LGCC MEMBERSHIP 2023/24: New Cards & Bar Pricing System - Read All About It...

14 Nov 2023

FIRSTLY, a belated ‘thank you’ for renewing your LGCC membership for the year May 2023 to April 2024.

The club's Management Committee has recently been reviewing how we ensure our members (and their nominated partner / family) are being rightfully rewarded for their loyalty and patronage.

In light of a series of busy and successful social events - whether that's directly related to cricket or something entirely different from the social events calendar - the Management Committee considers that now is the right time to introduce a three-tier pricing structure onto our bar tills.

The primary objective of this is to lock in preferential bar rates for our members, and also recognise the work of our volunteer bar staff pool by continuing to offer them additional discount on their own purchases.

The third tier of pricing will be the default till position which will apply to 'everyone else' i.e. non-members enjoying the club for a variety of reasons (whether a first visit to LGCC or friends of existing members, perhaps).

Given the welcome increase of bar patronage across a number of events in the past year or so, this move seeks to recognise and reward those who continue to pay their annual subscriptions in support of LGCC and its ever-broadening community involvement, with one eye firmly fixed on maintaining the club's wellbeing.

Bar Chairman Graham Evans has worked tirelessly with our current suppliers to ensure their regular wholesale increase in prices are not simply passed on, but the challenge of rising costs is affecting LGCC just as much as domestic households, so please understand our actions are being taken primarily with our membership base in mind.


Next Steps
Before this weekend (Nov 10-12), all of LGCC's membership names will have been loaded onto the bar till systems. Please expect to be asked by our volunteer bar staff to either quote your LGCC membership number (from your LGCC 2023/24 membership card) in order to access members' bar prices. As a last resort, searching on the till by name will also be possible, where no membership card details are available. Patience will be welcomed while we all find our feet with this, thank you.
 
Not got your card yet?
Membership cards and an accompanying letter are enveloped and boxed for collection at The Green, along with a new 2023/24 Handbook. They're sat on the ledge just under the bell near to the bar inside the clubhouse, and are available for collection whenever we're open.

Name not on till?
In the unlikely event that a member shows their card at the bar yet their name doesn't appear on our till system, bar staff members will be reporting details back to Membership Secretary Keeley Downes and Bar Chairman Graham Evans. The matter should be resolved very swiftly, and your drinks will be served inclusive of the correct membership discount.

Want to check your Membership Number or need further information?
If you need Membership number reminder, please email keeleydownes@hotmail.com. These numbers are assigned by our club website system and will remain the same year-on-year.

We'd welcome feedback or requests for further information, should you wish. Messages from those unable to reach the clubhouse right now are also welcomed, so membership card delivery can be arranged. Please simply hit 'reply' to this email and we'll share your message accordingly.

Thanks in advance for your understanding and co-operation,

Graham Evans, Bar Chairman, and Keeley Downes, Membership Secretary,
for and on behalf of LGCC's Management Committee
