7. What’s the best and worst aspects of
your job?
The best is being part of a hard working
team. The worst would be the very rare
occasion when disciplinary action has to
be taken.
8. What is your biggest gripe about the
club industry?
Irresponsible managers giving the trade a
bad name.
9. Are club managers paid a decent
wage or not?
I am not a club manager but, part of a
team who give their time free. Our club
steward and her staff are paid well and in
excess of the minimum set by CORCA.
10. How has your club been affected by
the supermarkets selling cut-price alcohol
and the general stay-at-home culture in
the UK at present?
Life would be easier without their unfair
buying powers and perceived intention to
close competition. We concentrate on the
social side and provide a safe and friendly
environment where people on their own
feel welcome.
11. Describe your fancy dress of choice.
As a 60’s hippy, is there a choice?
12. How do you keep your members
interested in the club?
We have four rooms in use 365 days a
year. A lounge, a snooker room, a function
room with skittles, pool, big screen and 50
inch TV and entertainment every Saturday.
The Main Hall provides various forms of
entertainment every night of the week
ranging from dancing, line dancing, bingo
and whist. There are also self-organised
groups that use the rooms during the day.
If this did not keep members interested, we
have a problem.
13. How important is food to your business
and why?
At present, we do not have the facility to
provide food, although our steward sells
rolls.
14. You're on Death Row. Describe your
last meal.
Smoked trout, providing it is one that I had
caught.
15. Apart from being on Death Row, what
is your greatest fear?
As a Bristol City supporter, my greatest fear
would be watching Rovers.
16. Which living person do you most
admire and why?
Nelson Mandela: strong in principle and
full of forgiveness. A true statesman.
17. Sum yourself up in a sentence.
Content with my lot because the grass is
always greener on my side.
18. Is the glass half full or half empty?
Always full.
19. What would your superpower be?
I would leave that for those who feel they
need one.
20. How would you like to be
remembered?
‘Happy with life, he tried to help others and
always looked for the good and not the evil
side.’ !
