THE CIU – STRONGER TOGETHER
Here’s an in-depth look at some of the many services and benefits offered by the CIU
to our affiliated clubs, including legal advice, rules updates and education courses
Advice and Help for Clubs
Affiliated clubs can take advantage of the resources of the
CIU through their local Branch Secretary and from Head
Office with assistance offered in legal proceedings where
matters of club principles are involved. e Union
produces a series of contracts and handbooks which take
in the current legislative requirements, including the Club
Secretary Handbook which is regularly updated to include
the most recent changes to employment law. e Union
also runs an Arbitration Training programme.
Rules
e CIU Rules Department deal with all matters relating
to rules on behalf of clubs, the Union and the Branches.
e preparation of all rule changes for the approval of the
club members, the registration with the Financial
Conduct Authority (FCA) and the printing through the
Union’s printer, are all dealt with at Head Office. Head
Office also deals with clubs’ affiliation to the Union. e
Union has produced a Generic Rules Book especially to
help clubs which are currently unaffiliated to the CIU.
Lobbying on Behalf of Clubs
Union officials have been at the forefront of helping
shape legislation across a number of areas of crucial
importance to clubs through the CIU’s involvement with
the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Non-Profit
Making Private Members’ Clubs. is group, which
meets quarterly at Westminster, gives the Union direct
access to both Members of Parliament and Peers. e
CIU also plays a leading role in the Committee of
Registered Clubs’ Association (CORCA).
6
Education
e new Award in Club Management (ACM) is a
qualification which comprises three self-contained units each
taking one day of classroom- based study to complete. Unit 1
covers Law & Regulation, Licensing, Unit 2 covers Other Law
and Regulations and Unit 3 covers Management, Finance and
Administration. e course is open to all CIU members but is
specifically aimed at people who are going to be sitting on
club committees and occupying positions of authority within
clubs for the first time.
Charity
CIU clubs are at the forefront of raising funds for an
array of national and local charities with members
getting involved in a range of activities – from charity
darts marathons and sponsored bike rides to special
fundraising concerts and entertainment nights. As well as
countless local charities, many national charities benefit
from CIU events that are held throughout the year at our
clubs, including he Alzheimers Society, the British Heart
Foundation and Macmillan Cancer Support.
PRS Tariff
e CIU has negotiated a special discount for its clubs
with the Performing Right Society (PRS) which collects
and distributes licence fees for the use of music on behalf
of songwriters, composers and performers. e PRS
licence covers music played through radios, CDs,
streaming on the internet, music on TVs and also live
music performances. e tariff for Members’ Clubs is
printed annually and can also be downloaded from the
CIU website: www.wmciu.org.uk.

17TRADE SHOW EXHIBITORS
We hear from many of the suppliers who are looking forward to meeting CIU members
and talking business with them at the show
“It’s great to be back at this year’s 2021 CIU Trade show and we look forward
to meeting many of our customers from over the years after missing last year’s
show. We have supported the Club market for over 30 years which makes up a
large part of our business. Being able to demonstrate the quality of our furniture at the show is
important to us and meeting members to discuss their requirements. We have seen a big change in
the styles and finishes required over the years with more clubs wanting to achieve a more modern
look and feel to attract a younger clientele which in turn has resulted in an increase of members and
a success of the Club.”
Graeme Miller, Managing Director, ACE Furniture
“Fantastic opportunity to finally attend the CIU show in Blackpool. We have
wanted to do this for years. As we have all just seen, sport brings so many of us
together so the show will be a great opportunity to introduce our ‘Sports Cinema’
concept based on crowd dynamics, especially given next year’s World Cup. The
concept is built around generating crowd atmosphere transforming events and revenue … it will be
a great chance to introduce this new approach.”
John Shreeve, Big Screen Online
“We’re very excited about the prospect of Blackpool later this month. We’ve been
a keen supporter of the Trade Show for many years now and our calendar
seemed that much poorer without it in 2020. We’re delighted it’s back and look
forward to catching up with our club customers.”
Ed Cracknell, Head of Marketing, BT Sport
“We are excited to be attending the CIU Trade Show for the first time in 2021,
we look forward to meeting everyone on the day!
“We were hoping to attend the CIU Trade show in 2020, so it’s great to
finally have the show booked into our calendar and we look forward to meeting
everyone in September.”
The Card Industry Professionals Team
“We are delighted to be attending our sixth consecutive CIU trade show
meeting our friends old and new, we will be showcasing our innovative range of
products, specifically designed and bespoke for the club sector. It’s been a
tough time for all clubs and we look forward to seeing you on our stand as
always, Club Control understands how important all clubs are to your members and local
community, we will be demonstrating our EPOS Control System, which is now helping over 1,400
clubs. Our systems make controlling your club's finances more secure and accurate, helping you
boost profitability, trade and membership levels as you bounce back from the pandemic. Your staff
and committee officers receive essential full support whilst you’re trading from our dedicated
technical support team to ensure continuous trading. Let’s all enjoy the benefit of socialising
together again at what should be a great trade show.”
Chris McNally, Director, Club Control
18“There’s no doubt it’s been a tough time for us all but it is great to see so
many clubs continuing to support their members and local communities.
Dransfields will continue to work with customers to assist them during these
difficult times and I am therefore delighted to support the rescheduled CIU Trade Show and
Exhibition once again.
“The positives of being able to get together once again and meet in a fun, safe and controlled
manner are immense and will be a highlight of the 2021 calendar for many of us.”
Chris Haley, Managing Director, Dransfields
“While we all know the challenges our sector is going through at the moment, we
hope your experience with Higos Insurance has so far been a positive one. We are
all really looking forward to attending our first CIU Trade Show and Exhibition in
September.
“We certainly hope that we can see as many of the CIU members there as possible, and the Clubs
team will be on hand to talk to you about any of your insurance needs, plus the other services Higos
can offer you as the CIU insurance partner. In the meantime we hope you all stay safe and well, but
if you need to talk to us about anything insurance related please do not hesitate to call the team on
01458 270 303 or email hospitality.portfolio@higos.co.uk.”
Darren Siwiec, Account Executive, Higos Insurance
“Mr Scratchings are delighted to be attending the 29th CIU Trades & Beer
Exhibition and to share with you our comprehensive range of products. In
addition to our famous range of Mr Scratchings Pork Snacks.
“We supply a wide choice of bar snacks, including crisps, snacks, nuts and bar
sundries alongside our cleaning materials and paper products.
“We are happy to support all clubs with competitive pricing, regular promotions and on the day
trade show special offers.”
Roger Gladman, Mr Scratchings
“Northallerton WMC President Michael Herron said “Nationwide Energy have
helped us in ways you couldn’t imagine” and whilst our spectacular success in
getting them £86,000 is hard to repeat. Nationwide Energy as hospitality industry
specialists know the challenges that Clubs face and have the solutions you need.
“Come and visit us at the trade show and find out how we can help your club.”
Dean O’Hara, Managing Director, Nationwide Energy Consultants
“It’s great news that the CIU Trade Show is back for 2021. We look forward
to seeing our club friends old and new at Blackpool this month. This year will
be a little different on our stand as we look forward to sharing with you some
new ideas and technologies that will help clubs to save money and boost their
bottom lines. In the meantime, stay safe and well.”
David King, Director, Pure Purchasing Consultants Ltd
