A Happy New Year with the Motown Devotions

The Club House was bursting at the seams as members and their guests gathered to say goodbye to 2018 and to welcome in the year of 2019.  As usual, the notion of "smart casual" was totally ignored by the ladies who donned their party frocks and revelled in their haut couture ensembles for the evening. The gentlemen were somewhat more varied with their evening apparel ranging from just smart casual to extremely smart casual to smart formal - and with an element of fancy dress thrown in for good measure.

The Captains' Gala Evening

Arriving at the Captains' Gala Evening the guests were met by a vision in black leather with glowing flamingo pink tights. Behind the 60s shades was Captain Maggie - waiting at the top of the barroom steps to greet the guests and welcome them to what was to be a great evening.  The bar was humming with excitement - the dress code of smart casual being ignored by many of the ladies who were dressed exceedingly smartly in their colourful, fashionable and elegant summer frocks.

Kenilworth at Minchinhampton May 2018
