MEMBERS FEEDBACK FROM RECENT EVENTS
October 2011 - Present
Speakeasy - 21st Oct 2011
“Fabulous evening; Loved the venue and the singer, Brilliant that everyone was in 1920's costumes. Really enjoyed the black jack lesson between the sets.”
“I absolutely loved this event!!! The secrecy, location, decoration, effort put in to create the right mood, the hidden alcohol, the persuasion to dress up (and everyone really making the effort in that department), the Black Jack (even though I didn't get chance to play ooops) the lovely efforts from Lisa with the imagery (talking point for the initial 'quiet' period of the event), and of course the best part of all as always was the company (met a lovely newbie couple and usual great fun with a good few of my fave Spicers) I'd totally loooooove to do this event again - 1920's is one of my fave eras and the buzz around this event created a fantastic atmosphere - thanks for such a fab eve! Do not miss this event if it comes around again!!!”
