The committee would like to welcome Alan Payet to our front of house team. Alan has several years experience and has gained qualifications in the licence trade. We are sure Alan will be a worthy assistant to Sarah and an inspiration to all the staff. He looks forward to the challenges ahead.
Phew!!!
I cannot remember a budget in recent times when a chancellor of the exchequer has not targeted Drinking, Smoking and Driving.
Thank goodness the importance of a social existence has been given its rightful priority in this budget. It is true that the increase in VAT will affect all prices, but this does not come into force until 4th January 2011.
There is no increase in duty in this budget and the threat of a huge increase in cider duty has been removed.
There is no doubt that every one of us will be affected in the long term by what is happening in the country at large, but it is pleasing to note that your club is being given a breather for the time being that should enable prices to be stabilised for the rest of the year at least.

Dob Em In!!
If you see or hear people vandalising the club, please inform a committeeman, the steward or assistant steward straight away.
We have had two toilets vandalised in the last week or so with pipes being ripped from the walls.
This mindless action by thugs who seem bereft of brain cells serves no purpose other than to increase the cost of a drink.
These people do not deserve your loyalty. They may not even be members. We can do without them, but we have to catch them first. So, if you catch them please dob 'em in.
Thank you

Dear Members.
We would like to thank you for your kindness & generosity in supporting our event on Saturday June the 5th. We raised £1305.30. Many thanks to those of you who donated raffle prizes for this event. On Sunday 20th we presented a cheque for £3,000 to Matt Herbert and his family to enable them to take a holiday in the South of France.
We continue to do this good work with your support. Many many thanks.
Yours sincerely.
Vanessa Hill.
Update Your Address.
On several occasions recently the committee has tried to write to members only to have the letter returned and be told that they have not lived here there for years. If you refer to your rulebook you will see that it is part of the rules that you must update your address when you move house.
Notifying Change of Address,
4. The committee shall keep upon the club premises a register of the names and addresses of the members. Every member shall, within 14 days, give notice to the secretary of any change in his address. The names of those who cease to be members shall be removed from the register.
If this applies to you please update your address immediately.
Club By-law.
One of the club by-laws states that no muddy boots or overalls are to be worn in the club. We all know that it is nice to drop into the club on the way home from a hard days work to have a couple of relaxing drinks.
We have nothing against that, but what we do ask you to do on weekdays is to go home by 7.00pm and get changed and not to come to the club in dirty clothes at the weekend.
Nutters.
As some of you may know a group of members known as the nutters have been raising money for a fun day out. They have successfully reached their target and thank all that contributed. They have also donated £100 to Help For Heroes, We hope they have a great day out on October 17th.
Obituaries.
Danny Dent. Our condolences go to his sons Danny and Kevin, Their families and his friends.
Mark Harris. Son of Brian and Sally, Brother to Lee and Michelle. Our thoughts are with them and his other family and friends.
Games News.
Poker
Congratulations to Phil Knight who finished runner-up in the Redtooth poker regional final. Phil now goes on to the national final.
Ladies Darts.
Kathy Maclean & Katrina Birch have won the N.W.M.C. League pairs competition.
Pool & Table Tennis.
From next season teams from Kingsley Park WMC will be representing us in the Monday night pool league and in the Northampton table tennis league.
Join In Our Blind Tasting.
From Monday 28th June while stocks last we are offering a blind tasting of two vodkas to see if there is a need for change of our house vodka.
If you want to take part simply tell the staff.
You will be given a single Smirnoff for which you will pay and you will be given a single of the new brand free of charge.
Both will be poured out of your sight.
All you have to do is tell the staff which one you prefer and if the majority is big enough for change, the house vodka will be changed. If there is a vote for change, this could result in a small price reduction.
Please note that only one test per person in any one session is permitted.
Happy Tasting!!
We Wish You Well Paddy.
Our Entertainment Secretary Paddy Mullally is presently in Northampton General Hospital where he is in a very poorly condition.
All of us who know Paddy know he is no pushover and he is a great fighter. Both of these qualities he has shown in abundance in his service to the club over many decades, mainly as Entertainment Secretary.
We all wish you a full and quick recovery Paddy and look forward to seeing you back in your rightful place as head of entertainment.
From the many members and the Committee who are all in your debt for brightening our lives at Kingsley Park Working Men's Club.

