Special Offer.
Diamond White. Only £2 a bottle.
While stocks last.
What do you want?
Our local MP Brian Binley has been making quite a splash in the local press and on TV trying to get a smoking room approved for all pubs and clubs who want them for their clientele or members.
When the ban was introduced we all agreed that it made for a much more pleasant place to be, but there was sympathy for smokers who were literally kicked out of the club by the Government and there seemed to be broad approval to ask for a smoking room as they had in pubs and clubs the last time there was an anti smoking campaign about a hundred years ago.
Leave aside whether or not Brian Binley's efforts will bear fruit, please let the committee know whether or not you think we should join with Mr Binley in his campaign.
We have been asked to host a meeting of the "Freedom to choose" movement in September that may bring influential folk from far and wide to consider this problem.
Your Committee is pledged to fight for its member’s rights, but needs to know if you want to be fought for on this matter.
Email; write or put a note in the suggestion box. If you just mention it in conversation it may be forgotten so it needs to be in writing.
The question is not whether or not we will succeed, but whether or not we should fight.
Just as a point of fact, we had a credit of about £2000 from Northampton Borough Council as a refund of our rates because of the proven damage to our club turnover as a direct result of the smoking ban.
Its over to you.
Committee Vacancies.
Due to illness and resignations the Committee has not been at full strength for some time.
There are two vacancies and volunteers are invited for those posts. The holders of those posts will also take a full part; as a member of the management committee; in the management of the club.
To qualify, the applicants must be full financial members of at least six month’s standing.
For further details as regards the responsibilities of a Committee Member and how to register your interest please see Barry Slasberg.
In these difficult times, people with time, energy and dedication are needed more than ever to support and help run your club.
Dear Newsletter Readers.
After last nights QUIZ (28th July) I felt that I had to write this letter.
Firstly I would like to thank all the regular quiz players that turn out in all weathers, but after last night I felt that some of them deserved a special mention.
The special ones were the team US 4 plus 1 whose members were Clint, Tom, Mick, Brian and John who won the rolled over ACES HIGH JACKPOT of £112 and donated half of it to the HELP FOR HERO’S charity. They have also donated other winnings on many other occasions when they have won the quiz.
Also a mention for Ken, Matt, Alan And Joy (Joys Jugs) who also donated £20 to charity a couple of weeks ago.
So a BIG thank you to them all for there generosity.
Quizmaster Bob Horner

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.

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.
