SUMMARY:Be happy at the NCC!
DESCRIPTION:If you want to be happy\, then head to the NCC on the last Friday of every month because that’s when we hold our Happy Hour – which actually lasts for two hours from 6pm until 8pm.\nThe thing about Happy Hours\, regardless of how long they last for\, is that there are fabulous savings to be made. And when you add Happy Hour prices to products which are already cheaper than elsewhere\, you are on a win bonus!\nWe reduce the cost of five products during our Happy Hour nights\, including pints of Carlsberg\, one of our guest ales\, a boxed cider\, a large Gordon’s\, and a glass of medium wine – red during the winter and white in the warmer months.\nYou stand to save up to 20 per cent on all of the above. Sorry\, half pints and mixers are not included!\nLook forward to seeing you being very happy!

SUMMARY:Let those sausages sizzle!
DESCRIPTION:It’s been a while since barbeques have been part of the NCC itinerary\, so we thought it was time we did something about it. The result is that we will be holding a barbeque on the afternoon of Sunday 24 August. Sunday afternoon?! we hear you say. No need to worry because it’s a Bank Holiday weekend\, which means you can have some Sunday fun and not worry about working the next day!\nBangers and burgers will feature large\, as will corn on the cobs\, salads and other barbeque goodies. You will even get a free glass of Pimm’s.\nThe cost is just £10 per person and payment needs to be made in advance\, so give your name\, along with the appropriate sum of money\, to a member of  of the bar team and put your name on the form on the main noticeboard.\nLook forward to seeing you!
