Club member Chris Wells has asked me to confirm that, contrary to the statement in the Accountant’s Letter provided to club members, he is not in debt to the club nor has he ever been in debt to the club. I apologise to Chris for the distress the statement in the accountant’s letter has caused him.

He has also asked me to provide an explanation of what occurred, which was a technical timing matter, and not the fault of Chris. This is a summary of what I told him. As I explained to members present at the AGM, after close of the banking day on 31st October (the last day of our financial year) but before midnight, Chris purchased some club event tickets using Paypal. This left our accounting system with confirmation that the purchase had gone through in the 2017/18 financial year, but without sight of the actual payment, as the transfer from Paypal to our bank account took place in the 2018/19 accounting year. The system therefore left the transaction flagged on the accounts as a debt as of 31st October 2018. Our accountants look at the accounts at a point in time and are therefore not able to differentiate between a debt in the normal sense of the word, and a technical timing ‘debt’ issue that will naturally resolve. The ‘debt’ has subsequently resolved itself.

Bar & Galley Duties for 2019

Dear Fellow Tudors,

I am offering you the chance of a life time.

How would you like to meet other members, get out of your home for a few hours and go to a friendly scenic and fun environment, learn a new skill and do your maintenance at the same time.

Sounds to good to be true, I hear you say.

Well we are offering you the opportunity to run your own Bar or your own Kitchen for a few hours at a time.

Yes unlock those suppressed desires of being the local Publican in a friendly local boozer, who supplies great beer and food.

Full training and support will be given to anyone who would like to be the next Jamie or Nigella, Den or Angie.

If you would like to join the team who always puts a smile on everyone’s face. Send an e mail to:

Mark Tranter barmanager or

Wendy Jones socialsec.

Don’t be shy we don’t bite and who knows you might enjoy it. Its a great way to meet other members.

Bar Beer Pipe Cleaners Required

Dear Fellow Club Members,

I have a very rare and totally fulfilling opportunity available to two club members. Not only is this a great activity it is also, “wait for it” your full yearly maintenance.

• If you would like to do your bit for the club.
• If you would like to do it when it best suits yourself.
• If you have 1 hour every 3 weeks available to complete this vital task.

Then contact Mark Tranter, Bar Manager.

The task is to sterilise the beer pipes, remove the recycling. Full training will be given. You don’t have to like beer but makes the tasking at the end a nicer experience.

For more information email me. First come first served. Don’t be shy.
