It is the Twelfth Club Night of 2021 and as we are now able to meet up Face to Face once again as restrictions have been fully lifted although like most bars and restaurants there are still a few covid rules that still need to be kept and those of the Thorntree are the same as elsewhere… Below are the rules for the Thorntree Inn… (extract from a few weeks back)

All of us here at the Thorntree Inn welcome the move into beyond level zero. However, there are still mandatory procedures to adhere to which includes the wearing of face coverings upon entering the premises and moving around our venue. Track and Trace is still in place for which we are using the Check in Scotland app and have the QR codes conveniently placed around the building. Contact details can also be taken manually if you do not have access to the app.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Club Night… in between times take care and stay safe

Yes, I can’t believe that I am thinking about and organising our Christmas Night out and it is now into  October as I write this. After discussions with quite a few people it was suggested the Giancarlo’s Italian in Tranent as a venue so to that end I have booked a reservation for 25 people. The advantage is that it is central for everyone and it is right on the major bus routes.

Now the criteria….

Venue:                 Giancarlo’s

Address:              119 High Street, Tranent EH33 1LW

Telephone No: 01875 616884

Date of Meal:    Saturday 4^th December 2021

Time:                    20:00

Location:             Main Restaurant

Meal Type:         Restaurant Menu

 £40/Head

Note: this is a Kitty value and hopefully will cover the meal and some drinks. If the bill comes to more than this then obviously we will need to split the extra between us.

MY CRITERIA…

Are you going —– YES or NO

(Can you respond to me at bob.gm4uyz@talktalk.net whichever way you decide, ASAP)

If YES then I need from you the following:

• How many are going 1 or 2 or how many?
• First Names
• DEPOSIT of £10/HEAD or FULL PAYMENT as soon as possible to confirm going.
• The full amount needs to be paid by the 28^th November as I need to confirm the booking with the restaurant on the 18^th November

Payment methods

• CASH
• CHEQUE made payable to Robert Glasgow
• PayPal
  • Go the club’s Website
  • Click on the “Large” Donate button
  • It will display a photo of me and underneath it will say Robert Glasgow @cpsarcbobglasgow Port Seton Prestonpans East Lothian
  • Click on Send
  • Enter your amount
  • Add your to Callsign to the NOTE Field
  • Click on Continue
• Bank Transfer
  • Send me an email and I will give you the account information

It is important that you let me know your decision as soon as you can plus help me get the money in as I just hate chasing people. Thanks in advance for all your help here.
