1940s EXTRAVAGANZA LAUNCHES GOLF CLUB'S BUSY SOCIAL CALENDAR
Walsall Golf Club to celebrate St George's Day with 1940s night
Online, March 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - 1940s EXTRAVAGANZA LAUNCHES GOLF CLUB'S BUSY SOCIAL CALENDAR
One of the West Midlands' oldest golf clubs is to host a 1940s themed evening to celebrate St.George's Day.
Walsall Golf Club has joined forces with Pure Nostalgia to organise the April 23rd (7pm-12.30am) event, which will feature an indoor street party, a 1940s buffet including spam fritters and corned beef hash, and music from the era.
And guests will only be allowed to enter the 104-year-old venue if they are wearing 1940s costume, or red and white to celebrate England's patron saint.
Club Vice Captain Steve Ellis said: "One of the benefits of membership of Walsall Golf Club is the varied social programme.
"We have a packed calendar this year including a Ladies Night later this month, a 70s and 80s Night in May, the Captains Day in June and entertainment from a Jim Reeves tribute act in September.
"We also have a number of golfing events including the PGA Alliance Golf Competition in April, the Staffordshire PGA Matchplay event in May, and the West Bromwich Albion Former Players Association Golf Day and Dinner in June."
The 40s Night is the latest social event to be held at the Broadway club, following a sell-out performance from Take That tribute band Want U Back at the beginning of March, which was attended by over 130 members and guests.
Walsall Golf Club was established in 1907 and was designed by Alister MacKenzie, who was also responsible for the famous Augusta course, which is now the home of the US Masters.
Membership of the Golf Club is available both to playing and social members and with it the chance to enjoy the facilities of the Club and the wide range of social events. The Club has thriving ladies and juniors sections, so welcomes families and all types of players.
