Tyne-Tees Centre Dinner Dance – 20th November 2010
We are hoping for a good turn out for our Dinner Dance in November. You can get full details and the application form for tickets by clicking HERE. Please note the closing date of 15th October for sending us your booking and payment. Last year we had the unexpected pleasure and honour of winning the Nuffield Gold Cup that sparked the idea of a Dinner Dance and it went down so well that the Committee concluded we should do it again in the hope that it will revive what was once an annual feature in the Centre’s calendar. We didn’t win the Cup for this year but we are still doing extremely well in the membership stakes and lots of events for our members, new and old. With lots of trophies to give away there’s good reason to celebrate.
