Newsletter
– August 2021
Dear Residents and Neighbours
The Club has been open since May and
as restrictions have been gradually lifted life has begun to look a little more
like normal. Although we follow Government guidelines, we appreciate that many
Residents are concerned about the spread of Covid and therefore the Club have strict procedures
and cleaning regimes in place with hand sanitisers in reception and at strategic
points around the premises.
Face Masks are optional however many
visitors prefer to continue wearing them and we would request that everyone respects
the social distancing practices of individual members as far as practical.
Hopefully as the vaccination programme
and reduction in the serious consequences of the virus continues to be brought
under control, we can all relax a little more and confidence will return.
What better way to start to reconnect
with your friends and neighbours in a safe secure environment close to home
with no need to travel any distance.
Management News
After many years of service to the
residents Paul Howarth and Geoff Higginbotham have stepped down from MANCO however,
they continue to support us, and we thank them for all their efforts and
service.
Joining Tommy Boyne and Chris Morley
on the Trustees Committee will be Trevor Megson, Rob Dawson and Peter Brickenden
who have been co-opted to the board subject to approval at the next AGM.
The AGM is scheduled to take place on
Wednesday 27th October at 7pm in the main lounge. Formal notice will
be sent together with the agenda no later than 21 days prior to the meeting as
prescribed by the articles of the association.
Keeping in Touch
Maintaining regular contact with our
Residents is important and our aim is to once again publish a monthly
newsletter with news of upcoming events and important information on Estate
matters.
Whilst a paper Newsletter is important
to our Neighbours who do not have access to the Internet and will still require
a paper copy most Residents do have email.
To save paper and reduce costs we
would encourage those Residents who have not yet signed up to email communications
from MANCO and the Club to do so. Please
find attached the data protection consent form.
About 50% of our community have already
signed up and to add your address to the email distribution system we will
require the data protection consent form to be signed and returned to the Club
reception. This is a legal requirement and will allow us to provide more up to
date information on a regular basis.
If you are unable to come to reception,
then please call the Club and we will arrange collection.
Help save the planet and sign up to our
email distribution system.
In addition we will start to build our
Web Site www.ladybridgepark.com
where more information will be added over the next few weeks including opening
times, price lists, events, social activities organised by the club or outside
associations that may be of interest to Residents.
We also have a Facebook page:

Friday Tea’s
What better way to start the weekend
than enjoying a traditional Pub favourite with your family and friends?
Jakki and the team serve a variety competitively
priced dishes freshly cooked between 6pm and 8.30pm. (See attached sample Menu).
Prices range from £7.50 to £8.00 for
an adult meal and £4.00 for the children’s menu. Desert or Ice Cream to follow.
Together with the club’s bar tariffs and no taxi’s home this is a very affordable
evening out.

Club’s sessions and Associations have
been gradually returning and we have received a number of enquiries for new
activities which we plan to feature in future newsletters.
Badminton, Squash, Table tennis have
all started and carpet bowls will start again shortly.
Slimming World has been back for some
time and new recruits are most welcome.
Old favourites such as Rodney’s meat
raffle takes place each Monday night and bingo will start on Monday 18th October
at 9pm in the Residents lounge. We hope to restart Quiz night in October. More information to follow next month.
Room and Event Hire
Both the main hall and small function room are
available for hire for a range of social events birthdays other special family occasions.
In both cases a separate private bar can be arranged as well as catering by Jakki’s
team. We recently hosted a wedding reception and have another
one booked.
As we head towards greater freedom and
the festive season (yes, I know it’s still summer) we will announce further
events and hopefully we will be able to welcome Residents new and old.
