THE WINCHESTER CLUB
APRIL NEWSLETTER 2025
At last Spring is finally here, we have sunshine and colour in our lives once more. We hope you will come along to our V.E.Day 80 years on! Just reminding you in case you forget. We are celebrating our winning the war in Europe. So find some old war time clothes and come along and join in the singing with the Vintage Sweethearts. Mike and Fiona will replicate a couple of menus from the time for you to try!!
UPDATE FROM THE COMMITTEE.
The Management Committee are aware that some Members are continuing to use excessive foul language. Foul language can be upsetting, offensive, disrespectful and can contribute to an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Club rules state that drunkenness, bad language or disorderly conduct is not acceptable on Club premises. Continued use of foul language may result in suspension or termination of your Membership.
Committee Members and Bar Staff have been reminded that they can enforce the rules regarding this problem.
The Committee are also aware that some Members do not have the confidence in the Committee to deal with unacceptable behaviour in a confidential manner. As such, the Committee will be addressing this matter. In the meantime, if a Member has a concern, then they should speak to the Secretary (Chick Adams) and discuss it with him in private.
SMOKING AREA
We are about to get into the Bowling season and there will be a lot more activity on the Patio for matches and roll-ups. We would ask the Smokers to be aware of these activities and that there are a lot of non-smokers who like to watch or play bowls. Therefore, we ask the smokers not to smoke on the Ramp or near the Club exit doors. Please use the top end of the patio beside the wooden shed.
PARKING
It is important that you display your parking permit when you are at the Club. During the Bowls Season, there will be a lot more cars parking during matches. It helps us identify who should not be parking!
Please respect Members who are using the Club Facilities!
BOWLS
News from Colin. The Bowls Green “Opening of the New Season” will be on Sunday afternoon 13th April. Then thereafter, every Monday Evening for Newcomers to come along and “try it out”. Free Coaching and Equipment available. All ages, Males AND Females Welcome!
Please refer to the Board in the Lounge Bar or the T.V. screens for other things of interest.
ENTERTAIMENT
Just a thought…..is anyone interested in a R n’R night and I don’t mean Rest and Recuperation, but maybe that would be appropriate afterwards. Please, put your thoughts or requests in the Members suggestions box in the Lounge Bar. Address them to me (Sandie) and please sign them.

That’s it for now. Enjoy this lovely weather and Happy Easter to you All.
