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
