EDPL MEMBERS SURVEY - sent to email list |
If you're in the EDPL email list, you would have received an EDPL MEMBER SURVEY today....
The EDPL is currently working on finalising an updated 5-year plan.
A number of issues are being considered, not the least is whether the EDPL should be looking at purchasing/running a Pool venue.
The questions in the survey are a request for feedback from members on what you think of such a proposal and whether you are able or would be willing to provide assistance.
The responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide your name at the end of the survey.
Thanks for participating! |
DONATIONS β towards the future of EDPL |
DONATIONS β towards the future of EDPL
On and off for many years the EDPL has been considering whether it should look at purchasing a property and providing a venue for pool competition.
Since COVID, this has become more of a priority as many pubs and clubs are restricting the use of their tables for competition and recent events at Potters has highlighted this issue.
As part of the 5-year plan, consideration is being given as to whether it is possible for EDPL to participate in the purchase of a pool venue however it depends on the level of support from within the membership base.
One approach is to create a facility to receive tax deductible donations from interested members.
Our aim is to raise funds that, together with borrowings, will enable the purchase of a property to be fitted out as a modern venue for the use of the EDPL members and the local community.
All donations of more than $1,000 (in total) will be acknowledged as part of this project.
We encourage every member to take up the opportunity to contribute to the future health of Eight Ball by making a tax-deductible donation.
Further information is available at

EDPL Executive Committee (1/12/23) |