Olde English Cider.
It is with regret that due to lack of sales Thwaites Bitter will no longer be on offer. In time for the summer we will be offering our members a traditional English beverage in its place.
A recent review of Olde English Cider describes it as the most pleasant cider on the market; it is liquid gold as it leaves your taste buds alive and wanting more of the same, it is refreshing, bitter sweet and subtle. Olde English out tastes any other cider both foreign and indigienous.
Friday June 25th
Doors open at 11am, Get here early and start the day with one of Sarah’s set breakfasts for only £3.50. Available 11am to 2pm.
Enjoy an afternoon’s entertainment with Amy C and Book I’m & Risk It.

CIU Annual General Meeting.
The Annual General Meeting of the CIU was held at the Opera House in the Winter Gardens Complex in Blackpool on Saturday 10th April 2010.
The meeting was charged with anticipation as it was chaired by our new National President, George Dawson with the backing of our new General Secretary Mick McGlasham, and contained two notices of motion put forward by the National Executive both of which were believed crucial to the future security and prosperity of the Union.
George Dawson's presidential address was charged with emotion decrying lack of support from the Breweries; all of whom he stated are now owned by Continental companies that are only interested in selling product, and have no interest in supporting outlets like our clubs. He warned how much we are alone in the world but that pulling together we have the ability to come through the recession into a prosperous future.
The auditor for the CIU presented the accounts for the year to 30th September 09. He warned that things could not go on as they are. The loss for the year was over £1 million and that is clearly not sustainable. He commended the upcoming motion to merge the associate and pass cards into one annual associate card costing only £2 of which 20 pence would be passed on to the club selling the card, and to make the purchase compulsory by every full member of every club.
The accounts and the annual report were accepted without debate.
Then came the motion to reduce the National Executive from 27 to 16 members. The motion was moved on behalf of the National Executive by Barry Slasberg and seconded by the Union Vice President John Tobin. No one came forward to either oppose or support the motion. The vote was a huge majority in favour of the motion. The reduction will come into effect at the next annual election in 2011.
The final motion was about the pass card and associate card as stated above. The motion was moved on behalf of the National Executive by the Union Accountant Steve Connell who offered a clear and reasoned argument for the proposal. He gave an clear statement of the consequences should our club members not be willing to pay £2 a year to support the movement. This was seconded by the chairman of the finance committee. It was followed by a healthy debate that went straight into a vote that did not look to provide the two thirds majority required to change the rules. No actual count was taken and the chairman declared the motion lost.
Finally the General Secretary gave a review of many items currently concerning the CIU.
A full verbatim report of the meeting will be published in the next edition of the Journal.
The results of both of the motions will each have far reaching implications for the future of CIU. There are certainly some very interesting and challenging times ahead. We will attempt to keep you fully informed of developments as they arise.
Equality Act Receives Royal Assent.
The Equality Act 2010 received Royal Assent from Parliament on 8th April 2010. The Act was pushed through Parliament before it dissolved for the General Election. The main provisions of the Act will not come into force automatically. They will need to be brought in by Ministerial Order. It was anticipated that the Act would come into force in October 2010, but this may now change.
The Act consolidates the numerous pieces of existing discrimination legislation into one Act. It introduces new laws banning discrimination in private clubs in respect of members, potential members, associates, guests and potential guests and generally strengthens anti-discriminatory legislation. The Act protects against discrimination (subject to certain exemptions) in respect of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnerships, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or beliefs, sex and sexual orientation.
An issue covered by the Act, which is pertinent to clubs, is the banning of discrimination in private clubs. For example, sex discrimination will be unlawful (except in relation to single-sex clubs) and so will age discrimination against people aged 18 and over where goods are brought and services provided (subject to certain exceptions).
The Government in the process of producing draft codes of practice with relation to the Act. It is safe to say that once the law comes into force there will be no discrimination between the rights and obligations of men and women members in our club, but as stated earlier, the time for implementation is yet to be decided.
We will keep you informed as matters progress.
Room Hire.
We still have a few vacant Saturdays in 2010. If you are planning an event this year don’t leave it to late.
The cost to hire the concert room is only £150. You can also hire it on Sunday afternoons for Christenings at a reduced rate. We also have several smaller rooms available mid week. If you would like details contact the secretary on 01604 719800.
Sport For All.
Letter from two members (names supplied)
On Saturday evening 10th April the club was like a football or rugby match, the noise from the regular drunks shouting at the top of their voices made a lot of regular customers leave. This club has a lot of older customers who do not appreciate the noise from these hooligans. They should have been asked to leave and not be served with more drink i.e. spirits.
E.C. response
It is only natural for sport to bring out the passion in its supporters. No one would deny a hearty cheer, an urging to do better or a groan at some stupid mistake.
Noise to be so loud and menacing that people feel uncomfortable and threatened in their own club should not happen.
By all means show passion, but please temper this with consideration for other members who do not share the passion but do want to share the club's facilities in peace with their own company and supporters of sport.

