Government puts the boot in - again!

Earlier this year the Government reduced VAT to 15% to soften the blow of the recession. True to form however, at the same time they increased the duty on alcohol so that the VAT saving was cancelled out.

From 1st January next year the VAT rate is to be increased to 17.5%, but the duty increase is not going to be reversed. This means an extra 5 pence of every pint sold goes to the Government from 1st January.

You will understand from our previous disclosures about our financial position that the club cannot absorb this cost.

It is with great regret that the price of all draught beers will increase by 5 pence per pint and all bottled alcoholic drinks and other alcoholic measures will also increase by 5 pence from 1st January 2010.

The Government, at its most cynical, has decreed that the VAT rate shall not go up until 06.00 on 1st January so that the first drink to see in the New Year will be at 15%.

With a General Election looming, it may be the time now for us as individual members to start lobbying our prospective Members of Parliament.

If you want to help make a difference, come and have a chat with the General Secretary Monday 7th December at 2000 in the Ken Taylor Lounge. The easiest thing in the world is to say, "What difference can one person make?" The only way to get change is by the joint action of a lot of one persons together. We just may be able to work something out that is worth doing!
Light at the end of the tunnel.

You may recall that we issued a special newsletter in August informing you of our results to the end of June. For the first six months we made a loss of £34K. For the next three months to 30th September we made a loss of £5k. By any standards this is a remarkable turn around for the quietest three months of the year. The tariff is at a level that can sustain our overheads if we can keep a lid on them.
A continuing improvement in the quality of our service and presentation of our beers is a high priority.
This recovery is in its infancy and is very fragile because the effect of the credit crunch is still being felt and will continue to be felt for some time to come.

If, we could just rid ourselves of the petty vandalism that blights our club; mainly in the toilets.

If, the small minority could refrain from grinding chewing gum, crisps and sweets into the carpets.

If, the small minority could kerb their foul language, even when football is showing.

Then, our club would be more welcoming and the members, associates and guests we have lost through being fed up with the vandalism or are intimidated by the bad language just might come back.

More than ever we need the loyalty of our members to sustain our recovery and ensure the light at the end of the tunnel is sunlight and not a train coming straight at us.

Help for Heroes.

Thank you to all that took part. We managed to raise £350 for the cause.
We are pleased to announce that this will be an annual event on the Friday nearest the 11th November.

Welfare Payout.

The December 2009 Welfare Payout will be made to qualifying members on Fridays between 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm and Sundays between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm during December, commencing on Sunday 6th December 2009.

The next Welfare Payments will be made in March 2010.

The Treasure Chest.

The purpose of the treasure chest is to raise money to help pay for the club’s entertainment and senior citizens and life members 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 after deducting the consolation prize will be added to 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 21.15pm.
The number of keys will start at 21 and will reduce by one 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. Tickets are available from the Welfare Table on Friday evenings and Sunday lunchtime and evenings.

There are still a few tickets available, get yours before December 6th.

Halloween Fancy Dress.

A £25 prize is up for grabs for both the best Adults and the best Childs costume on the evening of the 31st October.

Improvements.

Sharp-eyed members will have noticed our new television; we have also installed a new aerial and we are now able to get the satellite channels.
We have had the seats professionally cleaned and new blinds are on order. We ask our members to appreciate our efforts and respect their fellow members comfort by reframing from standing on the seats.

New Bar Management Regime.

As a Management Committee we are constantly looking at ways of improving the quality of service to our members, always having in mind the cost of those services. This coupled with the current financial position we are all in creates the need for some hard decisions to be taken.

It has been decided that instead of having a steward and assistant steward, we are going to have a “Front of House Manager” with two assistants; one with the main responsibility of running the cellar and producing an excellent pint and the other with the main responsibility of ensuring every visitor to the club comes into a welcoming environment to be served by staff who will always present a drink as it is meant to be poured.

With great regret, we have had to declare the position held by Michael Doy as Steward is redundant and he has left the club’s employ.

Sarah Warren has been offered the position of front of house manager and Nathan George that as her assistant with responsibility for running the cellar. The position for the other assistant is being advertised and interviews will be held shortly.

This reorganisation will result in a reduction in costs and it will free the house used by the Steward to be used as a source of income.

