Dear Members,
As is customary at this time of year I am writing to ask you to show your usual generous appreciation towards our staff. Feedback from members and reciprocal guests about how welcoming and helpful the staff are continues to be extremely positive. We have seen some staff changes over the year and we remain indebted to all our employees who have continued to look after us so well, enabling us to enjoy our membership with high standards of service and food that we may occasionally take for granted. In line with our Club constitution, their remuneration does not benefit from conventional service charges or tips and so through the Grats Fund we are able to recognise their contribution in a practical and tangible way. It is paid out before Christmas and in the New Year to all members of staff other than the senior managers Last year’s Staff Fund was generous and I’m sure you will wish to reward our staff similarly this year. Donations can be made by credit card or charged to your account. Per our custom we have placed white boxes with donation slips on the bar counters and you can fill in and drop the slips into the boxes. I would suggest that a donation of up to 10% of annual expenditure in the Club is a reasonable benchmark. This is a good opportunity to remind you that our Facebook page ( @RNYCDurban ) has details of events occurring in the run up to Christmas and into 2019. A reminder that the annual Kiddies Christmas Party is on Monday, 17th December and we are hosting a Cocktail Party in Trafalgar Room on Friday, 21st December. Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook pages for opening hours during the holiday season. Thank you for your continued support and generosity to our staff whom I thank for their continued commitment and service during the past twelve months. May I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and I hope to see many of you at Club events in 2019. With best wishes, Jeremy Kriek Vice Commodore
