Rowley Hill Club – AGM Update (March 25, 2025)
Thank you to everyone who attended our Annual General Meeting on March 25th. For those who couldn’t make it, here’s a summary of the key discussions:
Key Highlights from the AGM
🔹 Major Changes to Our Brewery Partnership
One of the biggest announcements from the AGM was our decision to switch from Molson Coors to Heineken as our primary brewery. This move brings significant cost savings to the club while offering a fantastic range of drinks, ensuring we continue to serve quality products at competitive prices.
A complete refit of the bar and cellar will be included as part of this transition. This upgrade will modernise our setup, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall experience for members. We’re excited to share more details and timelines for this project soon.
As part of this transition, members will notice a change in the draught products available at the bar. However, thanks to our negotiations and the savings we’ll make proceeding with this change, we are pleased to announce that we will be freezing draught prices for members for the next 12 months, subject to our deal with Heineken going ahead.
The new draught line-up will include:
- Lagers: Coors, Fosters, Cruzcampo
- Bitters & Ales: John Smiths, Theakston’s Mild
- Ciders: Inch’s, Old Mout
- Stout: Guinness
- Alcohol-Free: Heineken 0.0
🔹 Financial Overview & Savings
- Solar Panels – Our investment in solar panels is already delivering substantial energy cost reductions, contributing to the club’s long-term sustainability.
- Brewery Savings – The change to Heineken, combined with our improved supplier agreements, will provide considerable financial benefits, allowing us to reinvest in the club and its facilities.
🔹 Membership & Engagement
Membership numbers remain stable, and we’re looking at ways to further enhance the club’s offering. If you know someone who might be interested in joining, now is a great time to invite them along!
🔹 Club Improvements
Alongside the bar and cellar refit, we are continuously reviewing other improvement projects to enhance the club. Member input is always welcome, and we’ll keep you updated as plans progress.
🔹 Events & Activities
A packed schedule of events is planned for the coming months, including live entertainment, social gatherings, and sports screenings. Keep an eye on our notices and social media for updates!
Looking Ahead
With these exciting changes ahead, we are committed to ensuring Rowley Hill Club continues to thrive. If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out to Liam or the committee.
Thank you for your continued support.
