Happy New Year.

The Committee would like to wish all our members and friends A Happy and prosperous New Year. We thank you for your support and hope to see you all in the club soon.


Looking Ahead

The year 2011 looks as though it is going to be tough for everyone. Use your club and take a break from the strain. Most nights of the week there is something to come and enjoy. Use the time to relax and meet your friends and make new ones. We do not count our success by the number of pints you drink but the number of bums on seats and smiles we see. There is no embarrassment in just coming in for one pint and having a good few hours in the club. Enjoy the entertainment, enjoy the games and enjoy the company. Our charges for snooker have not changed for years and at £2.00 per hour represents phenomenal value. Pool at 50 pence a game also takes some beating
Why not get your friends to join? For just £15.00 you and they could all have a regular night out at the club (just like in the old days!)

With belt tightening all around you may feel that celebrating a special function is beyond your means with things as they are. For all special celebrations booked for 2011, the hire of the function room is being reduced from £150.00 to £75.00 for all bookings received by 31st March 2011. Other booking fees will be reduced by half also. This reduction will apply to all bookings already received for 2011. So think ahead and get your bookings in! We cannot reduce the cost of our catering as it is already second to none for both price and quality and we are not prepared to compromise on quality that would be the only means of reducing the price.

Please do not forget to always top up your phone at the club. It costs you nothing beyond the top up fee and generates a small commission to the club that helps us control our bar tariff.

The world is full of gloom and doom, but our world at Kingsley Park Working Men's Club could be a very real bubble of relief, happiness and optimism that comes from sharing both good and bad times with good friends and neighbours in good surroundings.
Think about it. You know it makes sense!.

Subscriptions 2011
Membership subscriptions for 2011 have been affected by the Equality Act that forbids differentiating the treatment of people on the grounds of age or sex.
The subscription for all members for 2011 will therefore be that agreed at the last Annual General Meeting of £8.00 per member, be they male, female or over 65. Life members will only have to pay £3.00 for their pass card.
For one year only women members will have to pay an extra £3.00 to buy the Associate card that gives membership of all Working Men's clubs subject to the same restrictions men suffer.
Partners of members who have not themselves been members are not affected by this legislation and can still enter the club unhindered on the arm of their member partner; but they cannot come to the club on their own or buy alcoholic beverages from the bar.
Subscriptions shall be taken in January as follows:

Sundays 9th 16th 23rd 30th from 11.00 to 13.00
Mondays 10th 17th 24th 31st from 19.30 to 21.00
