Members Children.
In the last few weeks we have had to stop children running around the bar and climbing on and jumping off the stage. This is dangerous and if any of the children doing this are injured then club is liable. We don’t expect you to tie them to their seats but children running in between the tables playing tag or hide n seek causing members drinks to be spilled is unacceptable.
Unlike some clubs that do not allow children in after a certain time we only ask parents that bring their children to the club to please just keep an eye on them, keep them under control and please do not let them run about.
Club Accounts To 30th June 2012.
It has been some time since your Executive Committee has been able to present accounts that seem to indicate we at Kingsley Park Working Men’s Club are bucking the trend and joining a minority of clubs that are showing improvements in their financial situation.
There are several factors contributing to this improvement listed in no order of importance.
Thanks to the Working Men’s Club and Institute Union Ltd of which we are members, there is a change in the tax regime on our fruit machines. It has generated £11,500 extra income for the club whilst offering greater choices and prizes for our members' enjoyment.
Then, your Committee through its strong emphasis on restricting costs has reduced overheads for the six months by 5%, from £210K to £200K.
The strong influence on members to come to the club because of the very real influence of our Steward Keith Pollitt and his team that has shown a huge improvement in the consistency and quality of our ales cannot be overstated. For the first six months compared to last year, our bar takings have increased for the first time in a long time.
The final acknowledgement must go to the many members who remain loyal to this, their club. Without you there would be no club.
Having said all of this, a very serious note of caution must be added. It is appreciated that work and cash are short for many of us. It is more important than ever that our members remain loyal. Whatever it takes for you to want to come in more often, please use the suggestion box in the main bar or speak to any of the officers or committee members. Every suggestion will be seriously considered.
Club Cards.
Members are reminded that club cards should be carried at all times. Bar staff have been told not to serve anyone that they do not know to be a member unless that person can prove that they are a member.
Only members and associate members can be served at the bar. If you sign in a guest you are responsible for that guest and guests cannot purchase drinks from the bar.

Hello and welcome to "Them 2 ladZ" the Skegness based duo. Unlike most duos, "Them 2 ladZ" use the latest custom made backing tracks, accompanied with either electric lead, or bass guitar. Great harmonies and backing vocals makes a fantastic sound better. A varied range of music, from 60s to present, with lots to sing a long to, makes a great day out a certainty, with more than a few laughs from the pair of jokers.

Obituary.
It is with deep regret we announce the death of John O'Brien. He was affectionately known as Big John in the club. A member since 1968 he has been loyal to this club in all those years. John served a good stint on the Committee when his presence was always felt, He was honest and forthright and never suffered fools gladly. This put together with a heart of gold and total commitment made him a club member to be proud of. When his health permitted he would often be in the club playing nap many lunchtimes right up to the end. He would be the first to admit he was by no means perfect but his legacy will be that of a huge character who was a through and through Kingsley Park person. (It would have been nice to be able to say "man")
Our sympathies go to his family.
