THE WINCHESTER CLUB
AUGUST 2026 NEWSLETTER
This month I am going to start with Bowls, just for a change!
On Sunday the Club was privileged to host the first DENNIS
CANNON bowls trophy. A lovely day, very well supported. The
Trophy was presented by Lisa, Dens daughter to our own
Victoria Sara and Luke Young. Well done to you both and all
that participated in the Day. I have no doubt that Den was
looking down enjoying every second!!
News from the Committee
Election of President
In the past the position of President has been nominated by
the Committee and endorsed by the Members and elected at
the AGM. It is not expected to elect a new President until the
2027 AGM. Members are allowed to propose and second their
own nomination. This may then require a ballot at the AGM to
elect the member with the most votes to be President.
Nomination forms will be made available in January.
Meat Draw.
The meat draw has restarted. The meat will be labelled as to
what meat it is and a use by date.
Comments/Suggestions
Recently the Committee has received some critical comments
as to how the Club is being run and also raising concerns on
the prices being charged for The Chef’s Kitchen. Unfortunately
the member(s) could not be identified.
Members are reminded that all comments/suggestions must be
signed and the Members Club Card included. Otherwise the
comments/suggestions will be ignored by the Committee.
Market Bar
New furniture for the Market Bar has been ordered, and we
expect it to be delivered by mid-October.
Please, please remember to sign in and pay for your guest. It is
not the Bar Staff’s job to check who is with you its yours.
Please remember to check the board/tv for forthcoming events
Big thank you once again to our wonderful bar staff and Gary
of course. Also big thanks to Rosemary and Pete for the
decorating!
