Welcome to The Minnis
May 2008:
Greetings Website and Menu Readers!
Time for an update of the ‘goings on’ and the ‘doings’ here at The Minnis since we have left you bereft of news since Mid March.
So here we go….our Easter Carvery made Henry VIII’s Midsummer Eve’s feast at Hampton Court seem quite pitiful to be frank, though swan was thin on the ground.
The Minnis Golf Society Tournament followed hot on its heels and proved to be an outstanding success in terms of the day on the course and the shindig back here afterwards. Members behaved with impeccable decorum (cough, cough) and were a shining example of Minnis Bay respectability (splutter, splutter). Remember we’re always looking for new members, especially since we can’t find a few of the current ones who are still missing from that day! Chris Avery celebrated his win with true jubilance in the bar in only the way Chris can. Anne Marie Avery was the top lady and Ken Underwood won the ‘longest thingy of thing’ that I don’t understand when it comes to golf and ‘nearest the thingy’ as well as a plethora of raffle prizes.
Quiz Night was an absolute blast with new teams winning prizes. Fun, intellect, drink as well as money raised for charity. £150 was raised by both events for The MacMillan Nurses and we must proffer enormous ‘THANK YOUS’ to Bill and Jill West for organising a sterling quiz night as always.
The new menu is a resounding success and Jazz Gourmet Nights are fit to busting, just eight places left for 8th June when
Note To Self debut their mellow take on classic Jazz standards.
Lets pray for good weather on the coming Bank Holiday Monday, that’s the 26th May. We’re putting Jarrod & Jim a.k.a The Jazz Police out to pasture on the patio between 1pm and 4pm. Bless ‘em, they need to build up their s.p.f. for the coming months! If it rains..we’ll just give them a brolly!
Finally, once upon a time there were three little boys who were going to do a skydive…..landing near you soon!
