Dear Members
“THANKS!”
Firstly, a big thank you to all who supported us over the Jubilee weekend. It was nice to see the club getting back to full strength. The Committee wishes to place on record its thanks to the Steward and her staff who worked so hard. We are grateful too to “Off the Wagon”” who played on Sunday afternoon at the indoor barbecue. We are trying to persuade them to make a return appearance and will be holding another barbecue in the Summer.

FAMILY MEMBERSHIP
We have a number of requests from members who have their families visiting. At present a member can only sign in one guest and only twice a month.The Committee has therefore decided to offer temporary membership for a month to visiting relatives. Membership will be for a month and will be £5 per family (up to 4adults).
NEW TILL SYSTEM AND DOOR ENTRY
After some teething problems the new till system has been installed. Eventually swipe cards will replace our fobs. These will be issued to new members. For the present both systems will operate alongside one another.
BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE
We have had a condition survey undertaken of the building. We are looking to complete the considerable number of repairs on a programmed basis. We prioritised the kitchen and have replaced the dishwasher and flooring. Next on the agenda is external painting at the rear of the club.this is scheduled for July. We are also getting more roof repairs done and are awaiting the erection of the scaffolding.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
We have had a fire safety survey undertaken and all exit signs and extinguishers are now in place.
We are concerned about disabled access to the building and have purchased a ramp which is stored near the front door. Please advise staff if you or a guest needs to use it. We have also purchased a fold up wheel chair which is also stored near the main entrance.
“email addresses”
We are currently updating our list of members’ email addresses. If you are reading this newsletter on line or on a paper copy in the bar and have not received an email, please let the Club Secretary know and she will add your name to the list.
