WITH Cricket Week (Jul 26 - Jul 31) now just a few weeks away, here's a reminder of what's coming up at The Green during a busy July...
NOTICE: SUNDAY JULY 3 QUIZ NIGHT CANCELLED
Due to commitments elsewhere for the scheduled host, this weekend's Quiz Night will not take place.
++++++
TUE JUL 5 - CHRIS LAWRANCE'S BANJO BASH: First Tuesday of every month; Bar 8.00pm, Music 8.30pm
Enjoy the delights of music played in the traditional & bluegrass way by Chris Lawrance and his collection of musical maestros from around the local area.
Some of the finest fiddlers and string pluckers in the region descend on The Green for an old-time music session once a month - and it's always worth a listen.
The gang usually get going from around 8.30pm at the latest. Come along and have a drink while you sit back and enjoy the toe-tapping sounds.
++++++
THU JUL 7 & WEEKLY - YOGA & RELAXATION SESSION, every Thursday; Yoga 6.30pm, Bar 8.00pm
Come along and enjoy a relaxed yoga session under the watchful eye of a qualified tutor, every Thursday evening inside the LGCC clubhouse.
Co-ordinator Glennis Taylor will be only too happy to welcome you along to a friendly group of like-minded folk.
Mats are available to use should you not possess your own, and the group often stay behind for a quick drink after the clubhouse opens to others at 8.00pm.
Due to holidays, the next session takes place on Thursday July 7.

FRI JUL 8 - FRIDAY CRICKET & SOCIAL DOUBLE...
'The Seam And The Swing' - T20 Cup Final followed by live music back at LGCC...
Friday July 8 now sees two events on the same evening - but at times to allow LGCC members to enjoy either or, hopefully, both on the same night!
Levy Green's 1st XI has reached the final of the Heath Park T20 Cup, while we're also keen to honour a long-term booking for live music with 'The Swing Pins'; making it a 'Seam & Swing' double...
With thanks to Daniel McClelland and 'The Swing Pins' accommodating a change of start time, you can now enjoy the cricket action first before heading back to The Green for some great live music.
First up it's the Heath Park T20 Cup Final as Leverstock Green try to retain their crown against Berkhamsted; the final is scheduled for a 6.00pm start at Hemel Town's Heath Park Ground on Station Road.
Then it's all back to The Green to enjoy the sounds of live music, with Daniel McClelland leading 'The Swing Pins' as they belt out your favourite jazz, swing and Rat Pack numbers.
++++++

Join Us For A Cuppa & A Chat - Free Community Event, All Welcome
Our community get-together continues between 10am and 12noon on every second and fourth Thursday morning of each month.
Completely free to attend and personally hosted, everyone in the local community is welcome to pop by or stay for the whole two hours; whichever is most appealing.
