Friday Night is Poker Night
At West Drayton Social Club
10 PRIZES TO BE WON EVERY FRIDAY
WELCOME to the summer edition of News While You Booze. Well I say Summer!! I’m hoping Summer falls on a Saturday this year so that I can enjoy it!
THEREhave been lots of things happening since the last copy including the Easter Fun Day, the Swing and Soul Night and the celebrations for the Queen’s 90th birthday where everyone enjoyed a right royal knees up to the music of Dave Dawson. There was also a Community Quiz night and an ABBA tribute night so we have had a very busy time. Look out for photos in this edition, you may spot a familiar face or two! The Centre also had a stall at the May Fayre on the Green recently which was very successful especially as we were blessed with a lovely sunny day. We produced some leaflets to hand out to promote the Centre and Social Club and as such have already received new memberships, which is great news.
THE Social Club also recently held it’s AGM and minutes from this are available from the office for anyone who is interested. Don’t forget to use the suggestion box in the bar, we’d love to hear your feedback, news and any new ideas for the club.

from the kids from Cherry Lane Primary school. The day was topped off by a good old English singalong with ‘Sweetie’. Here are some photos from the event…
