6 - BAR
- Brewery price increase came in from February and new wage rates will come in from 1st April. Prices will increase in April. We need to find another £7,500 per year to stand still (£2k to cover beer increases and the rest to cover wage increases). Proposal to increase prices from 7th April with a list of suggested prices. This would bring in about £5k so the rest will have to come from wine and prosecco (JK to discuss with Sam Ellison).
7 - CRICKET
Nets are working well and will continue until the middle of April.
Marlon has fitted in well both socially and cricketwise.
