MBC Shares

The support we get from our membership is always something we are rightfully proud of and helps motivate the MBC team to continue working hard for all our benefits.
Thank you all for that, and for the good response to the 2024 reduced membership subscription scheme that was run through January and February.
Some of our newer and existing full members might not be aware that another way to support the ongoing financial success of MBC and get a reduced membership subscription, and that is through purchasing a share in MBC.
Shareholder members currently receive a £20 discount on their annual fees so the payback on their investment is relatively short timewise.

Each share is priced at £125 and there are currently still 560 shares available for purchase from the capital share issue from back in 2011. We would also like to inform anyone potentially considering this that we can now offer a payment by instalments option, with agreed flexible payments leading to share issue on completion of payment.
If any full member is interested in becoming a shareholder or those wishing further purchase of shares, please speak to any of the Board Members who will be happy to discuss this further with you.

Thanks very much for your time, all the best!

Barbara Woodhead

Many of you will know by now the sad news about Barbara Woodhead who passed away just before Christmas. Apologies to those that don’t but as is always the case in these sad updates we are led entirely by family wishes, so word has been passed quietly as and when people could be informed.

However we would like to pass on a message from Frank and his family, that they would like to see as many people as possible at a celebration of Barbara’s life and share some of the wonderful memories that you’ll know doubt have.

This will be held on Saturday 20th January from 2pm at:
The Shepley Spitfire
Mickley Lane
Totley
S17 4HE

Our Barb was a true force of nature, who has been a mother figure, and great friend to many over the years at all the clubs she was associated with, and the various County sides she’s travelled with and supported. It would be great if you can share some love and memories with Frank and the family on the day.

God bless you Barb, from all at MBC XX

Joe Martin

Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with Joe’s family and friends.

Funeral details as follows:

2024 Membership Update

We are posting this information about 2024 membership a little earlier than usual, but there is some information from the recent AGM to make you all aware of.

Please note that your 2024 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.

**Please note** that there will 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 now been waived, and social membership has been discounted by £5 for 2024.

This has been approved at the AGM to help us give a little back to existing members and hopefully attract new members too. Remember you are all our sales people and chief recruiters, if you might know anyone interested in joining please let them, and also all your clubmates know about the discounted fees 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 appreciation of the MBC teams efforts, it’s greatly appreciated! And thankyou to all who have already secured their discount subscriptions for 2024.
