UNSUPERVISED CHILDREN IN THE CLUB

Dear Member

As you are aware the Vision of the Club is to be ‘The Best Multi Sports Club’ for the Solihull Community.

Included in this statement is a wish to provide ‘everyone’ with a welcoming, safe and friendly environment.

‘Everyone’ includes families with young children.  The Club is not however equipped or insured to provide your children with facilities that might be associated with a crèche.

The result has been unsupervised young children entertaining themselves in areas where they may not be welcome or could be deemed to be a risk.

I make an appeal to those members with young children to provide an effective degree of supervision to ensure that members are not inconvenienced or frustrated by what appears to be a chaotic situation.

Children should be enjoying themselves and having fun, but like everything in life there has to be a degree of regulation.

I hope you can support the club on this matter while continuing to be part of a vibrant and successful environment.

Kindest regards

Dr Syd Madeley
