Local Children in Need 1st November.
Starring A-Jay and Willow an evening of Top Class entertainment. In the main bar starting at 8.00pm.Play-ur-cards-right.Raffle and Auction.
Thanks to all that have donated goods (including Saints tickets) for this event and to all that have sponsored the games.
Come along and enjoy the superb group Willow plus comedienne A Jay. May I remind members that all money raised goes to Local Children and not to the club. We ask you all to dig deep and give it your full support.
A Great North Run.
Peter Hackett (47 and a member of Kingsley Park WMC for 29 years) took part for the first time in this event to raise money for Leukaemia Research. His target was to reach the finish line, however to his astonishment and that of others, he finished in 2 hours and 36 minutes. Peter ran with three work colleagues from Northampton Borough Council (Wayne Marriott, Alan Smith and Wayne Barrett) and between them raised approximately £1000.
Peter would like to thank everyone who sponsored him and now that he has achieved what he thought was the impossible, would like to take the sponsorship to a bigger audience next year.
Club Rules.
Like me you were probably given a copy of the club rules when you joined the club. If like me you have been a member for over 30 years, you can’t remember where they are now. There have been many amendments over the years. And the price we have to pay for the booklets has spiralled, we have ran out of booklets but from November you will be able to read the rules on-line at: http://kingsleyparkwmc.blogspot.com/
Bus Saved.
The Committee has decided to keep our Mini Bus. To ensure it’s future. It is up to our members to use it more. During the winter months it is mostly used in the evenings by our games sections and to safely take our bar staff home. That means it is not being used during the day.
With Christmas sneaking up on us it has been suggested to me that it could be used for shopping trips. Could you get a party of friends together and hire the bus to visit one of the many large shopping centres? Milton Keynes, Brent Cross, The Lakeside? Or how about a trip to the Sunday Markets in London?
If any member wishes to make use of their bus, please get in touch with Barry.
Red Tooth Poker.
Our Redtooth Poker League is finally up and running. It is proving to be very popular. So popular that we have had to order extra tables. We have players signed up that have not played yet and we are getting more applicants every week. The new season starts 9th November, so come along on Tuesday evenings before 7-30pm and get yourself registered. Our early League leader as we go to press is Luke Borer who finished in first place three weeks in a row and now has 310 points. In joint second place are Lee Winters Jnr & Mark Knight with 230 points with Jenk Schwartz in forth place on 200 points. For an up-to-date league table visit.http://www.redtoothpoker.com/publeague.asp?venue=1843

Pool Team Lose Rain Affected Final.
The pool team lost their cup final against Rushden. Playing on an unfamiliar table and using rules they had never used before, one miss-cue and one in off made the difference between a 3-3 draw and a 5-1 defeat.
However the runners-up prize was well worth winning and the team made it back to the club in plenty of time to start spending their winnings.
Redtooth Poker.
The Redtooth Poker League will start on Tuesday 30th September. If you wish to take part, come along at 7:15pm and get your self registered. For the 8:00pm start.

Sadly after a long illness we have to report the passing of Mark Anthony Yates aged 39. Mark had been a member for over 18 years.

Mark’s funeral service will take place at St Matthews church on Thursday 2nd Oct at 1:45pm followed by internment at Kingsthrope, then refreshments at the club.
Family flowers only, donations may be made to Northampton General

Kingsley Park WMC Local Children in Need.
Due to lack of support we wave had to cancel the afternoon of children’s entertainment that we had planned. We have also decided to move the evening of adult entertainment into the main bar. This will now be a free event. During the evening there will be raffle. Amongst the prizes will be goods donated by our members and organisations such as Carlsberg who are donating tickets for the Saints. May I remind members that all money raised goes to Local Children and not to the club. We ask you all to dig deep and give it your support.

Kitchen Closure.
We have received yet another blow this month in that our electricity suppliers have imposed a huge increase from 1st October.
We are fighting this vigorously, but have to plan with the view to the worst case scenario happening.
Ever since the catering operation started, it has been a service to members rather than a profit making exercise. In the current climate we regret we cannot absorb the additional costs and the price increases needed to keep things on an even keel would be just too much to ask of you.
With effect from 29th September 08 we regret to announce that the kitchen will not open for hot meals.
However, we will continue to supply fresh filled rolls daily and hot pies and pasties. We are also looking into the possibility of supplying microwave food.
Our service for parties, funerals and special events will not alter.
We would like to thank all of you who have enjoyed our meals in the past and hope that, when this recession is over, we may be able to resume a full service.
E.C.
Now the Good News.
We were hoping to adjust our bar tariff during the month of September but just as final preparations were being made the breweries hit us with a round of price rises. Now after some brilliant negotiating we are able to keep the prices down.
Not only that. We are adjusting our bar tariff from October 1st. We will be decreasing the price of all draught beers by about 10%, there will be a minor rounding up of other prices, as many of you have indicated that you don’t want to be bothered with pennies.
In view of the current financial climate this is a significant and brave move by a Committee that is totally committed to the Club and its members.
In order for this to work, we call on the loyalty of our members to use Kingsley Park WMC as their social place of choice.
Some sample prices: Tetley Smooth, £1-95. Carlsberg, £2-05.
Carling, £2-10. Strongbow, £2-25 and Guinness, £2-40

Mayor’s Charity Evening.
On Saturday the 4th October Kingsley are hosting a Charity evening for the Mayor’s Charities: SSAFA Forces Help & Northampton and District Branch Alzheimer’s Society. From 7:00pm to 11:30pm.
There will be a Bangers & Mash Dinner, Live Music, Dancing and a Raffle. We have managed to get some tickets for our members and they are available from Barry for only £10 per person.
Help For Heroes Fund.
We have received a thank you letter from Bern J Armer. Thanking us for the £100 we contributed to the Charity. Bern tells us that he is participating in the Dartmoor `Yomp` on Saturday 27th September. He reckons that the 12 miles across Dartmoor will be a `doddle`.
Then on October the 12th he will be completing in the Commando Challenge at the Commando Training Centre which is a 7 mile obstacle course (2 mile road run 3 mile obstacle course and then a 2 mile road run back to start.)
Bern tells us he did take part in the course 52 years ago as a recruit in The Royal Marines. He would also like to thank our members who donated £192 to the fund, which is more than he got from any of the Royal Marine Clubs that he belongs to. So well done Bern and well done our members.
Photographs of the obstacle course can be found at. www.commandachallenge.co.uk
Christmas Raffle.
Our Christmas raffle tickets have at last been delivered and are on sale now. Tickets are priced at £1:00 for a book of five. You can purchase tickets at the welfare table, from the doorman or from behind the bar.
This year’s star prizes include a 37” Digital Television, a Laptop and a DVD Recorder. Plus numerous other prizes.
