2026 Membership Update

Hi Everyone

We hope that you and your families are all enjoying your Christmas break!
Some news for you regarding the subscriptions for 2026.

Footfall and income was again down slightly during 2025, and these schemes have been proposed by the Directors, and agreed at the AGM to help secure, and build on our recent successes.

**Please note** that your 2026 membership subscriptions will be due on January 1st. As passed at the AGM, please see details of the new membership subscription prices in the attached image and on notice boards in the Club.
Membership fees have remained as per last year. Due to the successful implementation of this scheme over the last couple of years, there will once again be a £10 discount to members and shareholder members paying in January, and a £5 discount to those paying in February. The £10 joining fee for new members has once again been waived.
This has all been approved at the November AGM again, to give a little back to existing members and hopefully attract new members too. Also approved by the AGM again, to help attract new members, any new full members recruited before the 31st March 2026 will receive their membership for half price, along with the member proposing them.
Remember our members are our chief sales people and recruiters. If you might know anyone interested in joining please let them, and also all your clubmates know about the discounted membership fees and discount for for early payment.
Please remember that subscription payment by instalments may be available by request, as per Bye Law 2 (A copy of the Bye Laws is available in the club and on the website).
Thanks very much to you all for your continued support, and your appreciation of the MBC teams efforts, it’s greatly appreciated! And thankyou to those who have already secured their discounted subscriptions for 2026.
On behalf of the MBC Team please accept our best wishes, to you and your families for a healthy and successful 2026. All the Best!

Dave Turner

Everyone at MBC is saddened to hear the news that David Turner, one of our longest serving members sadly passed away last week. Although ill health had been an issue for a while, Dave faced all this with dignity and much bravery, and until very recently was still having a game of snooker on his beloved green baize at MBC.

Dave has been an MBC member since 1978, and joined as a very competent snooker player, and was competitive for many years in the local leagues, proudly representing the Club. As time went by he was also bitten by the bowling bug and became a capable player and was a much valued and loved member of various teams and leagues, again proudly representing MBC.

Dave was also a talented artist, and we are honoured that he chose to kindly donate some pieces for our collection, the last being a piece of the view across the green painted during the covid lockdown. They will all be proudly displayed for many years to come as a lovely reminder of a true Gentleman, much loved friend, and Clubmate.

All our love and kindest thoughts are with Lynne, all Dave’s family, and many friends at this sad time. We will update details of funeral arrangements as we know them.

Rest easy now David. A Gentlemen passed this way, and we are all richer for his friendship and comradeship, over these many years.
