FRI NOV 3 - PRIZE BINGO NIGHT
Join us for a fun evening of bingo with cash prizes to be won.

LGCC members, their family & friends are welcome for a 'house' full of fun, hosted by Events Co-Ordinator Sandra Malloy.

Bingo cards and dabbers will be provided. Please bring cash on the evening to keep things simple for entry fees and prizes.

The bar will be open from 8.00pm, with eyes down at 8.30pm!

SUN NOV 5 - MONTHLY QUIZ NIGHT 
Continuing in its regular first-Sunday-of-the-month slot, you're welcome once again to Leverstock Green's Monthly Quiz Night. 

There'll be a specially-themed round to mark Guy Fawkes Night, as well as plenty of other light-hearted material to keep you puzzling.

Starting at 7.45pm, with the clubhouse and bar open from around 7.00pm, it's time to put those thinking caps for a mix of different rounds with nothing too intellectually heavyweight or off-putting.

Quiz teams can be formed of any number you'd like to bring. The entry fee of £2 per person is divided between the top performers. New players are always very welcome - either as a whole team, or as individuals joining others.

November's host is Richard Walker.

TUE NOV 7 - CHRIS LAWRANCE'S BANJO BASH: Bar 8.00pm, Music 8.15pm
Chris Lawrance and his merry band of fiddlers, pluckers and strummers are back once again for their first-Tuesday-of-the-month festival of old-time music.

Keeping that bluegrass and traditional sound very much live, musical maestros based locally and beyond treat LGCC members to the sound of some foot-tapping numbers that are sure to put a smile on your face.

The gang usually get going from around 8.15pm at the latest. Come along and have a drink while you sit back and enjoy the good stuff.

THU NOV 9 & THU NOV 23 (every second & fourth Thursday of the month) - T@THEGREEN: Join Us For A Cuppa & A Chat - Free Community Event, All Welcome
The fantastic community-focused fixture that is T@TheGreen continues into the Autumn & Winter months here at LGCC.

Our get-together,  between 10am and 12noon on every second and fourth Thursday morning of each month, is a chance for folk to simply pop into the clubhouse for a cup of tea or coffee and have a chat with other local people - some of whom may really appreciate the chance to spend time in the company of like-minded others.

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.

SAT NOV 11, 9.00PM - SATURDAY SOCIAL AT LGCC: Live Music from 'Hope n Glory' (Ska & Two-Tone Tribute)
Returning to LGCC to keep you all skanking to their sounds, it's the superb 'Hope n Glory'.

They are a Ska & Two-Tone tribute band, playing all the big hits from the genre within the sweet-spot of that 1970s & 80s era; Madness, The Specials, The Beat, Bad Manners and many more - they've got all the sounds covered.

The songs are still big today, so this is a generation of music where popularity really does endure.

Free to attend with no advance booking is required, members should feel welcome to bring family & friends along for a great time!

The gig is set to kick off around 9pm but earlier arrivals are advised. It was packed for them last time they played The Green back in June - so no reason to believe it won't be busy again.

Oi Oi!
