to attend and being in August it will hopefully be a wonderful sunny evening. This year we will be bringing a bit more to proceedings than the usual oil drums, meat packs and horrid selection of music from Coxy's old CD folder. We have managed to secure the services of club member Steven Turbull's band - The Great Escape. The band are well known in the North East and cover an excellent range of music. Some of this is their own material and some devoted to covers of songs from various eras meaning that there should be something in there for everyone both old and new! Tickets are now available from club chairman Alan Waters by calling 07759208178. These are priced at £8 with food and £3 without. Those who choose the £3 option will be able to buy food on the night if there is any spare should they fancy it. 

The band will be performing outside round the side of the club, there will be a bottle and can bar set up to make it easier for people to get drinks than having to keep running up and down stairs. The BBQs will be set up at the front of the club giving people plenty of room to cook their food and not be all on top of each other. For those wishing to come along and don't fancy listening to the band all night then they can seek sanctuary upstairs in the bar where they will find a much more relaxed atmosphere and WIlk's smiling face for company. 

Please don't hesitate in ordering tickets for this event as we need to know how many people want food so that we can get it ordered in and also how many are coming along so that we can make the night as successful as possible. And who knows, some of the younger ones might teach a few of you some drinking games to lighten your mood a little....
