SOCIAL CLUB

The Social Club is based at Gypsy Corner but is wholly separate from the Playing Fields Company in terms of governance and operations.

It looks after social functions at the ground and the bar facilities. It is also the vehicle used for licensing purposes and therefore, because it is to all intents and purposes a private bar, it is not open to the general public. However, each full member of the Association has membership of the Club paid for out of the annual subscription, so is entitled to use the bar when it is open.

The Social Club is run by a Committee comprised of chairman, secretary and treasurer who are elected at an AGM held on the same evening as the Association’s.

Enquiries about the Social Club and its opening hours should be made to its chairman, Jonathan Smith.

THE OLD ELIZABETHANS (Barnet) PLAYING FIELDS LIMITED

Old Elizabethans (Barnet) Playing Fields Limited was incorporated on 31st August 1950 in order to lease the Memorial Playing Fields at Gypsy Corner from the then Barnet Borough Council. The Association itself was not an appropriate legal entity for this purpose.

The paid up capital of the Company comprises seven £ 1 shares, each of which is held by a member of the Association. The Association controls the ownership of the shares by holding transfers signed by each of the seven shareholders.

There is a Board comprising nine directors who act voluntarily and, as far as possible, are representative of the organizations (currently 7) that have formal agreements to use Gypsy Corner. A Management Committee is appointed to look after the maintenance of the playing field and the pavilion.

The Board is actively seeking to improve the facilities at Gypsy Corner, and to extend the usage of the playing field and pavilion. A Development Committee has been established to identify suitable schemes and investigate potential sources of the necessary Funds.

Any member requiring further information with regard to the Company or who might be interested in participating in the Company's activities should contact Michael Woolf, the Hon. Secretary
