ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Annual Subscriptions are coming in steadily and for the very first time we have card payment facilities available (minimum spend £10)for member's convenience. Don't forget to pay yours before 1st Jan for a £5 discount. When paying their membership, we're handing every member a little card with details of how they can support our Lincoln Community Lottery page and sign up for a weekly chance to win up to £25,000. As I keep saying to people in earshot, if we can achieve 600 tickets in the draw each week on an ongoing basis there will be no need to raise our annual subscription fees for quite a number of years. We currently have 105 players and 191 tickets in the draw. 300 players would nearly achieve it so do take a look at the link in the left hand menu. Alternatively, if you're nervous about signing up over the internet, there's a telephone Help desk facility where supporters can join over the telephone. Just call 01522 253888 and be sure to name LIBC as your chosen cause. You can join for just £1 a week and every single ticket is important to us.
ACTIVITIES TO NOTE
Wed 18th December 2019 - 4.30pm GRAND CHRISTMAS DRAW
Fri 31st January 2020 - BURNS NIGHT - A celebration of the influencial Scottish poet Rabbie Burns which includes a 5 course meal in the Restaurant and plenty of poetry, fun and laughter between courses! Look out for details in the club. We need at least 40 people signed up by 10th January 2020. Tickets are £25 each.
Wed & Sun Coaching - Our hard working Coaching team will take a well earned Christmas break with the final sessions for this year scheduled this Sunday 15th December 2019. Coaching will return on 18th January 2020.
LIBC OPEN DAY will welcome newcomers on 11th JANUARY 2020 from 9.30am-4.30pm - Look out for advertising in the local press and feel free to bring friends and family. We'll be setting up to have a bit of fun for those new to bowls and see if we can entice them to join us.
On behalf of all the Directors, Management Committee and Staff at LIBC I would like to thank all of our members for their support this year and wish you all a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

Given our facilities, I’m sure our Members will agree that
these prices represent outstanding value for money compared to other
Clubs in the UK.
If Members do wish to assist the Club further it would be most
appreciated if they would sign up for a weekly ticket(s) in the City of
Lincoln Community Lottery stating the club as their
supported cause.
Leaflets on the bar or on the Target Board at the Car Park end of Rink
3.
Sign up can be done on line or via the telephone on Lincoln 253888.
There are currently 100 people supporting us, if we could double that
number it would enable us to continue improving the club without the
need to raise prices.
THANK
YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ONCE AGAIN

Coach's Corner:
Christmas Time
- by Howard Jarrold

Blimey, it's that time again. A time that divides opinion quite sharply into when should Christmas ( the commercial ) begin, or perhaps you are one of those that think we should get back to the real meaning of Christmas. Whichever camp you belong to, you must admit it is a crazy time of excess and disruption. Thank goodness for the relative calm of L I B C .
More important than all that is a question that a lot of people want the answer to viz -Why does time go by so quickly? So, in this silly season I thought you might like to know my thoughts on Time.
