MGR Social Club

Halloween Evening

The 25th October saw over 100 members attend the club’s Halloween Evening at the Crofton Hall.

As you can see from the photographs, many of our members took advantage of the occasion to dress up in their normal evening wear, and what a scary looking bunch they are!
The evening was a great success, however some had to leave early to ensure they arrived home before sunrise.

Walking Weekend

March saw over 20 club members travel down to Eastbourne for a long weekend. Some superb coastal walks and stunning scenery on the South Downs ensured an excellent weekend.

The photo shows some of the club members who have just climbed to the top of the Downs at Cuckmere Haven, ready for the walk back along the coastal path to Eastbourne.

More walking weekends are planed for this year.

Jazz Parade

Ah, Spring is here at last and Jazz bands play under the colourful brollies for the crowds and a nearly young man’s fancy… well, trad jazz helps keep you young in MGR Social Club… Jimbo the parade leader doesn’t look like he approves. Must keep his brollie ladies in order!

MGR Christmas Big Bash

A great band – East End (inserted right) played to over 270 ravers into the small hours at Oakley House on Bromley Common. Some of the earliest MGR members mingled with our newer friends and a terrific night was had by all. East End can often be seen playing at Botley Hill Farmhouse

Bikers had their usual fancy ride to celebrate Christmas – I’m not at all certain of the fairy though.

Bonfire Night

Another Bonfire night went with a big bang as usual at John & Jan’s. I still can’t think how it was that John went up in smoke as the guy – he was top man earlier this year, must have done something wrong!

Why the garage? Was it too loud? Wet? No! Jan’s hot potatoes were on! Oh well then – drinks all round..

Halloween Disco

Well over 100 people came for another great night at Crofton Halls, with many disguised so well I wouldn’t have let ‘em in! Others came, well, dressed. We all seemed to mix all right though and no-one was eaten. The music and fun rolled on ’till early hours and then monsters were put to rest again.

I don’t know the names of our winning Dracula and Bride, but I hope they’ll be happy together!

Wanderers Back In Fold

Our intrepid trekkers did manage to conquer the Highlands Way. Unfortunately the weather was very wet on the first day and was well, variable throughout the 10 days. A few blisters, quite a few incidents, undoubtedly an experience as their pictures show. I daren’t ask what’s next.

120 at our Gangsters and Molls Fancy Dress Dance

A Rare Breed …at Crofton Halls. Yes, you recognise them, it’s the MGR Gang, can you stop them spending your hard earned cash? You may have seen some in working clothes on posters marked ‘No Reward’ but snapped here in their good time kit with their fancy friends at our fancy disco. Outrageous! …Wot next?

The West Highlands, Scotland – here we come!

I bet they wish for sights and weather like this when the MGR hard trekkers hit the granite for tem days in September. Six members have practised for this personal achievement, the Great Highland Way ending in Fort William, the rest of us think they’re mad!
