What a year!
Wow what a Christmas! Quiz night finale, Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Years eve (and probably a whole lot more), all became good reasons for having a drink / social at The Centre.
To top that, Last Saturday was ‘Dance for Lily’, a black tie event to raise money for a very poorly little girl in the village. For those of you that came along, you all looked amazing, and I’m sure you all had a great night, I know I did! A huge Thank you to Sarah Hart from the Mum’s and Tot’s Group who organised the evening and congratulations on raising over £500 for little lily.
During 2009 we hope to hold not only the old favourites but also some new events, which we hope you will take advantage of. Please remember that the Centre is here for you, so if you have an event you want to run let me know.

Thanks goes out to everyone who used us in 2008, hope you will continue to support us throughout 2009.
Adults ONLY
Many people have commented over the past year or so, that we never offer a time when TCAM is for
adults only (over 18s). If we are to be inclusive, TCAM management believes we should cater for those
individuals who wish to have a social evening without minors in the bar area. Therefore, from Sunday 3rd
August we will be testing the water by having no under 18s in TCAM on Sundays from 6pm until close.
We hope you will support us in this decision.
Feedback
The TCAM management team is always looking for more effective ways of delivering a better facility for
the village to use. We are often given suggestions or passed information 3rd, 4th or 5th hand. This is not
very effective and so we are putting in place a formal 'feedback' process over the next few weeks. We
will have pictures and contact details of all the management team displayed at TCAM, so you know who
to contact. We will have a website form for you to complete and email to us or a simple printed form at
TCAM for you to complete and return to us. We will log ALL your comments and act on them
appropriately. Please help us by giving us your feedback.
My job
Since TCAM opened there have been a number of issues arising from the difficulty in separating my work
for TCAM from my private socialising at TCAM. The difficulty I face is that I am both TCAM Manager and
a 'villager'. I want to enjoy the same benefits from using TCAM as do many of you. However, as the
licence holder, I have legal obligations and cannot always distance myself from TCAM issues just because
I'm not on duty. In addition, TCAM staff may seek guidance from me despite the fact that I am not on
duty. As I am sure you will appreciate, I may not wish to have my personal socialising at TCAM disturbed
by villagers who wish to discuss issues, and I am therefore likely to refer villagers to staff on duty. To
assist in this, we will ensure that there is a 'Duty Manager' at major events, although this will be the barperson
on most evenings.
This dilemma is always going to be difficult to manage to the satisfaction of all villagers, TCAM staff and
for me as a private individual. I hope that the village will make allowances and remember that TCAM is
being run for the benefit of the village as a whole.
