January 2009

At a time when an increasing number of Clubs & Pubs are calling “last orders please” for the last time, North Enfield Conservative Club are ‘bucking the trend’ and leaping into the year 2009 with a lavish refurbishment of the club’s famous ballroom & dining hall.

Early in January sees the start of a project which will include a new air –conditioning system, new suspended ceiling with new lighting, new wall panelling, re-vamping of the stage, a new bar, and improved cloakroom facilities. There will also be an overhaul of the halls renowned sprung dance floor.

The work is scheduled to commence on Monday 5^th January, and will last for six weeks. Thanks to meticulous planning however, interruption of the club’s busy entertainments programme will be kept to a minimum. The Saturday night dance programme will continue as normal, as will the seven day a week catering service. Meals will be served in the lounge during the hall refurbishment period.

Much of this major project is being financed by a very generous bequest left to the club by the late Mrs Jean Cook, widow of Alderman Bill Cook,a former Mayor of Enfield. Bill & Jean were well known members of the Club who supported and attended on a regular basis. In recognition of her generosity a plaque will be placed in the “new hall”.

Happy New Year
