Saturday 14 March Ashley Stone & All Jazzed Up

This coming Saturday, 14 March, ASHLEY STONE is singing at THE CURZON. CONSERVATIVE CLUB. 362 Oxford road, Reading, Berkshire , RG30 1AQ Tel: 0118 9590 981. Those of you who came along to our Xmas Party will (I hope) remember what a great singer he is and how easy the music is to dance to.

The Curzon is a private “members only” club, but they are happy to allow members of All Jazzed Up entry to the event for £1.00/head. There is a bar and a beautiful dance floor. A number of us will be going along, so it would be good if some of you could come along too, just mention me or All Jazzed up, or just say you’ve come along to dance! We will get there for around 8.30 pm. The Curzon Club is right next to the new (ish) Tesco’s on the Oxford Road on the site of the old Battle Hospital. The Club has an agreement with Tesco to allow people attending the club to park in Tesco’s car park. I think you have to enter the car park via Portman Road.
