WSC 10th Anniversary Celebrations

Why not kick off the Club's 10th anniversary celebrations on Friday evening by taking part in our free to enter general knowledge quiz, hosted by our resident quiz master, and based in part on 2016 with prizes for the top teams. A perfect appetizer prior to joining us downstairs to put on your dancing shoes and enjoy the music of Bill Smarme and his Rock ‘n’ Roll Trio. Old time rock ’n’ roll from the fifties, sixties and beyond!

Grand Slam tennis comes to the big screen with both singles finals being shown on Saturday and Sunday afternoon in the Wharf with strawberries and clotted cream and Pimm’s being available to purchase from the bar, along with our usual range of drinks and snacks.

Join us on Saturday evening for a night of irresistible soul, disco and dancing - and now football! Headlining the evening is Bath's own soul sensation, O'Rael, bringing his powerhouse vocals and electrifying stage presence to the WSC stage. Performing timeless classics from legends such as Marvin Gaye, Percy Sledge and Otis Redding, O'Rael's smooth soul voice and infectious energy are guaranteed to fill the dancefloor. If you've got rhythm in you, he'll bring it out!

Before the live show, the resident WSC DJs will be spinning a handpicked selection of 60s and 70s Stax and Motown favourites, alongside feel-good Disco anthems that will get the party started. After the music, there will be a short pause to set up for the World Cup match, England v Norway. The bar will be open throughout the evening in what is certain to be a family-friendly - and air conditioned! - atmosphere.

Prepare to be thrilled by the Sunday evening screening of Strangers on a Train, commonly regarded as one of Hitchcock’s most iconic and ingenious films. A great way to top off both the Wimbledon Men’s Final and WSC’s 10th Anniversary celebrations!

STRANGERS ON A TRAIN

Alfred Hitchcock, USA, 1951, 101m, PG. With Farley Granger, Robert Walker, Ruth Roman

More tennis! Celebrity tennis star Guy Haines wants rid of his unfaithful wife, Miriam, so he can marry the elegant and beautiful senator’s daughter, Anne Morton. He is recognised on a train by pushy Bruno Anthony, who hates his domineering father and describes his plan for the perfect murder for which there will be no obvious motive and therefore no suspicion from the police. Flustered by Bruno’s enthusiasm for the proposal, Guy plays along just to humour him and eventually manages to get away, leaving behind his cigarette lighter. However, Bruno interprets Guy’s manner as acquiescence to the plan and sets his side of the bargain into motion.

Full of typical Hitchcock flourishes, this densely-plotted, brilliantly acted and highly atmospheric adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s first novel includes the tense and celebrated tennis match sequence. 

Free entry to the events with food available to purchase and bar open for the sale of drinks and snacks.

To help us safely manage numbers, please register for the Friday quiz, the Saturday music night, the Saturday World Cup football screening, and the Sunday Film.
