BACKGROUND
Alvingham Social
Club was formed in
1980 to cater for, and encourage, the social life of the villages of Alvingham and North Cockerington.
The purpose of the club is to provide a welcoming, social atmosphere for all its members, at the lowest
possible cost. Since then it has grown from strength to strength and has now become the centre of the village social
scene.
It continues to be a low profit making
members club keeping prices for our members extremely low. The Social Club is separate from the Village Hall, but works closely
with it, for the benefit of all the residents of the villages. It caters for all the family, within the licensing laws, and
the rules of the club.
The club is open to members and guests three nights a week, Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
Regular activities include, Karaoke nights, Sunday night quizzes, Film nights, as well as regular “pub” games such
as Darts, Dominos, and Pool. A recent addition bringing the club right up to date is a Wii game console, using the 9ft big
screen to host bowling leagues, and tennis matches. Once a month we have Film nights, showing all the latest blockbuster films...free
of charge to members, £1 for guests.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
Food is an important ingredient in the life of
the club. Hot Pots are available every night, home cooked. Friday night meals when caterers permit, and in the summer
regular BBQ’s on the decked patio area, have become very popular.
Draught
lager and bitter is available with a selection of bottled ales and beers also sold. There is a wide selection of spirits to
choose from together with various bins of wines that can be selected. A range of soft drinks are stocked including freshly
brewed coffee and tea.
The social club provides bars for all of the functions at
the village hall and thanks to its well appointed and stocked bar it has become a key factor in the success in renting out
the hall for parties, weddings, dances etc.
EVENTS
Annual
activities include the very popular Spring Dinner, attended by most of the members, and the popular Christmas Dinner
organised by the Village Hall committee.
Other
events in the year include the ever popular Murder Mystery Nights, Wine Tasting nights and many birthday parties of local
residents, members and friends.
Christmas is a magical time at the Social club, the hall is decorated
and becomes very festive. Christmas Eve, and New Years Eve are highlights, and even Father Christmas pays a visit to all the
children if they have been good!!
COMMUNITY
Above all, the club exists to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you want a quiet pint with a friend, or a
more lively night of dancing and celebrating, The Alvingham Social Club has it all.
MEMBERSHIP
What does it cost? All members pay an annual subscription of just £10

all prospective members have to be approved by the committee at their monthly meeting. This is a formality, but one we take
seriously.

from outside the two villages. However if our membership numbers reach our limit, priority will go to Alvingham and Cockerington
