Our first Social Thursday kicks off on 27th April and by popular demand, I’ve been asked to organise 10 Pin Bowling.
 
It just so happens that Tenpin at Sixfields are offering a special deal for online bookings for Thursday nights. For the grand sum of £10, you get 2 games, a drink and a sharing platter of snacks. This offer is only available online so organising things is going to be a little tricky.
 
The plan will be to book for an 8:00pm start allowing those of us stuck at the shop until closing time a chance to get there and get booted.
 
If you want to join us, just let me know by email, phone etc and then pop into the shop with your £10. Once I have a group of 4 or more, I’ll place the booking online.
 
Clearly, spaces will be limited by availability so it’s important for us to get the booking in as early as possible. I’ve just checked and there are currently at least 12 spaces available.
 
Hopefully we’ll see you there!

​On Sunday 23rd April we’ve got Mares joining us for an Equipment Demo event in the pool. Mares will be bringing along all sorts of shiny new kit for you to look at and try out in the water. To help encourage as many of you as possible to attend, we will be offering a one-off 25% discount on any Mares equipment ordered on the day! If you feel like joining us for this event, just let me know and I’ll add you to the list.
 
Please feel free to invite your Dive Buddies along. If you need any kit for the pool, you’ll need to come to the shop at about 4:00pm and we can get you organised and the kit put on the van.

We are constantly trying to think of ways to make the Thursday evening Club pool sessions more interesting. In order to encourage more of you to get off the sofa and join us for some fun, we’ve decided to make the last Thursday of every month a Social Thursday rather than a pool night. We will be trying to come up with some fun things to do, much like the recent Warner Edwards Gin trip. Among the suggestions I’ve had so far are ten pin bowling, BBQs, film night, beer & a curry, the list goes on. I’ll be emailing around a week or so in advance with the next event. If you’ve any ideas, please let me know and we can see what we can get organsied. Nothing difficult to plan or expensive, just an opportunity for a get together. The list of Social Thursdays is:
 
Thursday 27th April
Thursday 25th May
Thursday 29th June
Thursday 27th July
Thursday 31st August
Thursday 28th September
Thursday 26th October
Thursday 30th November
 
As suggestions come in, I’ll try to fill up the list.
