Chairman's Message
8th May 2025
Hello all,
We see to be enjoying some dry and warm weather of late. I hope it lasts a good while yet.
Following a Committee meeting that was held on 4th May, one of the agenda items was regarding the showing of membership cards. We are finding an increase in the amount of people saying , “it’s in my other wallet”, or “I forgot and left it at home”.
This was discussed at length and the decision was made to add a by-law to the existing framework, which is shown below.
“Any member who cannot produce their membership card when requested to by the door person or bar staff, will be required to sign in and will pay £1.00 to gain entry to the Club. This money will not be kept by the Club, but will be donated to the relevant charity being supported at the time”.
We feel that this is fair and have received support for this addition to the By-Laws. If anyone wishes to disagree with this, please drop me an e-mail or a letter in the box in the Club foyer, remembering to add your name and membership number.
Just as a reminder, following the first meeting of the new Committee in late December 2024, it was agreed that a change to the annual subscription renewal be brought in. With immediate effect, there will be no grace period for renewing memberships after they fall due at 30th September each year. Everyone knows that the renewal time is the same time every year and yet regularly we have many people who do not renew on time and have to be chased. Memberships can be renewed before the cut off date and if you do so early, your membership is still valid through to the following 30th September. Please speak to myself or any Committee member for clarification if you need it.
As always, don’t forget to keep an eye on the ‘What’s On’ page for up-coming events. This information will also always be on the tv screens in the Club, along with info on the notice boards and flyers.
Stay Safe !
