Dear All,
The temporary venue of St Oswald’s Church Hall seemed to work well and they are keen for us to stay with them on a permanent basis. The only additional requirement is that we arrange Public Liability Insurance for the club, which I can sort out.
Jeff and Julie have sold their home in Warrington and are going to be re-locating to France this year. They are just waiting on contracts and other paperwork before moving. Jeff has advised me to look for another venue sooner rather than later.
I am proposing that we move permanently to St Oswald’s Church Hall and that we do not return to Jeff’s. With the need for Public Liability Insurance and to cover low-attendance weeks I want to set the weekly subs at £2 per person per night. We can always review this after a few months to see how it is working.
I will miss Jeff & Julie, they have been great hosts over the years but while the Church Hall does charge us; well it is warmer and cleaner.
Is everyone in agreement over this?
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
I am going to wait a week before confirming our intention with both Jeff and the Church so if anyone has input please post it before Wednesday January 20th or speak to me next Monday as I’ll be around.
All the best, Dave

Happy to move to the new venue Dave, and I think that £2 a week is very reasonable, especially when we will be providing our own food and drinks instead of feasting on Jeff's special brew tea and Jeff Burgers direct from Ellery Briss.
I have a card for Jeff and Julie which we can all sign on Monday. I’ll leave it out.
There will also be an opportunity to contribute to a collection them as well, if you would like to. If you are not attending and would like to contribute then please do contact me.
Lastly there will be Tea and Coffee in the kitchen and Milk in the fridge – please help yourselves. We should be getting a cupboard very soon but the wheels of the Parish Council turn slowly.
See you all soon,
Dave
On Monday Jeff and Julie will be around at their club for us to pop down and say a proper thanks goodbye to them.
I suggest that those who want to, meet up at the Church Hall at 7pm and then we pop down to give them their card and their collection as a friendly mob.
Cheers, Dave
