​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Prize Giving

Thursday night is all about celebrating success at the Club. You will be entertained, and well fed and we will also celebrate various Club Members who have achieved success in one form or another at the Club this season.

It's going to be a great night. Gates open at 5:30pm, nah just kidding but the event does kick off from around that time. Get in early, grab something from the bar and get a good seat.

Have fun!
