Captain's summer ball

[HomerJSimpson]

We stopped doing these formal events. We have a much younger demographic especially in the male section although the we have a lot of younger ladies as well. We tried to do one (can't remember if it was just before or just after Covid when everything fully reopened but it was cancelled due to poor sales

Our "gents' dinner" stopped running a few years ago.

We don't have one but I can't see a rave catching on. Some of us lived through that era the first time and it was hard work!

I haven't had occasion to wear a tie since 2014.
I haven't worn any of my three hole-in-one ties.

The last AGM I attended a couple of years ago, the chap who is this year's captain wore shorts and a polo top. I feel I am at the right club for me.
But I do own a black jacket and I own and know how to tie a real bow tie, just in case I actually fancy attending a "fancy" dress event.

Evening events at the Club have diminished since covid. I think folk got out of the habit.

That includes black tie and "come as you are" events.

I played and attended the Golf Club Secretary Final at Saunton Sands, so I had to wear a Jacket and Tie, cannot think of the last time I had to do that, in OZ or England, borrowed the Jacket and Tie.

That's the Golf Secretaries for you, the Club recognises it's in a holiday resort, and is usually very laid back

There always seems to be a couple of places that require a jacket and tie, so it's useful to have them for those occasions.

Just imagine how many ties Tobybarker’s mate has, especially if they make Albatross ones.

 

[Neilds]

Even the last cruise I went on did away with the formal nights and made them ‘evening chic’ or something. Some still went full dickie bow

Anyone else got a Kingholer, I still have mine which was presented to me 40 years ago.
When I retired I swore that I would wear a jacket and tie as little as possible. Apart from two weddings and a handful of funerals managed to stay that way.
Strangely I still have about 20 ties in my wardrobe.
Need to get a new suit, and probably tie, for my grand daughters wedding next year.