Your support through this transition that we are sure all will benefit from will be greatly appreciated. We are sure you will soon be able to appreciate a further improvement the quality of service you will receive.

E.C.

Real Ale.

Members have been asking why we don’t get this or that beer as our real ale. It has been decided that one of our pumps will be reserved for our member’s choice. If you know of a good local beer that you think will go down well with our members, let us know and we will try and get it for you. Post your choice in the suggestion box.
Thank you to all that voted in the raffle prize survey. The overwhelming choice was for beer tickets. The tickets have been ordered and we will be incorporating then in the prizes soon.

Help for Heroes.

Friday November 13th will be our Help for Heroes Day. Start the day with one of Sarah’s Set breakfasts for only £3.00. Available between 12.00 & 3.00pm. Enjoy an afternoon of entertainment with Book It & Risk It.
In the evening The Beer Palor Jivers will keep you entertained. We will have raffles in the afternoon and evening with all proceeds going to the Help for Heroes Fund.


Children’s Pantomime.

This years offering is Aladdin. It will be on Saturday December 19th.
2.00 – 4.45pm. Free for Children between 4 and 14.
Tickets are available from November 6th on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 7.30 – 9.00pm. Tickets from. Paddy Mullally.

Christmas Raffle.

Members Christmas Draw 2009 Tickets are now on sale from the Welfare Table, Committee members, the Doorman or from behind the bar.


Committee Vacancy.

Due to the resignation of Dave Yates, there is a vacancy on the Committee.
Volunteers are invited for this post that will initially be that of assistant in the Welfare Section. The holder of this post will also take a full part; as a member of the management committee; in the management of the club.
To qualify, the applicant must be a full financial member of at least six month’s standing.
For further details please see John Carnegie-Brown who will give all details of how the welfare department is run and Barry Slasberg as regards the responsibilities of a Committee Member and how to register your interest.
In these difficult times, people with time, energy and dedication are needed more than ever to support and help run our club.

Litter.

Dropping litter is unsightly and is an offence for which fines can be imposed.

Members are also reminded that under no circumstances should they take their drink out front with them.

These sessions held on the first Wednesday of the month are becoming very popular with our members. If you enjoy a bit of bluegrass come along and enjoy an excellent night of entertainment.

A Pint of Carlsberg, for 65p.


On Saturday October 10th The Mirror will have a voucher for A Free Pint of Carlsberg in it. Order you copy now, tell all your friends to order their copy and bring them along to the club and enjoy A Free Pint of Carlsberg.
The voucher is valid on the 10th of October only. Unfortunately; only one voucher per customer. Make sure you don’t miss out.


Suggestion Box.

One of the recent suggestions in the suggestion box was that we should lower the age to sixteen that people could buy soft drinks and snacks from the bar. This is a private members club and only members can be served at the bar. This means that if you bring friends or family to the club they are not allowed to purchase intoxicating liquor.
As people can leave school at sixteen and maybe lucky enough to get a job and have their own money, your committee has decided to change the rule and allow anyone over the aged sixteen or over to purchase soft drinks and snacks from the bar.
This goes to show that we do read and act on your sensible suggestions and we do note your comments. It is your suggestion box, so if you have any bright ideas use the box.


Help for Heroes.


Friday November 13th will be our Help for Heroes Day. Start the day with one of Sarah’s Set breakfasts for only £3.00. Available between 12.00 & 3.00pm. Enjoy an afternoon of entertainment with Book It & Risk It.
In the evening Bob’s Disco will keep you entertained. We will have raffles in the afternoon and evening with all proceeds going to the Help for Heroes Fund.


Goodies for Halloween.

In the week leading up to Halloween every time you buy a pint of Strongbow you will receive a scratch card (while stocks last) with the chance to win some Halloween goodies.



Members Notice Board.

The members notice board (another idea from the suggestion box) is situated below the new television in the bar, So far only one member is making use of it. I know there are lots of builders, carpenters, plumbers, plasterers, mechanics etc that use our club, so why not publicize yourselves by making use of our free service? If you have a business card give it to me and I will photocopy it, enlarge it and put it on the board for you. Maybe you have a wanted or an offer that we can publicize for you, if you want I can type them out for you. But please remember the maximum size for notices is 6x4 inches (15x10cm), larger notices may be removed.


