Chairman's Message
19th June 2025
Hello all,
I hope this finds you all well. I haven’t got a whole heap of news currently, except to say that the Club is enjoying quite a busy period at the moment. The weather helps, also I can’t help but think that the current Chase the Ace prize is helping too.
We put out an advertisement recently for a person who would like to work alongside Bev in the kitchen. After several interviews, Jackie has appointed a chap who will start in the near future. He seems very keen and I hope he will be a great asset and deliver some superb food. This of course will free Jackie up to concentrate on her duties as Bar Manager and Treasurer. With this in mind, we are also working on an internal advert for the position of Assistant Bar Manager and it would be great if we could promote from within as we have some skilled and dedicated staff.
On Monday 23rd June, Tim McBride and I have a meeting with our web designer. Now that we have the site properly up and running, we would like to explore what other enhancements can be added, in order to make your viewing experience a better one. Tim will be adding to the ‘What’s On’ page regularly and maybe we will change the design of that area to make it easier for you to see what’s what! Whilst not wanting to ‘bombard you’ with information, we need to ensure that we reach the widest audience possible, so 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. We will also make a more concerted effort to display reminder information on our Facebook page on a more regular basis.
Saturday 30th August is our annual Charity Fun Day where we all come together to raise money for our nominated charity which as you know, this year is the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA). This is a fantastic charity that relies solely on donations as they get no Government funding at all. If any of you lovely people have and bottles of booze, unwanted gifts or anything that you this we could raffle or auction, please do let us know. I’m happy to come and collect from you if it makes it easier, just click on the ‘Email Lee’ button below and let me know.
Stay Safe !
