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.

Subscriptions 2012
Membership subscriptions for 2012 have been affected by the increase cost of the pass card that was voted in at the Annual General Meeting of the Working Men's Club & Institute Union in Blackpool on 9th April.
The motion to put the Pass Card up to £3.50 including VAT from £2.55 plus VAT was passed by the two-thirds majority required. With the different VAT treatment this is an increase to the CIU of only 36 pence.
The subscription for all members for 2012 will therefore be £8.50 per member, be they male, female or over 65. Life members will only have to pay £3.50 for their pass card.
Subscriptions shall be taken in January as follows:
Sundays 8th 15th 22nd 29th from 11.00 to 13.00
Mondays 9th 16th 23rd 30th from 19.30 to 21.00
Tuesdays 10th 17th 24th 31st from 19.30 to 21.00
Wednesdays 11th 18th 25th from 19.30 to 21.00
Fridays 13th 20th 27th from 19.30 to 21.00
Saturdays 14th 21st 28th from 12.00 to 13.30
Members who have not paid by the end of January become members in arrears and cannot enter the club or use its facilities until they come in to pay their subs at the following times in February.
Sundays 5th 12th 19th 26th from 12.00 to 13.00
Mondays 6th 13th 20th 27th from 19.30 to 21.00
Those who have not paid by 28th February cease to be members in accordance with the rules.
You may pay in person at one of the above sessions or a friend or fellow member may pay on your behalf. They just need to bring your red or white membership card. You may pay by cheque through the post enclosing your membership card and a stamped self-addressed envelope. If you are having difficulty in arranging payment by the due date please contact the Secretary. We do not want to lose one member through non-payment of subscriptions
Could we ask members who will become life members in 2012 to claim their life membership this year so we can get cards ready when they come in to pay their subs rather than send them away to come back later.
E.C.
Grant.We have given Amy Forbes a donation from our Children In Need Fund towards her trip to the USA with the guides. We have received a very nice thank-you card from her that is on the notice board.

