THEME - Singalong Songs
Unlike many clubs, we remain open throughout the summer, but instead of having a guest in August we usually have a theme evening.

Performers are encouraged to dig out songs that everyone can join in with and the audience will sing along with enthusiasm! |

The TUDOR LODGE Charity Evening
Tudor Lodge are never short of ideas when it comes to organising an excellent evening at the club. John and Lynne are presently keeping their ideas for 2004 under wraps, but if last year is anything to go by, the evening will be tremendous fun and we will raise lots of money for charity. The target for this year is over £700. Can we do it?! We'll certainly make a huge effort to beat this.

house! |
