Sue & Ron’s 50th Anniversary Party
You’re Invited to
Sue & Ron’s Golden Night!
Join us for a night of music, memories and mischief as we celebrate 50 years of love, laughter and putting up with each other.
Saturday 26th July 2025
50
50 Years of Love & Laughter
Sue and Ron Stout tied the knot in 1975 – the year Bohemian Rhapsody topped the charts, petrol cost 16p per litre, and Sue earned £52 per month at Midland Bank. Half a century later, they’re still going strong (with only minor disagreements over the telly remote).
This July, we’re throwing them a golden anniversary bash worthy of five fabulous decades together – and you’re invited to join the party!
Bring your dancing shoes, your best singing voice, and let’s raise a glass to 50 years of unconditional love and expert-level compromise.

Live Music: The Foundations
Get ready to build up some serious memories…
We’re thrilled to welcome The Foundations – the legendary British soul band best known for the smash hits “Build Me Up Buttercup” and “Baby Now That I’ve Found You”. With their irresistible melodies, brassy arrangements and unforgettable grooves, The Foundations were one of the few British acts of the 1960s to successfully break into both UK and US charts.
Their music is all about energy, joy, and getting people on their feet – and that’s exactly what they’ll be doing at Sue & Ron’s Golden Anniversary bash. Expect two electrifying live sets filled with Motown-infused classics and more singalongs than you can shake a tambourine at.
There’s also a personal connection to this performance: Sue and Ron are good mates with Alan from The Foundations, who used to play in a band called Joker alongside Bob – Ron’s twin brother. So when the band takes the stage, it’s not just music… it’s family.
Expect dancing, singing, and maybe even a conga line. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Feast, Fizz & Fun
A delicious mixed buffet will be served at 20:15 to keep everyone fuelled for the dancefloor.
A fully stocked bar will be open all night long – whether you’re partial to a pint, a prosecco, or a cheeky cocktail.

50 Years of Marriage Wisdom
“The secret to a happy marriage is finding someone who puts up with you, let’s you do what you want, he’s just lovely! I’m very lucky.”
Sue
The secret to a happy marriage is love, and that’s it! I don’t know how I did it really, who else would put up with this!?
