Following recent changes to the club committee we report the following actions designed to arrest the poor financial position of the club, enhancement of the facilities and growth in income required for the long term sustainability of the club.
A new deal has been negotiated with Carlsberg UK who will be our sole supplier. Members will see a reduction in prices and new products will be introduced at the bar. The deal also included promotional arrangements enabling us to enhance the facility (see below)
Bars and Cellar will be refurbished by Carlsberg UK and this will enable us to reduce prices whilst maintaining gross margins. There will be additional savings through greatly reduced wastage (ullage)
A new Point of Sale (electronic till) system is being installed at no cost to the club. This will allow promotional prices to be enabled, for example bar prices for Cup Final / Royal wedding day sponsored at £2.00 per pint with the same deal for every game in World Cup and further Carlsberg promotions for each England game
We have added televisions all around the main lounge which means multiple sports and other events can be watched simultaneously satisfying more members who can enjoy their preferred sports and hopefully stay longer at the Club, enjoying the various new brands of beer, wine, and spirits
The Ariel Lounge is being refurbished with new French door, low ceiling, new and ‘mood’ lights and a fresh coat of paint
Refurbishment of the foyer, ladies & gents toilets will be carried out in the very near future
The Car Park is being repaired
The roof has been repaired where it previously leaked in the lounge
We will continue to work hard to secure the future of the club and will continue to update you of progress towards this aim
Richard Lennon, Chairman
