LGCC WHAT'S ON - NOVEMBER 2022: 'DELightful Sounds' Disco, Quiz Night, World Cup Bingo Night & Much More...

26 Oct 2022

AS we contiune towards Christmas, there's more in store at The Green during November and then heading into the festive season of December.

November has a music-led start to it with Tuesday November 1's Banjo Bash and then a disco evening on Friday November 4; another of our free 'Friday Social' evenings.

Then it's our our regular Monthly Quiz Night on the first Sunday, as usual. 

Towards the end of the month, we'll be hosting a special World Cup Bingo Night - to raise funds for LGCC's bar refurb - on the evening of the England v USA group fixture.

So here's what's ahead for November, starting with our feature events for the month...

++++++
TUE NOV 1 - 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.

++++++
FRIDAY SOCIAL - FRI NOV 4, 8pm: Live Disco @ LGCC with 'DELightful Sounds'

Relax and unwind or get up and dance to the disco tunes of 'DELightful Sounds' on Friday November 4 at The Green.

The latest in our free 'Friday Social' events takes place at the LGCC clubhouse, with members and their guests very welcome.

The bar will be open from 7.30pm, with sounds to DELight you running from 8.00pm until late.

We'll see you at The Green!

++++++
SUN NOV 6: Monthly Quiz Night, 7.45pm start

The chance to test out the old grey matter is back once again, and it'll be Phil Gore assuming the role of Quizmaster to test your old grey matter in the company of friends and other LGCC members.

Teams can be made up of any number you'd like to bring, with the entry fee of £2 per person divided between winning teams.

There's also Spot Prizes along the way, with the bar open from 7.30pm.

(Note: A Christmas Special Quiz Night - hosted by Richard Walker - will take place on Sunday December 11, to avoid any potential clashes with the screening of World Cup fixtures.)

++++++
FRI NOV 25: World Cup Bingo Night - Kids Bingo 6pm, Football 7pm, Adults Bingo 9pm.

What could go better together than some Fifa World Cup action and some cash prize bingo? Exactly - so we're doing both on one evening, in order to continue to raise funds for the forthcoming clubhouse bar refurbishment. 

We'll have some fun bingo for kids (sweets as prizes, of course!) from 6.00pm, then the England v USA match at 7.00pm, before we get going with the adults' version of the numbers-up favourite from 9.00pm; cash and other spot prizes on offer as we raise money. 

Let's fill the clubhouse, please, footy / bingo fans!

++++++
And here's our recap of regularly-occurring events at The Green - be they weekly, fortnightly or monthly...


THU NOV 3 & 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.

++++++
THU NOV 10 & THU NOV 24 (EVERY SECOND & FOURTH THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH) - T@THEGREEN:
Join Us For A Cuppa & A Chat - Free Community Event, All Welcome

Having just reached its first anniversary, the community-focused fixture that is T@TheGreen continues during November.

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.

Have a chat with other folk from around the village and surrounding areas, or simply sit back, relax and take in the calming view across The Green from our bright and airy clubhouse facility - while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee and some light refreshments.

++++++
MONDAY & WEDNESDAY EVENINGS: Darts Teams In Full Flight

The winter Darts action continues for LGCC, with the club competing in both of the local Monday and Wednesday competitions. 

The Old Bill's Charity Darts League continues every Monday through winter months, while it's the Hemel Social Darts League on Wednesdays. Fixtures for both can be found via the 'Events' section of the LGCC website.

If you'd like more info or the chance to represent Levy in darting action, please contact Darts Secretary Roy Makins on 07312 080302 or pop along to one of their matches.

LOOKING AHEAD - DECEMBER

+ SUN DEC 11 (moved from Sun Dec 4 to avoid clash with World Cup): Monthly Quiz Night - Christmas Edition, hosted by Richard Walker

+ FRI DEC 16: Christmas Social - Christmas Party: Live music from Undercover

+ SAT DEC 24: 'The Darker Side Of Christmas' - Kim Darker sees us in to Christmas with a festive singalong

+ FROM SUN NOV 20 TO SUN DEC 18: WORLD CUP LIVE AT LGCC
Here at The Green, we'll be showing Fifa World Cup 2022 live in the clubhouse throughout November and December.

Screening on terrestrial TV, it's a chance for folk to come together and cheer on their favourite team over a drink in the warmth of the LGCC clubhouse.

As happened for the Euros, LGCC's Management Committee will be considering how best to serve all those attending with additional screens being considered once again.

The 'Events' section of the club's website (also displayed on the homepage), and LGCC's Facebook page, will show exactly when doors will be open to show matches. 

Some midweek afternoon opening will take place if mid-afternoon fixtures are of sufficient profile - and we'll be open as usual every evening.

There's likely to be some social events pinned around some England matches; details are still being finalised.
