David Roberts 88th birthday party at East Glos

On Saturday 31st August long-standing club member, and all-round good egg, David Roberts held his 88th birthday party at East Glos, with 97 friends attending.

David, who has been a club member for over 45 years, has held an annual party since his eightieth birthday in 2011.

Guests enjoyed food from Pizza in the Park, provided by club member Richard Hancock, and the bar staff worked incredibly hard keeping the drinks flowing. As always, the superb music mix was delivered by club member Hans Beier.

The two videos below, filmed by Julian Wellings, truly demonstrate that East Glos is far more than just a place for people to play tennis, squash and hockey.

As ‘Happy Birthday’ by Stevie Wonder is played, David circles the room, dancing with all the ladies.

David addresses his guests, who then join in with ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’.
