Free Service For Members.

It’s been reported this month there’s £42,900,000 of coins stuck down the back of the sofa. So I want to set all our members a challenge, to snoop in the nooks and crannies and see what you can find. Places to check, back of sofas, back of car seats, pockets of old clothes, bottom of the washing basket, back of 'man' drawer, bottom of wardrobe, and lint trap of tumble dryer. Maybe you have been saving your coins in a jar or tin.
As a service to our members we will change all your silver and pound coins into notes absolutely FREE. Unfortunately we cannot except copper coins.
Of course there are alternative ways to change your coins, you can take them to Morrisons where they will charge you 8% for providing them with change.

Welfare Payout.

The September 2010 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 5th September 2010.

The next Welfare Payments will be made in December 2010.

Concert Room Bar.

At busy times members have been having difficulties gaining entry into the concert room due to the queues at the bar and the bingo table.
To ease the situation it has been decided that from Friday 3rd September to make the queue for the bar one-way only.
We ask you to queue from the stage side and to move away from the bar once you have been served. Notices will be in place and the staff will be told not to serve people joining from the wrong direction.
