PLEASE READ THIS - WE HAVE MOVED TO THE GALA CLUB every Friday
After many years holding the CWC on Friday's at the Dowty Club, we had to move away from 04 SEPT 2009 onwards. This was due to (1) Dowty’s sudden and unreasonable demands for massive increases in Friday room hire fees and (2) the worrying uncertainty of continued availability of the Dowty venue going through 2010.
So, from 2010 we have moved our ‘home’ to the excellent GALA CLUB in Longford, Gloucester (see address above) and we meet EVERY FRIDAY.
Sadly, there have been some malicious rumours going around that SILVERFOX CWC is closing down as we are no longer based at Dowty's! This is totally untrue - just look below at the full program we have fixed for 2010! Just ask any of the regular guests and you'll be assured that the SILVERFOX CWC is going strong and the best place to be for great live country music, in a friendly atmosphere, every Friday night!
SILVERFOX CWC has really flourished during 2009, with typically 70-100 guests every week, and we've had many truly great nights with brilliant live acts! We look forward now to a fantastic 2010 program, continuing to thrive and grow the club and enjoying our renowned great country music evenings in a friendly and fun atmosphere!
Running a club is very time consuming, and is a year-round commitment. The club is run on a non-profit basis, and the aim is simply to cover all the costs. I put a lot of effort into striving to make this club the success that many tell me it is. I would like to thank all the many loyal supporters of the club who attend regularly and who make it all so worthwhile.
We warmly welcome newcomers of course - it is not 'clicky' in any way - so whether you are single, or a couple, why not come along and try it? You are certain to make new friends. We look forward to seeing you there!
Warm regards,
Malcolm Humphries (Silverfox)