Christmas Raffle.

Members Christmas Draw 2009 Tickets are now on sale from the Welfare Table, Committee members, the Doorman or from behind the bar.

Children’s Pantomime.

This years offering is Aladdin. It will be on Saturday December 19th.
2.00 – 4.45pm. Free for Children between 4 and 14.
Tickets will be available from November 6th on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 7.30 – 9.00pm.

Suggestion box.

Those eagle-eyed members amongst you will have spotted our new suggestion box; it is fixed to the column nearest to the main door in the bar. The committee are setting aside time each week to discus your suggestions, comments and questions. If you want an answer please leave contact details.
We have already implemented some suggestions, unfortunately we can’t lower the age that you are allowed to buy a drink to 16, the government wont let us.

Kingsley Park Bluegrass Jam.

The jam is open to all players of acoustic instruments and singers who appreciate the style of bluegrass and country music. Listeners are welcome.
The jam etiquette is as follows; The players sit is a circle with one lead person choosing the tune and taking the solo part, the remainder embellishing his/her playing/singing and or taking a lead break/fill in during the tune if they know the tune and are called on to do so.
During the session the solo part keeps moving round the circle in turn with each player/singer having the opportunity to take or decline it.

The jams will run monthly on the first Wednesday of the month starting on September 2nd at 8:00pm. In the Ken Taylor Lounge.


Rooms Available.

Would you like the free use of one of our rooms between Monday morning and Friday afternoon for your group or event?
We have rooms of various sizes available during opening hours for all types of usage. All we ask is that you make use of our refreshments. You don’t have to buy alcohol, we are quite happy to provide the coffee for your coffee morning, supply buffets etc all at reasonable prices to suit your needs.

Welfare Payout.

The September 2009 Welfare Payout will be made to qualifying members on Fridays between 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm and Sundays between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm during September, commencing on Sunday 6th September 2009.
The next Welfare Payments will be made in December 2009.

Members Notice board.

One of the requests in the suggestion box was for a member’s notice board so members could advertise their services etc on. It has been agreed that you may display postcard sized adverts (6x4). If any member wishes to use this service let me know and I will find a space for them.

Christmas Raffle.

Yes it’s that time of year again. Our Christmas draw tickets go on sale from the first week in September. Back by popular demand are the cash prizes. 1st £500, 2nd £250 & 3rd £100 Plus lots of other prizes.
Tickets will be on sale at the Welfare Table, from committee members, from the doorman and from behind the bar. Draw Tuesday December 8th.

Corridor Closed.

In an effort to save on energy cost, the corridor between the front door and the concert room will be closed from Monday morning to Friday afternoon.
If you need to use the disabled toilet or the baby changing room please ask the bar staff to open the door for you. Otherwise please use the bar toilets.

Old newsletters.

All the old newsletters published between November 2001 and December 2005 are now available on our website. http://kingsleyparkwmc.blogspot.com/
Soon you will be able to read the newsletters from 2006 to present. They are well worth a read, you can see the ideas that sounded good at the time but failed to take off. Also things that keep cropping up time after time.

Friday Night Disco.

Friday night’s entertainment will now be our very own Bob Horner with his Disco. Bob has access to all type of music, if you have a favourite song ask Bob and he will try and find it for you.

Smoking Area.

Despite further spending on the smoking area members continue to abuse it. It took less than a week for someone to force open the locked door.
We have now been forced to spend further and buy a lock and chain for the door. The smoking area should be cleared by 11:00pm, this does not mean you all wait until 10:58 to make your way out to start your last cigarette, it means you should be finished. If anyone is found in the smoking area after 11:00 they might find themselves on a charge for breaking club rules.
Taxi, Free Phone Service.

It has been decided to do away with the coin phone box in the corridor. This phone was costing us more to rent than we were receiving in charges, it was mainly used at the end of the night to ring for a taxi. So to save you money we now have a free phone that goes straight through to Mayfair taxis. The phone is situated above the counter in the doorman’s office. To justify this service it must be used.
We have taken out the line with the number 715514. In future please use our main number 711002 for general purposes and 719800 for the secretary.
