Tuesday 6th March was the club's Skittles night at The Haycutters' Inn, and was thoroughly enjoyed by twenty-eight members. The landlord's buffet supper helped fuel the bowling, which, as usual, improved as the evening wore on. The winners were team C - Suzanne C., Mo, Gill, Graham B. and Kent; the best individual score was Gill's 31; and the highest score with 2 balls was Denise's 17.
Our thanks to Derek L. for running the competition and to Graham B. for the transport.
April's meeting is on Tuesday 10th (not the first Tuesday because of Easter), at the Community Centre at the usual time of 8.00, when Chris Hoskins will be the speaker and quiz-master. Chris will be talking about Morris dancing and other interests.
The club was founded in 1977 and meets once a month (except August), usually with a guest speaker or wine expert. Please use the following pages, to enjoy this great club, including many special events and tasting. Everyone is welcome, so just check out the Events page for the next meeting and venue.

February 2012 meeting
February's event - attended by sixteen members on a cold, snowy evening - was a very interesting and enjoyable wine-tasting presented by Chris and Harriet from Majestic Wines of Reigate. Four reds were offered: a pinot noir from the Loire Valley which was compared with a merlot from Chile and a GSM (Grenach/Siraz/Mourvedre) from the Rhone to compare with a similar blend from South Australia. Two whites tried were a chardonnay from Chile and a chenin blanc from South Africa. We were also given samples of food that were recommended with each wine. (We can confirm that chocolate does go well with red wine, in particular on this occasion with the Rhone GSM. )
On Tuesday 6th March we go to The Haycutter for skittles and a buffet supper.
Starting time is 7.30 p.m. A coach will pick up at 7 o'clock in Kings Cross Lane, 7.05 at the foot of the Avenue, 7.08 at the Village Hall, and, if required, about 7.12 at top Nutfield.
