Membership meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of the month at 18:30 (6:30pm)

February 6, 2026

If you have been to one of our Superbowl parties in the past you know that it is a great day at the club and usually crowded! For the first time ever we decided to sell “reservations” for seats that cost $5 a person and when you show up you’ll get a drink ticket worth $5 if you reserved good for that day only.

This does NOT mean that this is a private event, this just means that we are trying to gauge the amount of people to expect that day. Here are some FACTS about this Superbowl Sunday:

  • The bar seating is first come first server, get there early if you want a seat at the bar!
  • The club opens at NOON on Superbowl Sunday
  • If you reserved a seat your reservation is good till: 5:30 (Kickoff), if you are not there by kickoff your seat may be given to someone that needs to and your reservation fee is NON-REFUNDABLE
  • THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
  • There might be standing room only, but come on out if you’d like!!
  • We have a heated smoking room where the game will also be on.

RESERVATIONS ARE SOLD OUT!

But you might still have a chance to watch the game. Please check the website and our Facebook posts (which also appear below, no Facebook required) OFTEN this has been posted about for quite awhile.

As a member of the club it is YOUR responsibility to keep up on what is going on. Attend meetings, show up at the club, we love to see everyone and make this a great place to hang out. There is no “no one told me”, be active and you will know…we’re not big on hand holding around here.
