Festive Greetings.

We hope that your Christmas festivities have gone well and you received some gifts that you really wanted. Trouble is if someone bought you clothes they will expect to see you wearing them, (hands up if you got a jersey that you will wear once then hide it at the back of the cupboard never to be seen again).
As this newsletter is published before January 1st may we remind members that seats cannot be reserved on New Years Eve.

Room Hire.

Room hire brings in much needed revenue to the club. The concert room bookings for 2009 are going well. We have at least one booking for every month, some months we only have one vacant Saturday night available.
If you have a Birthday, Wedding, Engagement or Anniversary planned for this year get your booking in now. (Please note we do not accept bookings for eighteenth birthdays). The cost to hire the room is £120 so if you have something to arrange, get in touch with Barry quickly.

The Concert Room is also available Sunday mornings for Christenings.
Smaller rooms are available mid-week for all sorts of events and meetings. If you have a group that is looking for a new venue, we have rooms available.

Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. It is well-known in many English-speaking countries, and it is often sung to celebrate the start of the new year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day.
The song's (Scots) title may be translated into English literally as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago"[1] or "days gone by". “In the days of auld lang syne” as the equivalent of “Once upon a time.” The last line of the chorus is frequently mis-sung by crowds and untrained groups as "for the sake of Auld Lang Syne". It is rarely, if ever, incorrectly performed by trained choirs.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.

We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a right good willie-waught,,
For auld lang syne.

The new Treasure Chest.

A new treasure chest will start on January 11th.

The purpose of the new treasure chest is to raise money to help pay for the club’s entertainment and senior citizen’s and life member’s functions.

Each new jackpot will start at £100.00.
Tickets will be sold for £1.00 per strip of five.

Half of the money from ticket sales will go into the treasure chest fund to be paid out if the treasure chest is opened.

£25.00 will be paid out each week as a consolation to the person who wins the key but cannot open the chest.

All remaining monies will be used for the purposes of the treasure chest as stated above.

The draw will be made every Sunday at about 21.15. The winning ticket must be presented by 23.00 on the same day.

The number of keys will start at 21 and will reduce on a weekly basis until only 3 keys are left. They will remain at this number until the treasure chest is opened.

Committee members will not hold tickets for people who are not in the club when the draw is made.


Christmas Decorations.

This year members have had nothing but good things to say about our Christmas decorations. One member Pete Hammond suggested we donate the old ones to Northampton Council to brighten up Abington Street.

Obituary

Sadly we have to report the death of Jim Prigmore. Our sympathy goes to his children Mandy, Clare and Steve. His grandchildren, other family and friends.

2009 Subscriptions

As we move into 2009 it’s that time of year again when we have to renew our club cards. What do you get for 14p per week, yes that’s only 2p per day.
Each week we spend over £1000 on entertainment. We have bingo at least twice a week. We have a large games room open 7 days a week with two pool tables, Two skittles tables, and three dartboards. Numerous card tables and lots of domino tables.
In the downstairs games room we have 3 full sized snooker tables, we also have a pool table in the small room near the front door.
Most mid-week nights you will find our games players representing the club in a league matches.
The club has Sky Sports and Setanta Sports on big screen TV. So you will never miss a big match.
Subs for 2009 are payable from 4th January to 28th January. At the end of this period any member who has not paid their subs become members in arrears and may not use the facilities of the club until they pay them. After the 25th February those who have not paid lose their membership.
Please note that even if you joined the club at the end of 2008 subs are payable in full for 2009.
It is preferable for all members to attend to pay their own subs and enjoy some refreshment with other members. However, if this is not possible, you may pay by post or another member may pay on your behalf. The only thing the Committee must see is the red card for men and the white card for women.

World War Two shipmates reunited.

