Sup up lads!!

Next time you are down at the Club and having a beer, just think about the profit on your pint. From the start of January 2008, the Club has taken over the management of the bar, pavilion and changing rooms, so the profit on the pint is benefiting the Club directly for the first time.

The change is part of the transition to full ownership of the facilities, which will soon see the licencee change from the Sports Association to Football Club. However, whilst the change should enhance the financial stability of the Club, it isn't without one problem which it is up to us all to sort - staffing the bar. Anyone behind the bar is going to be giving their time and efforts for free, so we must all try to do our bit to make life easier for them. Obviously, if you can spare an hour or so to pull pints, please tell us. But you can help in many ways. If glasses are piling up on your table, bring them to the bar. Have pride in the bar, try to keep it tidy and be generally aware that if anything needs doing, it is up to US to do it. Don't just leave it for someone else to do.

Then sup up, enjoy your pint and think of the profit!!
