Of further note, is the installation of new cellar cooling - Summer - here we come!
+ 2nd Mar: The Club extends its Best Wishes and a Long & Happy Retirement to John McCallum, who passed on the batton after many years service; all the best to John & Liz - who sent their thanks and appreciation to all who attended his farewell on Wednesday evening, and to the Committee and Members for the presentation and generous gift.
+ 1st Mar: Membership for 2010 is now Closed Per Rule 5, and has been clearly advertised across the Club and Website.
+ From 14th March: A COMPULSORY request will be made to all Club Users to validate their 2011 Club Membership by showing their Club Case to the New Club Manager and His Team: the President therefore recommends members get into the habit of carrying their Clubcase with them at all times; and especially since the membership card format has been changed to meet demand!
+ Suppliers: The President, Stock Sec and Club Sec are pro-actively negotiating new terms with suppliers to ensure Club Members get the best choice of quality beers, and more importantly, fair and sustainable prices which the Committee can hold down for the longterm future of the Club; in short, any help to in-part offset all that the Chancellor of The Exchequer will undoubtedly bestow upon the working man, woman and child in this small island! Will He be Brave Enough to Support Clubs!!??
Members MUST Renew Their M'Ship Before It's Too Late - Only 8 ONE Day left! click here.
Renew and thus avoid the Huge Embarasment of Being Refused Service Under Rule 3 - By Steve!!
+ Club Manager: Warm Congratulations are expressed to the succesful candidate, who will be taking up this demanding new role shortly; to assist all staff and Club Members, every person entering the Club from 1st March should carry and show their 2011 Clubcase on demand at the door / bars to ensure admittance and service. Please avoid the embarassment of potential refusal; knowing every face of 1200+ Members by our bar team is unreasonable an ask - so show your Case!! Thanks.
+ Members MUST RENEW NOW: The response to renewals has been fantastic! However, and as publicised in the Club, 2010 Members CANNOT use Groby Club Unless & UNTIL 2011 Membership has been paid in full! The Committee is unable to guarantee any renewals, on or after 1st March, thus leaving only eight days or less for the remaining '200' to renew! Make life easy for yourself - RENEW!
+ Impersonation: Any person found on the premises and abusing the Club by falsely claiming to be,  or actively using another's credentials, can expect to be barred; summarily found unfit to apply, and the member's abused card forfeit, subject to full rigour of Rule 24 - 'Misconduct & Potential Expulsion'.
+ Club Gets 'Top Marks' from recent Env Health Food Inspection!
The President, Officers and Committee express their highest praise and gratitude to all the staff who 's hard work, ongoing effort and assistance - given to the Stock Secretary - in striving to the achievement of this High Standard - Well Done ALL!
+ MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS: Response to the Clubcase Renewal has been spectacular, with many expressing strong opinion on what a realistic cost Membership of the Club should actually be. Club cases were renewable Friday & Sat 8-9pm, Sunday Lunch 12 noon to 1pm. Please do remember, a fine of £2 will be incurred from 1st Feb; and such Members CANNOT use The Club UNTIL Membership has been paid in full.

A new Style of Membership Card has been released, and those with the old style issued early in December are asked to exchange their plastic encapsulation for a multi-year card.
+ The Special Meeting held on Sun 19th December was exceptionally well attended: it was determined that Annual Club Membership be revised to £8.00; regretably the 'Case For Change For the Club' was not effected owing to best advice being discharged and dismissed at its outset. Members were reminded by the Club Secretary, that they too share an obligation in the policing and well-running of, and throughout the premises - matters have again been referred to the Committee.