For almost two years, Northampton born Kingsley Park WMC member Gavin Field and Peter Dugan, from Slough, were shipmates and friends with a Royal Navy flotilla during World War Two.
And after landing on the French coast together on D-Day, June 1944, the pair were demobilised at the end of the war and parted company, neither knowing what became of the other.
For almost 65 years, not a word passed between them, until a chance finding in a Landing Craft Association magazine led to the reunion of the two men and their families.
Gavin, now aged 85 and a grandfather of four, from Northampton, spotted Peter's name in an article in The Kedge Hook magazine after reading it in Kingsley Working Men's Club.
He managed to track down Peter with the help of the magazine and the two finally met this summer.
"I didn't know he existed since 1945, we're still having a job to believe it," Gavin said.
"We never got demobbed together and we got split up. He was my friend for nearly two years serving in the Navy.
"He finished doing work in the Navy and I went to the military hospital in Southampton.
"There were 40,000 boats on D-Day and there were six boats in each flotilla. I was in LCI 380 and Pete was in 379, and we still didn't know from 1945 that we were still here.
"He's a remarkable fellow and I couldn't describe how good a shipmate he was. Isn't it funny that it happens to be somewhere near November 11? It wasn't worked like that."
Gavin’s medals sit alongside his father's from World War One as well as an intact bully beef biscuit sent home to Northampton.
Gavin said he talked to Peter about their friendship when they were reunited in Derby.
"You never want to discuss the bad side of war. There's no glory in it. It's remarkable when you think we were only 17 and 18, and there's people who fight in wars and are dead and buried."

Obituary.

We regret to announce the passing of Len Dunford on 5th November 2008.
Len joined the Club in 1984 and has been a regular and loyal member of the Cribbage section since that time.
He will be especially missed by his team-mates.
The condolences of the Committee and members are offered to his wife and children.

Redtooth Poker.

Congratulations to Luke Borer who has won our first ever redtooth poker tournament. Mark Knight was second. Lonnie Consodine joins them for wining the play off for third place. They now go on to the redtooth regional final, which is being held at the Kingsley Park WMC on Sunday 7th December.


Welfare Payout

The December 2008 Welfare Payout will be made to qualifying members on
Fridays between 7.00pm and 9.00pm & Sundays between 11.00am and 1.00pm
during December, commencing on Sunday 7th December 2008.
The next Welfare Payments will be made in March 2009.


Saturday Morning Pictures.

How would you like to treat your little darlings to a trip to the pictures on a Saturday Morning?
Before we go to the expense of laying this on, we need to know if you would be interested.
What we are thinking is perhaps showing two films and giving a bottle of pop all for £1.00.
The concert room bar will be open for crisps and sweets.
We would ask parents to stay in the main bar, or indeed stay with their children (at no extra cost) so any child would have immediate access to their parents if for any reason their children wanted them.
If you would support this by bringing your children please let anyone in the entertainment section of the committee have your name.
We will let you know in the next newsletter if this is going ahead and if so we anticipate getting things going round about the middle of January 09.
E.C.

Now it has become personal!

For months we have been talking about and reading about "the credit crunch" "the global slowdown" "recession" and all sorts of other fancy titles indicating the world is in deep s***.
The theory and fancy talk is now over. What we are seeing is our members losing their jobs and finding it harder and harder to put food on the table and keep up with the mortgage. It is personal and from what we hear for the next year or so the pain will continue.
What we as a Committee want you all to know is that through the hard times Kingsley Park Working Men's Club is here for its members.
You do not have to spend an arm and a leg at the club. Four people coming to play snooker just need to put 50 pence in each to have an hour at the table. Our pool tables are available for just 50 pence a game. We do not mind if you just want a cup of coffee or tea, though we would hope you could go to a pint or two if not driving. You can join friends for a game of cards or dominoes. If enough turned up we could even have some daytime knockouts. If mums and tots wanted somewhere to get together in the day, we could look at opening a room for you and helping with things like colouring books and crayons.
What we are saying is that we open at 11 o'clock every day and we are here for our members.
If you are affected and have free time on your hands, come to the club and pass a couple of hours just getting away from it all.
If you want an organised activity during the day such as Mums and Tots or some sort of game competition, come and see the Secretary, Barry to discuss. Give him a bell on 01604 719800 to make sure he will be in.
Now is the time when we believe the true value of a Working Men's Club comes into its own. We still have to cover our overheads to keep going and put something in the kitty for survival necessities; but as seen by our recent cut in beer prices; we will move heaven and earth for our members.

