Crib Night for Club Members
Wednesday Evenings, 7.00pm - 10.00pm
5th October 2016 to April 2017
Whether you are an experienced Crib player or a beginner, why not come along to our Crib Night held at the clubhouse every Wednesday evening.
If you have your own Crib board and cards, then please bring them along, but don't worry if you haven't, we do have spares.
Crib nights are a great social get-together and we even open the bar. As with our Carpet Bowls, the cost is just £1.00 per person and includes tea or coffee and biscuits, halfway through the evening.
Contact Dave and Pat Hart for further information.
