Easter Celebration 2022 Extra Extra !!! BBQ

 

Good Afternoon Gentlemen

On behalf of the social committee

BBQ - Extra event on Easter Sunday 

Trevor will be hosting his world famous BBQ.  £2.50 for a Hot Dog or Burger.

Easter Party The social committee are celebrating Easter with a party for everyone, Sunday April 17th is the date for this event, starting at 13:00. Katy Kukstas has worked tirelessly to help create a fun day for all, including a colouring competition for all ages (age groups are, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-11) there is a prize for every child entering with a special prize for the winner of each age group. Entry packs are available behind the bar.

In addition to the Easter Colouring competition, every child attending the Event will receive an Easter Goody Bag.  To help the social committee, and Katy, to run the event with the smoothness and grace of a slippery eel, a list has been placed behind the bar for you to add each of the children who wish to enter the colouring competition, and/or are attending the Event. It is important to add children's names to the list behind the bar as we do not want any child to be disappointed and so we need names in advance.  In the function room, there will be a Lucky Dip and Tombola, (these are one of the most popular offerings at the Christmas party) Live singing sensation "Keith" will be in the main bar area, belting out his repertoire of songs from the past, I'm sure most of you have heard him sing before (so don't forget your ear-muffs) and he will be returning here as the demand has requested (at least Trevor Rock has).
There will also be a raffle held in the main bar area.

Membership and New Application for Membership Information as at 1st April, 2022

 Good Day Gentlemen

Just a quick update on membership and new member applications.

We are fast approaching the clubs initial membership limit for this year, only 60 spaces left.

If you have proposed or seconded a new application for membership and that person has not heard from me by now then it is either -

  1. We have an incorrect email
  2. The email went to junk/spam.
  3. No email was given to us for contact.
  4. The application is recent and has not been processed yet.
If an application was only received in the last 4 weeks then it will go before the committee on the 12th April. A list of new applicants will then be posted on the notice board on Wednesday 13th for member approval. New applicants will receive notification a week later to pick a date for their intake meeting. Dates available below.

Please do check with the people you proposed / seconded to see if they still want to become members.

Amazingly I have 56 people who applied to join the club over the last 6 months but have not followed up their application.

If they do want to join then they can arrange to meet me on one of the many intake dates that are arranged for the rest of the year, to complete their membership application,

Make sure that they let me know which date they will attend to join the club, via email to cavershamwmclub@btconnect.com

These are the dates and additional information

Initial Fees that need to be paid on the day of your meeting are as follows -
Administration and card fee                  £20
Annual Membership Fee if 65+             £12.50
Annual Membership Fee if under 65     £25

Please note that a new rule for new members has been introduced:
All new members must visit the club 2 x per season, a total of 8 times per year. The committee have the right to revoke membership if the required number of visits is not met.
