What do you have lined up for the
Gentlemen’s Black Tie Dinner?
Pete Price returns for the third
consecutive year, along with ex-England
international and Arsenal legend Ray
Parlour. With his instantly recognisable
blond curls, Ray Parlour, the man tagged
“The Romford Pelé” by Marc Overmars,
rose through the ranks and broke into
the Arsenal side in 1992; he made more
than 460 appearances for Arsenal in his
12 years with the club and won a host
of trophies. The tenacious midfielder’s
medal haul includes three Premier
Leagues, four FA Cups, one League
Cup and one Winners’ Cup from the
now defunct UEFA Cup. We also have
some great finds to be auctioned off on
the evening.
British comedy is deservedly
famous; who is performing on
Comedy Night?
This year, “Mr Liverpool” Pete Price
is compering. There’ll be two British
comedians, as well as the very popular
Mick Miller; Mick has had a long career
on the live comedy circuit and is known
for his trademark hairstyle.
The Grand Finale at Royal Ascot
sounds like great fun; how much
money do you hope to raise?
Last year we raised $76,000, and this
year we aim to do much more to help
fund our two nominated charities, the
Gurkha Welfare Trust and Riding For
The Disabled.
Are the events for British people,
or for British Club members only,
or for everyone?
The Best of British events are open to
all, young and old, and there is definitely
something for everyone!
What do you have planned for the
Open House on 7 June?
The Open House coincides with our
annual Family Day, which has a British
Fair theme this year. It’s the only day of
the year when the Club is transformed
into a mini-carnival, with games, stalls,
rides and of course delicious food, as
well as special offers in celebration of
SG 50. It’s an event for the whole family.
