THE RACQUET CLUB 2016 FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK Dear Racquet Club Members, It is with great excitement that I write to you from our inaugural quarterly publication, aptly titled The Racquet Club Review. It has been several years since the Club has issued a newsletter and thanks to our talented personnel, we have been able to rejuvenate a more modern publication. I would like to thank Club member Sydney Waldron and staff member Brittany Lawrence for taking the time to design the template for this great periodical. I think that it looks fantastic and I hope that our members will agree. In this maiden voyage of The Racquet Club Review, we lay the foundation for future newsletters. This edition includes a Member Spotlight, a recap of events that occurred during Q1, a look ahead to future events, and employee of the month winners. We are quite thrilled to offer this new channel of communication to our membership and since this is our first shot at a newsletter in several years, we would like to hear what you think of it. If you have any ideas, suggestions, or criticisms, feel free to contact Club management who will be happy to receive your feedback. Although the athletic season is coming to a close on May 12th with the Games Dinner, the summer is just heating up. We have the Summer Kickoff Happy Hour coming up on May 25th and an Italian themed Supper Club dinner on June 12th. I know that we’ll have a great turnout for both events and I look forward to meeting new summer members and socializing with familiar long-time members. I truly hope that you enjoy this publication and I look forward to writing to you again in July where I will be able to offer an update on the squash court project and the Club’s non-profit Fund.

  • Chapter One Alexander Fleuret Woke up About Six O' Clock in the Morning and Found Himself Lying on the Bed Wearing Only Socks, M
    Chapter One Alexander Fleuret woke up about six o' clock in the morning and found himself lying on the bed wearing only socks, Marks & Spencer navy underpants and brown PVC gloves. His head throbbed and his mouth felt oppressively dry. Sprawled over his bed, he stared at the ceiling. His frizzy black hair spilled across the white, overstuffed pillows. He opened his mouth, displaying only rotten stumps for teeth, put one hand to his fragile head while the other found the solid reassurance of the side of the bed. He craned forward groaning. He stumbled to the bathroom. Hearing to his dismay the cushioned but resolute footsteps of Carl on the stairs below, he made a dash for it. He mumbled a few words before scampering in and bolting the door, his hands clasped over his groin. Sober for over a year--and now this! Several embarrassing incidents had made him want to stop. He would drink between half and a full bottle of Bell's whisky a day on top of tranquillizers. One night he woke up in his best navy blue pin-striped suit, lying on his back halfway in the greenhouse doorway. The profound contemplation of the stars was the last thing he remembered. Halfway up the path there was a whisky bottle. Lately, morphine had been his main sedative, but he was still taking the odd Diazepam just out of habit. Regardless of whose company he was in, he would sit swigging from a bottle of Kaolin and Morphine mixture, up to three a day. When the kids were playing in the street outside, during the school holidays, they were a regular source of annoyance to him.

I will discuss my case study, comparing it to the work of other researchers who have explored this specific area, as well as others who might echo my research journey. 6.1 Manchester as a case study: my biographical and experiential backyard The location of Manchester, the UK, for the case study, which is where I live and work, is highly strategic. The city is saturated in popular culture, being named Gunchester, Gangchester and Madchester in the past, and has been well documented by a range of popular journalists and commentators (Haslam, 1999; Swanton, 1997, 1998; Walsh, 2005; Wilson, 2002). The development of club cul- tures in Manchester has been specifically linked to urban regeneration (Lovatt, 1996).

  • Should I Take a Case Against a Bar?
    Should I Take a Case Against a Bar? CHRISTOPHER L. STROHBEHN Should I take a case against a bar? If you are anything like me, you enjoy taking on challenging cases. It could be because I get my fill of the standard automobile accident files, so when a case with unique facts comes along, I grab for it. One category of “interesting liability cases” includes those involving injuries occurring at bars and nightclubs. Wondering what you should do if an injured patron comes through the front door of your office? Here are a few thoughts and tips to consider when reviewing a potential matter. Standard of care Of course, the initial consideration is identifying the standard of care that you will ultimately be required to prove. Generally, determining that standard of care revolves around the question of what would be reasonably foreseeable to expect a bar or tavern owner to do in order to protect patrons on the premise from dangers associated with the business. That reasonable person standard encompasses the reality that there are special dangers associated with the place and the character of these types of businesses. What are those special dangers? They include large numbers of patrons in an establishment (potentially over the approved capacity), patrons drinking alcoholic beverages (probably many to excess), and/or few or poorly- trained security and staff to handle the large crowds that the establishment hopes to generate. What is the bar’s history? If you considering taking a case against a bar, you need to know the bar’s history and the history of its owners and operators.

Swords School of Communication [email protected] An Exploratory Ethnography of the Gendered Communicative Behaviors of Bouncers This research study focuses on combining my interests in interpersonal communica- tion and organizational communication, and work experience as club security. Specifically, the research explores the communicative behaviors of club security (i.e., bouncers) in two different situational contexts, specifically those based on population and demographic compo- sition. The communicative behaviors of bouncers were explored in two specific contexts in the Midwest: (1) a college town with mid-size city population, and (2) an urban center of one of the largest cities in the U.S. Utilizing an ethnographic methodological approach – as a partici- pant-observer– as the primary data source, a commitment of 32 hours of observations were recorded.