"WHAT is a Working Men's Club?"
Sometimes dating back more than 100 years, they are to often places which modern leisure seekers do not even think of visiting or so it seems from the dwindling membership and falling attendance figures suffered by many venues.
Many people were shocked when they read a recent story in the Chronicle & Echo which stated the Far Cotton Working Men's Club which had been running for 104 years could soon close unless immediate financial help is found.
Crunch time came on Monday 24th October, when members turned out in force to vote against the proposed closure of the club.
More than 150 of the club’s 500 members attended the meeting and the majority voted against the proposal to dissolve the club.
Chairman of the committee, Kath Dawes, said: “The motion was put to the members and they rejected the proposal to dissolve the club. Now comes the hard work to keep the club open.”
She said the smoking ban, the recession and a 10-day closure imposed by Northampton Borough Council’s licensing authority earlier this year, following a problem with a temporary event notice, had all contributed to the club’s struggle. She added: “We now need to generate some serious cash into the club to keep it open.
“Members are trying to come up with ideas. We need members and the community to give one last big push to save the club.
But what has happened to make life so difficult for working men's clubs today? Kathleen said: "The smoking ban has really affected a lot of people. People think why should I go out and stand in the cold and smoke? They can go to the supermarket, buy something to drink, stay home and drink that. "I think mainly it is because of smoking but also they keep increasing the prices of the budget on beer and the breweries pass on the increases to us. Our prices aren't dear but we do need some that are cheaper."
She continued: "We do have a good amount of support. People have been saying 'we don't want the club to shut' but I say 'it is not down to me, it is down to the members'. We have nearly 500 members and if some of them visited it even one day a week it would be a real boost."
The club is working hard to keep people attending, Kathleen's husband 50 year old Trevor, a trustee, said he joined the club when he was 18.
He said: "We used to go when we were kids, we were not allowed into pubs. It was a lot busier but then there were more houses here, and we had Airflow Streamlines having its union meetings here and other unions had their meetings here. "We always had entertainment on but obviously we have had to. It is still well used and we have a lot of younger members now as they can't take kids into pubs."
Although Kingsley Park Working Men's Club still has an active social scene, membership figures have fallen over the last decade according to general secretary Barry Slasberg, who is also on the national executive'.
He said: "At one stage 10 years ago we had 2,600 or 2,700 members and now we still have about 2,000 members. Numbers are declining but we have to fight for our members by providing what they want."
But governmental decisions have made life tough for WMC’s, according to Barry. He said: "The Government seems hell-bent on impacting on our organization, under the Gambling Act, for example. Families used to play bingo in the WMC, kids would come along with parents who looked over their shoulders. Everyone had a laugh. Under the Gambling Act all of a sudden children weren't allowed to play bingo as it is gambling; but it is no such thing, it is just a fun activity."
He added: "The smoking ban is still having a huge effect on working men's clubs and pubs and businesses. There is a big movement called SOP AC (Save Our Pubs And Clubs). We don't want the smoking ban dissolved but we want the facility to have a smoking room where available.
"There is nothing illegal about smoking, it is a legal pastime which should be allowed."
Meanwhile at Monks Park Working Men's Club in Northampton, the social scene is still going well with 1,480 members, according to secretary Don Harris.
He believes some clubs need to put more effort into the management of their venues, treating them as businesses, despite the fact they are not-for-profit.
He said: "You are not allowed to make a profit but you have to take it in the right direction. People have it in their heads it is just a working men's club but it has to be managed like a business.
"I think we are one of the successful working men's clubs and the smoking ban has not affected us.
"If you have the wrong steward in, things can crumble. In the past it used to be family oriented, your dad would be the steward and mum the secretary and they might not have experience in that field. You need someone in place who knows what they are doing, whether that is pulling a pint or managing the staff and customers,"
He added: "I think the image of working men's clubs could do with a spruce up. It still carries the stigma of being an old person's club. That would help I'm sure."
Emergency Exits & Fire Doors.
Emergency exits must be kept clear at all times. It has been brought to the committees attention that children have been playing on the back stairs between the games room and the ladies toilets, not only have been drawing on the walls but been using stones from the garden to make holes in the walls. Children have been running all over the club including the concert room and games rooms playing hide and seek and tag. We welcome children in the club but only if their parents keep them under control and in their sight at all times.
Fire doors are clearly marked and must be kelp closed at all times. The back stairs between the games room and the ladies toilets are a fire escape and should be treated as such. Not as a short cut from the games room to the smoking area.

There are currently three casual vacancies on the Committee. Volunteers are asked to put their names forward to help steer the club to a secure and bright future. This is a task for people with time to commit, especially at weekends (But not necessarily every weekend!). It is a task for people who believe in our great club and all it stands for. It is a task for the dedicated and not for the faint hearted.
If you are interested and have been a member since before the first of April 2011, please see the General Secretary for more details. All these vacancies are open to both men and women members.
Mini Tote.

The draw is made Sunday at 1pm and you can check the results on our Facebook page.

The Young Team.
Jay Cattell 21 Garry Matthews 20, Dan Byrne 17 and Connor Singleton 14 have got together and formed a team to play in the Northampton Town Snooker League. They are playing as Kingsley C come along on Tuesday nights and give them your support.
It is good to see the youngsters getting involved, as they are our future.
Our pool ladies darts and ladies skittle teams have also got a few youngsters representing them.
Games News
Kingsley’s darts team were well beaten in the final at Corby by Irthingbourgh. Although Kev Brown gave us a good start by winning the first two legs we just could not get going. Kev hit a couple of 140’s Dan Eaton had 5 scores over 120 and had the highest score on the night with 145. Steve Burgess had a couple of tons Don Ward had two 140’s and four more scores of 100 or over and Martin Gamble had six scores of 100 or more and all lost their games along with Jeff Billingham. Jim Fowell did not play his legs, as the match had already been lost.
It was a much closer match in the final of the Cribbage with Kingsley narrowly loosing their final.
Kenny Andrews was also unlucky in the regional finals of the poker. He tells us if he had not played his final hand and had hung on for 30 seconds he would have finished in the top 10 and would have qualified for the next phase. But 11th place out of the hundreds of players is a honourable achievement.
The Golden China Resturant and The Beijing Palace Take Away are offering our members a 20% discount. To qualify simply show them your membership cards when ordering. 10% discount at County Florist.Show your membership cards and get a discount on all your floristry needs.