Farewell Jim and Margaret.

After about twenty years loyal service to the club Jim Smith and Margaret Reynolds have decided to call it a day.
After such a long time they have become part of the fabric of the club and they will be sorely missed by many members who have enjoyed Jim's smiling good nature and Margaret's very individual sense of humour.
We would like to thank them for all they have done in their joint 40 years of service and wish them well for the future.

Local Children in Need 1st November.

Starring A-Jay and Willow an evening of Top Class entertainment. In the main bar starting at 8.00pm.Play-ur-cards-right.Raffle and Auction.
Thanks to all that have donated goods (including Saints tickets) for this event and to all that have sponsored the games.
Come along and enjoy the superb group Willow plus comedienne A Jay. May I remind members that all money raised goes to Local Children and not to the club. We ask you all to dig deep and give it your full support.


A Great North Run.

Peter Hackett (47 and a member of Kingsley Park WMC for 29 years) took part for the first time in this event to raise money for Leukaemia Research. His target was to reach the finish line, however to his astonishment and that of others, he finished in 2 hours and 36 minutes. Peter ran with three work colleagues from Northampton Borough Council (Wayne Marriott, Alan Smith and Wayne Barrett) and between them raised approximately £1000.
Peter would like to thank everyone who sponsored him and now that he has achieved what he thought was the impossible, would like to take the sponsorship to a bigger audience next year.

Club Rules.

Like me you were probably given a copy of the club rules when you joined the club. If like me you have been a member for over 30 years, you can’t remember where they are now. There have been many amendments over the years. And the price we have to pay for the booklets has spiralled, we have ran out of booklets but from November you will be able to read the rules on-line at: http://kingsleyparkwmc.blogspot.com/











Bus Saved.


The Committee has decided to keep our Mini Bus. To ensure it’s future. It is up to our members to use it more. During the winter months it is mostly used in the evenings by our games sections and to safely take our bar staff home. That means it is not being used during the day.
With Christmas sneaking up on us it has been suggested to me that it could be used for shopping trips. Could you get a party of friends together and hire the bus to visit one of the many large shopping centres? Milton Keynes, Brent Cross, The Lakeside? Or how about a trip to the Sunday Markets in London?
If any member wishes to make use of their bus, please get in touch with Barry.

Red Tooth Poker.





Our Redtooth Poker League is finally up and running. It is proving to be very popular. So popular that we have had to order extra tables. We have players signed up that have not played yet and we are getting more applicants every week. The new season starts 9th November, so come along on Tuesday evenings before 7-30pm and get yourself registered. Our early League leader as we go to press is Luke Borer who finished in first place three weeks in a row and now has 310 points. In joint second place are Lee Winters Jnr & Mark Knight with 230 points with Jenk Schwartz in forth place on 200 points. For an up-to-date league table visit.http://www.redtoothpoker.com/publeague.asp?venue=1843

Pool Team Lose Rain Affected Final.

The pool team lost their cup final against Rushden. Playing on an unfamiliar table and using rules they had never used before, one miss-cue and one in off made the difference between a 3-3 draw and a 5-1 defeat.
However the runners-up prize was well worth winning and the team made it back to the club in plenty of time to start spending their winnings.






Redtooth Poker.

The Redtooth Poker League will start on Tuesday 30th September. If you wish to take part, come along at 7:15pm and get your self registered. For the 8:00pm start. Carlsberg sponsors the league, the league lasts for 13 weeks and the top 3 go through to the regional final, the last two regional finals were held at the Kingsley.
At the regional final our winner will receive their trophy and join other players from this region to play for a £500 first prize. There are cash prizes for the first 10 places.




Obituary.

