Membership Renewal
		
		
		Annual renewal of membership of the Club is now due. Please contact a 
		Committee member to pay the subscription of 7 pounds.
		
		
		Facebook
		
		There are 
		now almost 2,000 members in the Opry Facebook community - and it's 
		growing all the time.  Keep up to date on the latest Opry happenings and 
		debates by joining in. It's often a very lively forum! Why not join the 
		Opry Club itself and enjoy reduced admission charges on Fridays and 
		Saturdays?
		
		Website
		
		There have 
		been 66,925 visits to our website since June 2014, and 1,159,316 hits. 
		Hopefully, this results in more people visiting the Club itself.
		
		Country Music Needs More 
		Support
		
		With bands 
		folding all too often these days it is increasingly urgent for  country 
		music fans to support the clubs and bands still in existence. The Opry 
		offers members free admission on a Saturday evening for the payment of 
		just two extra pounds on a Friday evening.  You can't get better than 
		that - two nights of live entertainment for just 6 pounds !  If you know 
		of any members who haven't been at the club for a while, why not 
		encourage them to come along again to enjoy the music, dancing and 
		keenly-priced drinks from the bar !  Since the start of 2012 the club 
		has been well-attended on Saturdays, and Fridays have also picked up 
		which is encouraging in these straitened economic times.  Visiting 
		parties (birthdays, hen and stag nights, etc) have helped to swell the 
		figures but we also need the members to support the club as much as 
		possible.   Spread the news among your friends and neighbours that the 
		Opry offers a great night out - the number of visiting parties 
		demonstrates that it is seen as a fun venue and is somewhere a bit 
		different to celebrate an event.   The Opry can be hired for private 
		functions too - even wedding receptions - at very competitive prices.l
