Amendments to Club Rules

Addition to Rules (21.3)
The Committee may at it’s sole discretion permit non members to use the Lounge Bar and Dining Room facilities of the Club on such days and during such hours as it may from time to time determine and persons admitted under this Rule may be supplied with alcohol.

Carried by a majority vote

Barnwood United FC who play on the Club's pitch have had the inspection for the northern senior league and were accepted, which is great news for the team and the Club.
 
They also won Division 1 of the Stroud and District League which in conjunction with the approval of the facilities means that we have been promoted back to the Northern Senior League. The Stroud League to give some context to the clubs achievement has over 2500 registered players and over a 100 teams so to win the league championship is a remarkable feat.

Well done!

Mr Chris Robinson has been voted in by a majority vote to the position of Vice Chairperson.  The Committee would like to thank Mr Ian Locke for temporarily standing in.

Due to the resignation of Les & Carolyn Jones, as from 27^th May Les will no longer be the Club Steward and Carolyn will no longer be the Club Caterer.
