Merthyr Conservative Club

08/11/2020

We at Merthyr Conservative club are very much saddened to announce the passing of Mrs Claire Price 😢. Claire was the beloved wife of Mr Frank Price. She passed away on October 30th following a short illness. Frank has asked me to express how incredibly supportive everyone has been. From cards, text messages & phone calls he has received.
Claire was an inspirational teacher & a wonderful friend who was genuine, kind & compassionate & loving. The staff at Prince Charles Hospital were truly amazing & Frank will never forget those who cared for her. God Bless. The funeral arrangements are as follows.
Monday 9th November, 1pm at St Mary's Church followed onto Cefn cemetery at 2pm.
I would personally like to say on behalf of all staff & members of the club that Claire will be missed sincerely. She was an absolute star of a person who would do anything to help anybody. Sleep tight ❤️

I was asked to share this from the ladies committee.

As we have been unable to meet for our monthly cheese & wine evenings since February. The ladies committee have decided to donate to charities from our funds, as we usually do throughout the year. Charities need particular help in this difficult times. We have made donations to 4 of our favourite charities.

Cancer Aid Merthyr Tydfil - £150
Ty Hafan - £150
Alzheimers Society - £130
Marie Curie - £130

We hope & trust that all our ladies are keeping well. We send you all our very best wishes. We also thank you for your continued support over the many years we have been running.

As all of our members know, I handed in my notice in 9 weeks ago. I have only 1 week left to say my final goodbyes to you all. However we are going into a lockdown tonight at 6pm so won't get the chance to see you. Iv had ups & downs during my 10years at the club but meeting the members & getting to know them along with their families personally, has definitely been my favourite part. I will miss each & everyone of you for diff reasons but where ever we are in life, my door will always be open. I will raise a glass to those who have passed 🥰. Thankyou to the staff iv had the pleasure of employing & working with over the years. We are all still friends & that means a lot to me. I hope you are as welcoming to the new steward as you were to me. He will be starting when we re-open on Nov 9th. This is not a goodbye, this is simply a "hope to see you all again soon". Thankyou for all my leaving cards & gifts. I am overwhelmed by your kindness & generosity.
We are open today btween 12pm-6pm. All Covid19 rules STILL APPLY. Last orders will be called at 5.30pm & everyone is to be out of club by 6pm.
Take care of each other. All the best for the future. See you all soon

LOCAL CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS – MERTHYR TYDFIL
As I’m sure you are all aware, Welsh Government have announced that new restrictions covering the Merthyr Tydfil Borough will come into force as of 6pm on Tuesday 22nd September 2020. Some of these restrictions have particular significance for licensed premises.
All premises licensed for the sale of alcohol on the premises must close by 11pm. This does not mean that the last drink can be served at 11pm. All customers must have left and the premises must be shut by 11pm.
People cannot meet with members of another household indoors. Therefore customers can only sit in licensed premises with members of their own household. The Licensing Department would recommend that businesses ask for ID of each member of a group to ensure that the addresses match and that this requirement is being adhered to on your premises.
People can no longer form an extended household. This will effect outdoor seating as the 2m social distancing requirement will now need to be maintained between members of each individual household. So for example, if you had a group of 4 people each from a different address, there must be 2 metres between each person whilst sat at the table.
People cannot enter or leave the Borough without a reasonable excuse. Going for a drink or a meal does not constitute a reasonable excuse. Therefore you should only be permitting customers into your premises if they reside within the Merthyr Borough. You are fully entitled to request proof of ID upon entry and refuse customers if they do not meet this requirement.
Both the Licensing Department and South Wales Police will be carrying out spot checks on licensed premises to ensure that the new restrictions are being complied with, in addition to the existing COVID related requirements and Licensing conditions. Failure to comply may result in an improvement and/or closure notice being issued, as well as a review of the premises licence.

I would like to inform all our members that I (The stewardess) has handed in my notice at the club. Due to several reasons I have decided that's in my children & I best interests to pass the reigns to somebody else.
As most of you will knw, I have had the pleasure of serving & becoming friends with the majority of the members over the 10years. I also have a 1000 memories or more of loved ones that have passed. We have laughed & cried together & I will forever be in debt to the ones who were there for me when things got tough. I will be grateful to each & everyone of you that have welcomed & shared your lives with me. Friendships are formed on these very reasons.
I want to thank the PREVIOUS committee for hiring me & giving me the chance to grow & learn from the best.
You've still got me for a few weeks yet but I want to tell you all that you will be very welcome to visit & keep in contact with us as a family. You don't get rid of my children that easy 😂. I am & will remain here for each & everyone of you wherever we are in life.
It's been an absolute blast. Thankyou for putting up with my wit & sarcasm on a daily basis 😂. I will miss most of you wholeheartedly 😘