Sadly after a long illness we have to report the passing of Mark Anthony Yates aged 39. Mark had been a member for over 18 years. Our thoughts are with his partner Gina, parents Linda and Dave, sister Julieanne & brother Peter. Mark’s funeral service will take place at St Matthews church on Thursday 2nd Oct at 1:45pm followed by internment at Kingsthrope, then refreshments at the club.
Family flowers only, donations may be made to Northampton General
Hospital.


Kingsley Park WMC Local Children in Need.


Due to lack of support we wave had to cancel the afternoon of children’s entertainment that we had planned. We have also decided to move the evening of adult entertainment into the main bar. This will now be a free event. During the evening there will be raffle. Amongst the prizes will be goods donated by our members and organisations such as Carlsberg who are donating tickets for the Saints. May I remind members that all money raised goes to Local Children and not to the club. We ask you all to dig deep and give it your support.

Saturday 4th October.

Kitchen Closure.

We have received yet another blow this month in that our electricity suppliers have imposed a huge increase from 1st October.
We are fighting this vigorously, but have to plan with the view to the worst case scenario happening.
Ever since the catering operation started, it has been a service to members rather than a profit making exercise. In the current climate we regret we cannot absorb the additional costs and the price increases needed to keep things on an even keel would be just too much to ask of you.
With effect from 29th September 08 we regret to announce that the kitchen will not open for hot meals.
However, we will continue to supply fresh filled rolls daily and hot pies and pasties. We are also looking into the possibility of supplying microwave food.
Our service for parties, funerals and special events will not alter.
We would like to thank all of you who have enjoyed our meals in the past and hope that, when this recession is over, we may be able to resume a full service.
E.C.

Now the Good News.

We were hoping to adjust our bar tariff during the month of September but just as final preparations were being made the breweries hit us with a round of price rises. Now after some brilliant negotiating we are able to keep the prices down.
Not only that. We are adjusting our bar tariff from October 1st. We will be decreasing the price of all draught beers by about 10%, there will be a minor rounding up of other prices, as many of you have indicated that you don’t want to be bothered with pennies.
In view of the current financial climate this is a significant and brave move by a Committee that is totally committed to the Club and its members.

In order for this to work, we call on the loyalty of our members to use Kingsley Park WMC as their social place of choice.

Some sample prices: Tetley Smooth, £1-95. Carlsberg, £2-05.
Carling, £2-10. Strongbow, £2-25 and Guinness, £2-40
E.C.

Mayor’s Charity Evening.

On Saturday the 4th October Kingsley are hosting a Charity evening for the Mayor’s Charities: SSAFA Forces Help & Northampton and District Branch Alzheimer’s Society. From 7:00pm to 11:30pm.
There will be a Bangers & Mash Dinner, Live Music, Dancing and a Raffle. We have managed to get some tickets for our members and they are available from Barry for only £10 per person.

Help For Heroes Fund.




We have received a thank you letter from Bern J Armer. Thanking us for the £100 we contributed to the Charity. Bern tells us that he is participating in the Dartmoor `Yomp` on Saturday 27th September. He reckons that the 12 miles across Dartmoor will be a `doddle`.
Then on October the 12th he will be completing in the Commando Challenge at the Commando Training Centre which is a 7 mile obstacle course (2 mile road run 3 mile obstacle course and then a 2 mile road run back to start.)
Bern tells us he did take part in the course 52 years ago as a recruit in The Royal Marines. He would also like to thank our members who donated £192 to the fund, which is more than he got from any of the Royal Marine Clubs that he belongs to. So well done Bern and well done our members.
Photographs of the obstacle course can be found at. www.commandachallenge.co.uk

Christmas Raffle.

Our Christmas raffle tickets have at last been delivered and are on sale now. Tickets are priced at £1:00 for a book of five. You can purchase tickets at the welfare table, from the doorman or from behind the bar.
This year’s star prizes include a 37” Digital Television, a Laptop and a DVD Recorder. Plus numerous other prizes.
