Skittles and Cabaret

skittles oct2018

Yes – we’ve got two upcoming events to tickle your fancy:

Tomorrow, Friday 5th Oct, it’s Skittles Night – with many of our regulars not able to come this time (Liz and Andrew, Jasmina, Dee and Tony, amongst others), it’s a good time to have a go if you haven’t tried it before – all ages and abilities welcome – it’s all very informal, bring your own drinks, there’ll be some pasties etc for sale – should be fun.

>> See our skittles page for more details, past photos etc.

Then in just two weeks’ time, we’ve got Charlie Bicknell, Shameless Angel, a cabaret act coming to the Jubilee Hall – supported by Carn to Cove, it’s not suitable for those easily shocked or offended, or under-14s – Friday 19 October, 7.30 pm.

‘A high octane mix of English rose, vamp and Cruella de Vil, Charlie’s shamelessly sexy, murderously funny. You have been warned. Roses have thorns.’ The Observer

>> See below, and our Carn to Cove events page for more details, and ticket info – don’t leave it too late!

Lunch and skittles

A quick reminder of what’s on in Warleggan:

Lunch Club, 12.30pm this coming Tuesday 28 January – main course, desserts and tea/coffee at £4 a head – hopefully you have already booked, but if you haven’t yet, Gill is willing to accommodate a few more – just let her know 01208 821494 (or email this website and we’ll pass on the message) as soon as possible, but no later than 1pm Monday please.

Skittles Evening is coming up next month (Friday 21 February) – Whether or not you came last time (see photos), you’ll surely want to book your place with Jasmina (01208 821223), or through email. Like last time, we’ll do it with teams of four; there’ll be refreshments and we aim to have a licensed bar for the evening.
>>> and I (Chris) am wondering if people might like a quiet pre-Skittles-Evening Skittles Bash, to hone talents and fine-tune the arm action. If we have a reasonable number of people interested (not too many, not too few), we could set up the alley one Friday evening – we’d need to cover cost of hall and skittle hire between us, so we’d probably each need to chip in about £1 or £2 (e.g. if we get 12 of us were there, £1.50 would cover the charges). We can bring our own refreshments (thermoses or bottles), and agree how we play once we get there – no need to form teams first. How about this coming Friday 31 January from 7pm? If you might be interested, let me know (01208 821409 or email me) – who knows, it could evolve into something regular?

And finally: just wondering if anyone has ideas for new clubs or new events that could be held in the Hall? I’m thinking of drafting a short survey, asking people (amongst other things) to state their preferences on a list of possible events. If you have an idea that you’d like to see included on the list, whether it’s a beetle drive, a cookery club or the production of Warleggan’s own pantomine – whatever – then let me know (01208 821409 or email me) and I can add it to the list of potential events to choose from.

Games evening Friday and more…

In case you haven’t checked out the Warleggan website* recently, here’s what’s happening…

This Friday 18th Oct, the day after tomorrow, we’re having our TableTop Games evening at the hall, starting 7.30pm. Free entry. Come along and play a few games – and if you have games you’d like to bring along, then please do! Come and play, or come and watch. There’ll be refreshments, with a licensed bar, hot pasties, and snacks. Plus a raffle. It’ll be a great relaxing fun evening, a chance to show off your skills, or develop new ones. Amongst the games we hope to have: Dominoes, Chess, Drafts, Backgammon, Cards, Othello (or ‘Reversi’), Darts, Cluedo, Bingo, Tri-ominoes, Poker, Jenga, Connect 4, Kerplunk, Card-Monopoly ... Bring along your games (including any of the above), or other ones – Does anyone have table football, for instance?

Then, next Wednesday 23 Oct, we have the History Club Talk on the Pentewan Valley Railway (The Tea Treat Train) by Rob Evans, Jubilee Hall, 7.30pm – if you’re not a member yet, come along anyway – the more the merrier.

Some of us may be joining the Farnworth family for Roger’s Day on Sunday 27th October – see details

The next Lunch will be on Tuesday 26th November – all seats must be booked in advance; £4 a head, two courses – call Jasmina on 01208 821223, or Gill on 821494.

Hall hire – remember, anyone is welcome to hire the hall anytime – just check out the hall hire pages on the website.

Why not organise a quiet skittles evening for you and your friends (the skittles set is now kept in the hall, and is available for use – £10 plus standard hall hire charge) – or why not hold your birthday party there?

And we’ve got a great kitchen, so if you want to cook a meal for your friends, or get someone in to do it, then get in touch. If you do it before the end of the month, it’ll be just £5 on top of the hall hire charge, which doesn’t even cover the likely electricity charges – be advised though that from 1st November, the charge for use of the full kitchen will be £10 for regular users, and £20 for occasional users, still great value.

And Christmas is coming soon – book now if you’d like to hold a party at the Jubilee Hall.

Oh, and remember to keep New Year’s Eve free, as we shall be bringing the new year in at the hall with a Ceilidh – with refreshments, and we’ll be applying for a licensed bar to stay open til late.
