Dear Members
My 12th Newsletter & now on the run down to the end of my year as your president. You’ll be seeing a new face & probably a more interesting newsletter in May.
The EGM – Minutes are now on the website and the notice boards. Please do look out for the notice of the AGM on Wed 15th May with the usual nominations for committee posts to be in by 30th April.
There is an opportunity for members & their immediate family to advertise their business on the events TV in the club, the initial offer is for 6 months of advertising for £50. Please contact the club for further details.
What’s been going on
The Mother’s Day afternoon was another success for the club. A huge thank you to Sonia for organising, with the assistance given from Shelia, Sarah & our lovely servers Polly & Ava, to make this event a resounding success😊.
St Patricks Day evening was another sell out event for the club, “Fexless” did not disappoint again, their last visit to us was 2016. I’m sure their may have been a few sore heads the next morning judging by the Guinness sales that evening. Once again, our bar staff pulled it off again in ensuring that the drinks flowed steadily (Well done😊). I will remind members to book early for tickets to save disappointment, as we had numerous requests for tickets near the event date. You must book early as all events are now selling out regularly, a waiting list will operate but we are limited on numbers. I would also like to remind members that for ticket only functions, members cannot attend to use members room without a ticket.
The Spindler Quiz was due to be held 23rd March has been moved to 13th April. Apologies if this causes any inconvenience.
What’s on over the next few months;
31st April (Sunday 3-5)
If the weather holds up the club is hoping to hold its first garden event of 2024, however we can always move this indoors should the conditions go against us. Please bring a picnic to this free event.
7th April Kids Easter Party
The book is open to book your children/grandchildren in the club for our traditional Easter Party. Timings are approx. 3-5pm with an entertainer a light snack for the children (If parents behave, we may give them some snacks too😊). As usual it is limited to club children to a maximum of 50 children. Book now Open
20th April Mucky Fingers (a St Georges Day celebration)
An indie rock band playing covers from artists such as: Killers, The Kooks, Artic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, Oasis, Simple Minds, Razorlight, Kaiser Chiefs to name but a few. If your into that, get your tickets early. £5 members & guests’ tickets on sale 22nd March
2nd Aug Goodwood
Our annual visit to Goodwood Races is being put on sale early this year due to the very high demand for tickets last year. Pricing is the same as last year with some light refreshments on offer once we reach the coach park @ £40 per person. We have two initial coaches booked with a further coach on hold should demand reach the required limit to enable a third coach. Tickets went on sale on 9th Feb with full ticket price required on booking. Last few places going now & we will close the book on this soon
I also issue an appeal for any businesses or individuals who would like to support the installation of a Community Defibrillator External Cabinet, that could be used in cases of cardiac arrest. The national defibrillator network provides the NHS ambulance services with vital information about defibrillators across the UK so that in those crucial moments after a cardiac arrest, they can be accessed quickly to help save lives. www.thecircuit.uk Please contact me if you can help, donations of any size will be gratefully accepted.
