If none of these work for you please telephone the Secretary 01604 719800 who will do his best to accommodate you at a mutually convenient time.
Following the rule change at the last AGM male members now qualify for life membership after 25 years. This means if you have had continuous membership since 1985 or before you are entitled to life membership. We also reward members on reaching 50, 60 and 70 years. All these awards are considered on receipt of application from members.
For life membership please deposit your membership and associate cards with the secretary and collect your life membership card and tie the following week.
Free Wi-Fi.
As a free service to our members and guests we invite you to make use of our wireless Internet connection.
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.
Christmas Raffle.
There are still a few tickets available, get yours before December 6th.
