THE WINCHESTER CLUB
MARCH NEWSLETTER 2022
Hello Everyone!
Not sure where to begin this Month.
The AGM was a mixture of good, bad and surprises, with only 59 out of 500+ Members attending. Firstly, I have to announce that our then Chairman, Jerry Wahlberg resigned due to health reasons. Therefore there was no ballot and Rob Doulton became Chairman. So your Committee for 2022 is as follows;
President……………Jack Cummings
Vice President…….Jean Feltham
Chairman ……….…Rob Doulton
Secretary……………Chick Adams
Treasurer…… ……..Len Benton
Chris Ralph, Dave Young, Eileen Elloway, Ian Stanbrook, Julian Williams, Linda Jacobs, Sandie Murray, Nick Hancock, Graham Smith

‘Launch Night’ was well attended and Ant and Dave had the place rocking! Fiona and Mike provided us with a wonderful buffet. There were a lot of new faces, which brings me to a GENTLE REMINDER.
Members are requested to carry their membership cards when they use the Club. Non-Members can be signed in by a fully paid up Member who knows them personally for two visits per month.
Another important thing you all need to be aware of is our Dress Code to avoid any embarrassment.
