Lincolnshire and Humber Club Christmas Lunch 2017

10th January 2018

238 guests attended the Lincolnshire and Humber Club’s Christmas lunch at the Beachcomber Club, Humberston. On arrival, guests could not escape Jo and Rosie selling raffle tickets at the entrance to the Starlight Room.  A northerly wind did not make it the warmest place for ticket selling, so a special thank you goes out to Jo and Rosie for doing so well.

After a good lunch, the Club Patron, Mr John Clugston DL, thanked the 20 companies and all the guests for their support of the event and also thanked the Committee members for their hard work in making it another successful event.

The ‘fiver’ raffle for a gallon bottle of whisky got the proceedings off to a lively start and the winner kindly donated it back for the auction.

Our after-lunch speaker, Billy Flywheel entertained the guests and mystified everyone with his magical tricks.  The finale was with committee member and event compere, Nick Borst who performed a two hour, non-stop auction, again with his usual amusing repartee and speed.  Auction items ranged from Manchester United football tickets, head phones and a vast array of cuddly toys, spirits, wine and chocolates.

The Committee were very appreciative of the many donated items for the auction and raffle from both companies and individuals.

This year’s Christmas Lunch will be on Friday, 7 December at the same venue, make sure you have the Lincolnshire event of the season in your diary and book you place now!
