🃏🏆 TRIMMERS ARMS POKER CLUB RONNIE’S BACK! 🏆🃏

Well, look who’s back amongst the winners! 👀👏

A massive well done to Ronnie last Thursday’s poker champion! 🏆

After spending the summer season on the bowling greens, Ronnie’s swapped his bowls for poker chips and wasted no time getting back to his winning ways! 🎳♠️

Great to have you back Ronnie, although I’m sure a few of the lads were hoping you’d stayed at the bowls a bit longer! 😂👏

We’ve got private bar facilities, toilets, plenty of space and a fantastic atmosphere. We can also discuss different room layouts and options to suit your event.

And don’t forget, we have live bands playing most Saturday nights, so if you’re having a party and fancy a bit of live entertainment too, that can work brilliantly! 🎶🍻

We know how expensive organising parties can be these days, so we always try to keep things affordable and make everything as straightforward as possible.
