Hi to all Social Club Members
This will be the last post our Committee posts before we close the page down.
We have been closed down by the Management Committee of the Community Centre as they have decided that our committee was no longer financially viable and they could no longer work with us.
We were not making enough profit for the Community Centre but we always tried to give our members good value for money an felt as long as our bills were paid that would be acceptable but unfortunately the 15% rent increase taking us up to £2850 per month was just not viable.
We put letters out to you ( our members) and was absolutely overwhelmed with the response we received from you all with offers of support, help and even financial offers. Unfortunately this was to no avail and we were not allowed to open. We did use a solicitor to help us with our plight but after a huge bill that did not come out of Social Club funds we felt we could no longer fight them and our Solicitor pointed out you cannot work with people who have no wish to work alongside you.
All outstanding Rent has now been settled by the handing over of all stock ,cash registers and electrical items not to mention that the money we raised to decorate the lounge , carpet and replace dance floor all with the support of all our members.
We are devastated that it has come to this and feel extremely sorry that with a heavy heart we had been forced to close. Please note we will as already discussed with so many of you keep in touch and let you know of any events we will be running in the future at different venues.
Please contact any Social Club Commiittee member to arrange for money back for the Voicetones if you have not yet done so. If you have any personnal items left at the Jubilee Lounge you will have to contact the Centre as we had very limited time to clear out once the notice was given.❤️
Take Care & Thank you all once again for your support.
Warmley Social Club Committee
