Club Events
Whether it’s a dining in or ball, a notable speaker or garden party, there’s a whole host of events organised by, and for, Strangers’ Club members – all being a great excuse for members to enjoy themselves with likeminded people.
The Societies and Groups at the Strangers’ Club organise a range of events, including external speakers, competitions and a variety of visits.
Strangers’ Club events provide an excellent way of making the most of membership. Enjoy time with other members, often with their partners. Come to the Summer Dinner Parties and Barbeques, Formal Dining-In and lunches such as the Beaujolais lunch.

Snooker Night
The Club Snooker Societies welcomes members, partners and guests to come and enjoy an evening of Snooker and drinks from the Bar.
A mix of singles and doubles games shall be played throughout the night. Whether you’re a dab hand, or just enjoy a game, come and join in.
For years, the Snooker Club has been playing the City Club and missing out on the coveted toilet seat prize, so let’s fine tune our skills to help beat them in future.
This is an ideal event to invite your partners and friends to and prospective new members.
For those that are hungry, food shall be ordered in on the night – please bring cash to pay for it.
Beefsteak and Burgundy Lunch
And now for something a little different ...
Today's lunch will feature food and wine and a little light hearted banter. To entertain you there will be three short speeches by members. One on the white wine being served, one on the red wine and finally one on the meal. Hopefully, each of the speakers will finish with an amusing joke or observation to keep the lunch flowing.
