1st January 2025
Dear Members,
Let me begin by wishing you and your families a very happy, peaceful and safe 2025. May this forthcoming year keep all of you in good health and spirit.
Over the past three months, your club has successfully hosted the ‘Kashmiri Food Festival – ‘Dawat -e-Kashmiri Wazwan’ which was a resounding success. Further the Christmas Lunch this year broke all previous records in terms of numbers and am very happy to inform you that my General Committee changed rules and allowed children to attend the Christmas Lunch at The Bengal Club for the first time in our history. It was very heartening to see three generations of Members and their grandchildren enjoying the Christmas festivities together. Our New Year’s Eve was a huge success and here too we had a record number of Members and Guests. The evening was made very special with pulsating music from the band ‘Krosswindz’ who ensured that everyone spent more time on the dance floor. The special lunches during Durga Puja saw a large number of Member’s and their guests enjoying a well curated cuisine.
Our Bar Sub Committee hosted the very popular ‘Pub Quiz’ at The Huddle and two excellent Jazz performances at The Nagraj Bar which was very well received by our Members and their Guests. A wine tasting session was also held at The Huddle. We also launched our special Ale called ‘The Bengal Club IPA’ and it has been well received by those who enjoy this special kind of beer.
The ‘Makaibari Classical Evening’ hosted ‘Vidushi’ Subha Mudgal to a packed audience with over four hundred and fifty members and the guests in attendance. The newly formed Book club continues to host its Book Club meets every month.
The regular Bridge Tournaments continue at the club with a very big competitive event scheduled in February 2025. Kudos to the Bridge Cub Committee for ensuring that activity enthuses more Members to participate and make Bengal Club the best in this game.
As we move into the new calendar year, your sub committees are working hard to bring unique and well curated events that will differentiate your club among all others in the city.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Management and Union Staff for their hard work and commitment to this club. They are truly the backbone of our institution and their dedication and service makes your experience very special each time you walk in.
On behalf of the entire team at Bengal Club, I wish you a great year ahead and look forward to welcoming you at your Club at all times.
With my very best wishes,
Sumit Ray
