Anniversary Big Success

The recent anniversary dinner dance at the Leyland Hotel was hailed a major success, although under a cloud of sorrow, the many people who attended said this was the best Christmas / anniversary party ever, and that is a tall order as we have had lots of good parties in the past. Lesley certainly played a blinder when she found this venue. I’m sure it will be difficult to go elsewhere for next years event. The number of members and guests at the party was certainly impressive with 80 people sitting down for the meal and the all inclusive bar. I must say I liked the carvery style meal with lots of choice of courses to suit everyone. The free wine on the tables was not the best ever tasted but believe me I’ve had worse, but by all accounts the wine runners were kept busy all night replacing bottle after bottle. What was most impressive is how well everyone turned out, the order of the day was mostly dinner jackets or lounge suits for the chaps and posh frock and gowns for the ladies. A rather splendid evening by all accounts.  The fun really started when the all inclusive bar opened and the disco started in earnest. By this time most people had had enough to drink to render any shyness on the dance floor totally defunct.  The floor really hotted up when the venue provided silly props like blow up guitars and umbrellas to go with various tracks, you must visit the photo gallery to see how silly it got. The free bar was well attended by our resident drinkers and full advantage was taken of the shorts and draughts on offer, it was a pity it all had to finish. Thanks to all our visitors, many of them too regular not to be members by now, Goldwings North West members for making the effort to support the club and travel from fields as far away as the Isle of Man and also to the Goldwings North Wales party of 10 who attended the event in force, well done and thank you to you all. I know Lesley would have been really chuffed.
