Dear Members
As the club gradually returns to operating the way it did pre-covid, I wanted to share some important information with you as we finalise our plans for the remainder of the year. Events not featured in this bulletin such as Christmas dinner, Bottomless brunch and New Years Eve will be publicised soon. Coming soon also will be a buildings update including proposals to refurbish our bar, which we think is in the region of 20 years old.
In the meantime
We are fortunate to have a team of new and experienced staff at the club, at a time when a lot of people have left the hospitality industry. They are our most valuable asset, and I’d like to remind everyone that we should all support them and respect the difficult job they do.
Our temporary membership is full, and we now have a waiting list of 25 people too. If you are a temporary member or you know one, please ensure you sign into the club each time you come, and visit the club regularly. This will help when the time comes to review temporary memberships or when available upgrade to full membership.
It’s ironic that we have a near perfect retention of members and an ever-growing waiting list and yet attendance at events is not where we’d like it to be.
Our summer events were extremely well supported and well
received. But as the weather has turned colder and we bought our events indoors, we haven’t seen the same level of support (despite getting great feedback from those who did come).
We understand that health concerns may have contributed, but we’d welcome any additional feedback you may have about what’s stopped you from getting involved. You can reach us on: [email protected].
We have a plan in place to update the website and streamline our communications, but for now Email will continue to be our preferred method of communicating with you all.
As / when new events are announced we’ll provide full details on our website, via email, on the screen in the bar and on our new Carlton Club Families Facebook page (click for the link)
