Dear Members
My 11th Newsletter to you & it’s a short one before the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia beckons me to explore its mountains.
There have been several occasions where members have been passing their membership card onto non-members. Please be aware that cards may be retained by staff & committee informed. Your membership is at risk.
The EGM held on 19th Feb was attended by around a hundred members with the membership fee being agreed for 2024/25. I would like to thank all those members who attended & contributed to the discussions which resulted in an alternative proposal being adopted. You will have notice in due course from the secretary for the fees due from1st April.
What’s been going on
The Jaspers & the Corsairs were the last two events put on for the pleasure of members & their guests. Two extremely good bands & both were requested and booked by members. If you would like to do similar, please give me details to see if there are dates in the calendar free so we can book them in.
What’s on over the next few months;
10th March Mother’s Day
Mum’s are the best, so let’s treat yours to an afternoon of Sarnies, Cake & Prosecco or wine mixed with the velvety tunes of Russell Keith. You know that’s the best deal in town at £15 & Half price for children (no prosecco but unlimited drinks from the gun) Tickets on Sale Now
16th March Fexless
Its St Patrick’s Day in the club this year with the returning Fexless, be prepared for a crazy night of Irish & lively tunes. They are described as a Lively Irish Band with a Fecking Twist, should be a real treat again. Food is included this gig with special pricing on selected drinks. Tickets on Sale Now Only £8 & members are reminded this is a ticket only event If you wish to wear something green to celebrate that’ll be wonderful, I will be, although it may be just a hat.
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
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.
On a personal level I have 8 tickets to Goodwood for Thursday (Ladies Day) 1st Aug, to include entry to Gordon enclosure, minibus outward & return £60. These are first come first served basis.
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.
