Clandon Social"It is a great way to get to know other people in the Clandons"Our aim is simply to provide an opportunity for all residents from East and West Clandon to get to know each other and keep in touch through a variety of events, information, services and assistance. We welcome new and current villagers from both East and West Clandon to join us. 
What we OfferClandon Social EveningsStart 8pm and finish 10pm.Telephone the hostess beforehand to reserve your place, preferably the week before, so that shopping can be done. A great way to catch up with friends and to meet new ones. Really friendly and relaxed. Dinner Party GroupTwice a year, groups of four willing couples create dinner party groups. Each couple provides just one course. A starter/main/dessert/cheese. It’s a good way of meeting new faces and the evenings are great fun. The Dinner Party Groups are organised at the end of December each year. All those currently on the list remain on the list unless they ask to be taken off. New people who are interested in joining are always welcome. Winter Parties - for adults onlyQuite often held in The Poppy Room, Royal British Legion, West ClandonApprox imately 2/3 weeks before the party, all members are contacted by a Rep, to find out if they are coming. Each household brings a dish big enough to feed six people. Either a chilli/curry, jacket potatoes/garlic bread or a salad or a pudding. Each household may also need to make a small donation on the night for the hire of the Poppy Room (approximately £1- 2 per person). The Poppy Room has a very reasonable paying bar. 
Summer Parties - for adults onlyMembers are contacted 2/3 weeks before the party by your Rep, to establish numbers and dishes.
