July Big Quiz Friday July 26th @8pm charity special in aid of mind

The July quiz is being taken over to raise money for the mind charity. It will still cost £1 to enter but there won't be cash prizes - instead the money will go to charity. They'll also be an opportunity to donate, a game of heads and tails at half time, and if you have any unused items you want to dispose of that are suitable for car booting, please bring them along. Paul and Charlotte will happily take them away and sell them to raise funds for mind.

Please come along and support a worthwhile cause and enjoy a different quiz experience into the bargain. You can find more about mind at www.mind.org.uk/

PREMIERSHIP PREDICTION GAME

John Curtis is organising the premier league predictor again for the 2019/20 season. He's kindly agreed to widen this out to social club members.

This will be an ‘educated’ guess on how you think the Premier League table will finish at the end of the season. The attached excel document explains how the points system works but basically the closer you predict a team to their final position the better. For example if you predicted Arsenal to finish 4th but they finish 7th then you would score 3 points.

The idea of the game is to collect the least number of points to win.  If there is a draw, to find the winner it will come down to the tie-breaker (predict how many goals will be scored over the season) you have filled in on an excel sheet that john will email to you.

There will be a charge of £2pp, for which John Curtis will confirm the exact amount and number of prizes after the closing date. John will arrange a ‘special’ prize for the person who gets the most points!!

If you would like to enter then please email events@nccsocialclub.co.uk before Friday 9th August. We'll arrange to collect your £2 membership fee (which needs to be paid by Friday 9th August) and also give you details to John.

Thanks very much to John for agreeing to open this out. Start your guestimates now...

CARD PAYMENTS COMING SOON

We have taken possession of our new card machine, and are currently working out how to fit this in with our till, payment and cashing up processes, as well as sorting out training for the bar staff. This should be available soon, but for the time being please have cash or cheque handy.

LOOKING AHEAD

We're planning even more great stuff. Besides the monthly early bird quiz, big quiz, and pre home match football, we've got hot food Friday lunchtimes, our perennial 4 pints for the price of 3 (after work and before 7pm), the rock n roll club, retired members talks, various sports clubs and lots more. All for £2.50 a month!

Live Music, BBQ and bottled beer night, and loads more are on the way... More later this week hopefully (when I can find everything on my new computer). Keep your eyes peeled and thanks for your continued support and membership. We couldn't do it without you - you literally are the social club. Each and everyone of you! See you 'up the hill' soon

Please sign up your colleagues so they can enjoy as well. These events are all FREE for social club members and their guest (including children) and are paid for out of your £2.50 a month. So the more members we have, the more we can put on! Simples - innit?

IF YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH...

Please don't reply to these emails - they disappear into a big hole somewhere in a parallel universe, and get ignored.
