We will be holding a Curry Night at The Long Hop on Friday 6th April (Good Friday) at 8.00pm in conjunction with The Taste of Spice Curry House, Wiveliscombe.

Menus will be issued later this month and numbers will be asked for from the start of February.

Further details to follow.

Our next social event at The Long Hop is a Poker Night on Saturday 11th February.

Bar opens at 7pm with first deal at 8pm.

There will be 2 tables of 10 players, with each table eliminating down to 5 players.  Remaining 5 from each table then join to play out to a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place – no chip carry over to the final table.

The 5 eliminations from each table will play a ‘plate’ final for a small prize.

There is a maximum of 20 players – entry to the event is by email to me (simon.rudd@sportinwellington.co.uk) only – it is not possible to manage posts on Facebook, messages to Committee Members or turn ups on the night – please pre-book to get involved.

Cost is £10 per person and a buffet is included.

Good luck!

We will be reprising the successful 20/20 social event that we hosted this past season when Wellington RFC and Oake Manor Golf Club visit us on Monday 3rd June 2012.

This event takes place over the weekend of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee which runs from 2-5 June inclusive.

Plans are also in hand for WCC to visit WRFC later in the 2011-2012 season for some hospitality and to take in a 1st XV game.

Terry Jones and his team from Wellington Rugby Club won the WCC Christmas Sports Quiz that was held at The Long Hop bar on the evening of Sunday 11th December; with a score of 97 out of 120 they took the prize by just one point.

Thanks to all thirteen teams who took part, to Simon Rudd for setting the questions and organising the event and Amanda Moysey for doing the bar and to those who prepared a buffet supper.

There are still a few places left for the WCC Christmas Meal which takes place at The Barley Mow on Tuesday 20th December at 8.00pm; three courses for £12.95 – contact David Derrick or Simon Rudd for details by Wednesday 14th December at the very latest.

We are planning to have a Poker Night at The Long Hop in February and a pre season event too, so look out for details of these events.

We have closed the entries for Simon Rudd’s Seasonal Sports Quiz that will be held at The Long Hop on Sunday 11th December from 8.00pm (bar opens at 7.30pm); twelve teams have opted to take part and the competition will be fierce for sure.

Our Christmas Dinner event at The Barley Mow on Tuesday 20th December can accept ten more people at the moment, but this could change at any moment and we need to advise of our meal requirements by this weekend ideally, so if you want to come then please search this site for the post that gives all the menu choices and ways to book your place and do the necessary!
