On Friday 21st June, the longest day, the club will be closed as we will be lighting the BBQ at the dock from 6pm. We hope you will come along, bring some food & enjoy a get together around the fire. You can also camp over if you like – remember it’s Lytham Club Day on Saturday! If there are any musicians amongst you, please feel free to bring your instruments and sing & play to your heart’s content – I can’t guarantee we won’t join in though! Of course this event is weather dependent so if it lets us down, we will confirm postponement & the club will be open as usual. Fingers crossed for some summer warmth & sunshine!!