New Kids on the Block.
Following suggestions from our members and staff look out for two new additions to our wide range of drinks.
Corona Extra. Lighter than traditional beers, with a crisp and refreshing taste.
This light, dry beer has pleasant malt and hop notes with a round dry finish.
Regardless of the time of the year, Corona is best served ice cold, with a wedge of lime that complements and intensifies the flavour through the palate. It's the perfect beer to be enjoyed with a group of friends.
ABV: 4.6%
From Crabbies comes a new and truly deliciously refreshing alcoholic ginger beer for the summer 2010. We think Crabbie’s Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer is best served over ice with a slice of lemon. And what a splendid all rounder it is! A top tipple whatever the weather.
ABV: 4%

CIU Annual General Meeting.
The Annual General Meeting of the CIU was held at the Opera House in the Winter Gardens Complex in Blackpool on Saturday 10th April 2010.
The meeting was charged with anticipation as it was chaired by our new National President, George Dawson with the backing of our new General Secretary Mick McGlasham, and contained two notices of motion put forward by the National Executive both of which were believed crucial to the future security and prosperity of the Union.
George Dawson's presidential address was charged with emotion decrying lack of support from the Breweries; all of whom he stated are now owned by Continental companies that are only interested in selling product, and have no interest in supporting outlets like our clubs. He warned how much we are alone in the world but that pulling together we have the ability to come through the recession into a prosperous future.
The auditor for the CIU presented the accounts for the year to 30th September 09. He warned that things could not go on as they are. The loss for the year was over £1 million and that is clearly not sustainable. He commended the upcoming motion to merge the associate and pass cards into one annual associate card costing only £2 of which 20 pence would be passed on to the club selling the card, and to make the purchase compulsory by every full member of every club.
The accounts and the annual report were accepted without debate.
Then came the motion to reduce the National Executive from 27 to 16 members. The motion was moved on behalf of the National Executive by Barry Slasberg and seconded by the Union Vice President John Tobin. No one came forward to either oppose or support the motion. The vote was a huge majority in favour of the motion. The reduction will come into effect at the next annual election in 2011.
The final motion was about the pass card and associate card as stated above. The motion was moved on behalf of the National Executive by the Union Accountant Steve Connell who offered a clear and reasoned argument for the proposal. He gave an clear statement of the consequences should our club members not be willing to pay £2 a year to support the movement. This was seconded by the chairman of the finance committee. It was followed by a healthy debate that went straight into a vote that did not look to provide the two thirds majority required to change the rules. No actual count was taken and the chairman declared the motion lost.
Finally the General Secretary gave a review of many items currently concerning the CIU.
A full verbatim report of the meeting will be published in the next edition of the Journal.
The results of both of the motions will each have far reaching implications for the future of CIU. There are certainly some very interesting and challenging times ahead. We will attempt to keep you fully informed of developments as they arise.
