27 January 2005 TO ALL CLUB SECRETARIES Dear Colleague, THE PROPOSED INCREASES IN BAR LICENSE FEES FOR LOCAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT CLUBS I am sending you all copies of three letters I have had sent to me by Sarah Pickford (Horsforth CC), who now works for Strategic Leisure, based in Manchester. I am sure that all Clubs who have a Bar and who rely on its income as one of their main sources of revenue, have noticed with growing alarm the enormous increases proposed by the Government when any Club needs to renew its Bar License. The YCB is aware of these proposals but Clubs may like to register their own protests with their MPs. If you write direct to the Department for Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS), they need not reply. However, if you write direct to your MP, he must take action and report back. I leave the ball in your court as I feel sure that you will all get a nasty surprise when you go to renew your License, if you have not already done so. Yours sincerely, |
