If you cast your mind back to Presentation Night on Saturday 19th November, you might remember a couple of members (thanks Janet and Stuart) taking photos throughout the night? Well after a wrestle with the camera, I finally got them … Continue reading
Welcome again to the first newsletter after the appointment of the new committee for the coming year. I have agreed to take on the presidency for another year to hopefully allow the club to grow even stronger, ready for a new president next year. It is pleasing to note we have some new people on the committee which will hopefully bring new ideas and some fresh thinking of ways to aid the clubs development.
For those who couldn’t make the AGM last Wednesday a few things were decided, namely we will be introducing a payment card for people who would rather pay their fees over an extended period, further details are listed below. We will not be using the services of STS Green maintenance this year, the meeting felt this was a lot of money to be spent for not a lot of difference on the green. And very pleasing was the appointment of Barbara Herschell as an honorary member. There was a lengthy debate about the team selections for Friday night bowling, which I believe more help would go some way to alleviate people’s concerns. There are lots of things going to happen at the club over the next 2 months which I would take much personal pleasure in welcoming you all along, please read on and if there are any comments you would like to make or anything you would like to see in future editions of the newsletter to please feel free to contact me.
Many thanks for your support, Iain McKenzie!
Payment Cards
We will be introducing for the first time the option of a payment card, this will be available from behind the bar and payments can be made the same way. As long as the membership is paid in full by the due date, any member can pay as much or as little as they wish. It is felt that the amount of money families pay in one go is a lot and the payment card may help us retain members, or even gain some more?
Burns Night
For the first time in a number of years, we have decided to have a Celebration of Burns evening. This night will be strictly limited by number and suffice to say it should be fun. We have a professional toastmaster, a piper, and actor and yet to be confirmed an after dinner speaker. Waitress service on the evening has also been arranged.
Hogmanay Celebrations
This year we will be having New Year celebrations but geared more for you, the members. Again ticket only, at a cost of £5, and any member is welcome, tickets are limited. We must insist that all non members have a ticket and be over 21, yes ID will be required. The fun starts at 7:30PM, disco, buffet, dancing, singing, and I’m sure plenty of drink to see out the old and in the new.
You’re Committee Members For 2011/2012
We still have space on the committee for further members and would welcome an approach by anyone wishing to join in with the running of the club. Whether just with bowling, the bar management, green maintenance or indeed helping the selectors, any offer of help welcomed. Thanks!
Christmas Parties
Some of you may be aware the notice is up for names for the Seniors Christmas Party which is on Saturday 17th December at 4PM. Any member who is aged 60 or over is very welcome to join us. If any member would like their partner to join in, please use the sheet to let us know. Evening entertainment has been confirmed for this and any member is welcome to attend.
The Children’s Christmas Party is the following day, Sunday 18th December from about 1:30PM onwards. We have confirmed the same disco/entertainer as last year and Santa will do his best to attend, but he’s very busy at this time of year. Again there is a sheet up for names, we must remind members the rules are a maximum of 2 people, either children or grandchildren of members only, we cannot accommodate neighbours children or best friends, and so forth.
