Booked my engagement party here last month, i cannot fault it at all! staff were great in making…read moresure everything was set up and ready, helped me arrange a DJ. Then on the night of the party, the staff behind the bar were lovely, cant quite remember their names due to the amount of drinks i had but i do remember they were lovely and friendly. The room is a fantastic size i recommend it to anyone planning a party its worth every penny! Thank you to all the staff a at the royal british legion!

While this is a members-only venue (although visitors are permitted if they have a card-carrying…read morespotter), the benefit to the wider public is that it offers a sizeable function room for hire - at a fraction of the price of what you'd pay for the same floor space elsewhere in town. Despite the club's primary purpose, the room is more suitable than you may imagine, especially following an extensive refurb. It comes with a large dance floor and the necessary PA rigging, although private DJs would be needed. It also has its own bar, and while mild on draught may not suit every 18th birthday, engagement or anniversary party, the wines, lagers and bottles - for an eyebrow-raising, competitive price - should tick all the boxes. For party-planners on a budget, the venue might not be the first thought, but it could end up being their best thought. Prospective viewings are permitted.

If you're looking for a new sport or fun outdoor activity, come check out the Sutton Sailing Club!…read moreEveryone in the club is super friendly and welcoming. Back in February, I was googling for sailing lessons near Birmingham and found about 5 options around the city. I ultimately decided on the Sutton Sailing Club for 3 reasons: walking proximity from my house, price for value, and more sailing hours with more instructors per students during lessons. At £150 for lessons for non-club members, this is a great value. The lessons occur over 4 consecutive Saturdays in April or October from 9AM-4:30PM. Most classes have 12-16 students and students are paired with an instructor. Most learning is spent on the water, with brief breaks for classroom instruction. The lessons include the RYA Level 1 & 2 book and log book for certification. If you'd rather watch, Sunday afternoons the club hold races for their members, which are good fun. The pond offers good views from the park, clubhouse or steakhouse.

When we lived in Kingstanding we'd often pop along to the Royal British Legion on College Road…read more It's always been a friendly social club with a nice mix of people so we knew we'd bump into someone we knew, and even if we didn't the regular members are quite happy to have a chat. It's a members club, you can either join for the year or pay 50p admission on the door. We just used to pay the fee whenever we went down, but thinking about it now I reckon we'd have saved a packet if my fella had joined and just signed me in as a guest each time. There's a large car park and the Royal British Legion have recently built some rather nice smoking huts outside complete with benches so on a warm day you can just sit outside rather than popping in and out whenever you want a fag. Inside the club is on two levels with a large seating area downstairs and a snooker room upstairs with two full size tables. You can borrow snooker cues but they are not much cop so most regulars bring their own, there are spaces to lock up your personal cues upstairs and all you need to supply is a padlock. There is a small bar upstairs in the snooker room but it's not open very often so you have to go downstairs for your drinks and carry them back up, I suppose this is not ideal if you have mobility problems but then I suspect the stairs would be too much to cope with anyway. Downstairs is comfortable and laid out like one large lounge rather than a bar, seating is plentiful although this place gets so busy on a weekend that there is sometimes still no room to sit down and you have to grab a seat when you can. This isn't a problem though and is testament to how popular this little social club is. Most of the regulars are older ex-servicemen and the majority are very friendly, don't be alarmed though as very few of them keep on about the war although some are kind of like Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses! You can buy a selection of sandwiches, as well as crisps from the Royal British Legion. The sandwiches are homemade before being wrapped in cling film and kept behind the bar so are not always fresh, I think common sense should tell you that if you visit at 8pm these cobs and sandwiches have probably been there all day so will not be at their best. I love their cheese and onion crusty cob which only costs about £1 and is delicious - even if they have no cobs on the day you visit there is an excellent chippy just over the road so grab yourself a meal and eat it at one of the benches on the car park! Sometimes the Royal British Legion will hold a special event which they charge to attend, in the Summer we went to the Family Funday with the kids and it was great. I think it was £1 per person but for that the kids spent literally hours on the bouncy castle and also had a burger and hot dog off the BBQ, there was balloon modelling and face painting too so they had a whale of a time. On a Saturday night there is sometimes a singer on, the girl we saw a few months back was fantastic. She was dressed in a cocktail dress and sang all the old tunes in such a wonderfully nostalgic voice - I saw several elderly people with tears in their eyes that night. If you live locally to the Royal British Legion pop in and show your support!
