The future of FLBC
Dear Members & Friends,
Fairford & Lechlade Business Club has not been functioning as it should. Meetings over the past year have been very poorly attended often with just three or four present. There has also been a decline in membership from 66 in 2022 to 36 at the present time.
We are running at a loss and whist we have funds in reserve the current status is unsustainable.
Also the Steering Group have not found anyone to help with the organisation of the club. The four members of the Steering Group have all served for a number of years. It is with regret therefore that the activities of the club are being suspended with the exception of Lechlade Flag Festival. During this period the collection of subscriptions will also be suspended.
We would like to allow a period of time to give any members the opportunity to take over the running of the club, with a fresh direction. If no one comes forward, then a resolution to dissolve will be placed before an Extraordinary General Meeting. If you feel that you are able and willing to take on the responsibility, then please contact us on admin@flbc.org.uk or contact Nick Bent or Ian Lindsay.
Yours sincerely
Nick Bent - 07747 763034
Ian Lindsay - 07889 070623

Why join the
Fairford & Lechlade Business Club?
If your business is doing okay, why fix something that ain’t broke? The simple answer to this is that Fairford & Lechlade Business Club enables local business people to network to increase business opportunities, socialise and chat informally to share problems and find solutions, air grievances to enable joint action, receive information to help tackle the increasing burden of regulation, exchange views, information and contacts.
To continually grow, your business always needs new customers but, at times, it also needs new ideas, new systems and new ways of doing things. Fairford & Lechlade Business Club provides the environment for networking with other go-ahead businesses – large and small – to put your business in touch with other local, motivated and committed people.
Membership of the Club is corporate, so you and all your team can participate and benefit. We encourage you to join to take advantage of all our membership benefits. We look forward to welcoming you to our next meeting.
