The Exec Board have had to take the difficult decision to raise the prices of bar products. A review of all bar goods is currently being carried out. The aim is to set prices at a level which ensures the service we provide, whilst maintaining resilience for our finances.

Such news is inevitably unwelcome, but necessary. Prices have remained as they were when they were last reviewed in May 2024. Since then, cost of living increases affecting wholesale prices have been absorbed by the club. This can only go on for so long before our financial stability is adversely affected. The recent budget has also triggered new costs, including additional tax duty on drinks and increased minimum wage rates for bar staff.

The review is expected to result in a range of percentage increases, with some drinks rising proportionately less than others. We can assure members and guests that this measure is not to increase profits, but solely to keep up our standards of service.

We thank you for your understanding.

Vale Exec Board.
