The Christmas Gift for 2008

13 11 2008

Xmas Present

Try something different as a Christmas present this year. Membership vouchers for the Dumfries Sports Club are available from the club at £5 each and are redeemable against membership costs.

For example what would be better than a year long present of a junior membership from a relative? New junior members (under 18s) can get a year’s membership this Christmas for £30. That’s under 60p a week.

They can be obtained from behind the bar at the club or by writing to the Membership Secretary at Dumfries Sports Club, Nunholm Road, Dumfries, DG1 1JW with a stamp addressed envelope and a cheque payable to Dumfries Sports Club.

Welcome to the new Dumfries Sports Club website

18 02 2008

Welcome to the Sports Club’s new website.

The Club Management Committee hope that this will provide useful and interesting information on the club as a whole and on the goings-on within each of the club’s busy sections, cricket, hockey, running, squash and tennis.

One of the aims is to communicate more readily with the club membership and between the sections and to develop the identity of  the Dumfries Sports Club within the club and to visitors and new members.

Conserve your energy

16 02 2008

As many will have seen there has been a lot of maintenance work taking place at the Clubhouse this week.

The bumps and thumps in the ceiling have been the result of more insulation being installed. Work is also being undertaken to fit new radiators and a new boiler has been installed. This has meant some short-term disruption to the heating but is aimed at cutting back on the high, and still increasing, energy costs which have had to be reflected in increased subscription costs.

Hopefully members will have one eye on their subs and help to minimise energy wastage by ensuring doors and windows are closed where appropriate and by turning off equipment and lights when not required.

Squash Court Repairs

16 01 2008

Courts 3 and 4 are to have repair work done. They will be unavailable on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of February. Please check the notices at the club. 

All plaster will be tidied up with the door surrounds repaired. Both are to be repainted and lined and floors will have full length board repairs. Both will be sanded and relined. After this they should be much improved.

Court 2 needs major work carried out. The squash committee have asked the Club management committee to consider this as a matter of urgency.
