Free Service For Members.
It’s been reported this month there’s £42,900,000 of coins stuck down the back of the sofa. So I want to set all our members a challenge, to snoop in the nooks and crannies and see what you can find. Places to check, back of sofas, back of car seats, pockets of old clothes, bottom of the washing basket, back of 'man' drawer, bottom of wardrobe, and lint trap of tumble dryer. Maybe you have been saving your coins in a jar or tin.
As a service to our members we will change all your silver and pound coins into notes absolutely FREE. Unfortunately we cannot except copper coins.
Of course there are alternative ways to change your coins, you can take them to Morrisons where they will charge you 8% for providing them with change.

Concert Room Bar.
At busy times members have been having difficulties gaining entry into the concert room due to the queues at the bar and the bingo table.

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.
