Hello

If you’re anything like us, it’ll be a bit of a relief to say goodbye to January. After all the festivities of Christmas, it can drag on a little! But now we’re heading into February, the days are getting longer and spring is on the way… nearly.

Get a room

Did you know that we have rooms of all sizes available for hire? We have two small meeting rooms that can accommodate boardroom style meetings of up to 20, or theatre style 40. Our large meeting room can accommodate boardroom style meetings of up to 50, or theatre style of 120. And finally, there’s our large international sports hall, equipped with retractable seating (262 seats) and capacity for 500. So if you are looking to host an event or a party, look no further. Get in touch with Zac for more information, availability and rates.

Membership Management

You may have noticed or informed by a member of our team, that we have switched to a new company, Ashbourne Membership Management, for membership payments. What does this mean? Well, when you click through to sign up on our website you will be redirected to Ashbourne’s website to complete your details. However, your membership agreement is still with thePoint4. You will also now see Ashbourne’s name on your bank statement and any queries regarding payments will go through their team. If you have any concerns or questions please get in touch.

A Will for good cause

If you haven’t yet made a Will, make March 2024 the month to put that right.  Local Legal Consultant Alan Hing of Mundy’s in Hereford will kindly waive his usual Will Writing fee for a suggested donation of £150 single / £250 mirror straightforward Will, to The Royal National College for the Blind.

Dates are available throughout March and can be arranged by contacting Alan at Mundy’s, 4 King Street, Hereford HR4 9BW, by email or by telephone 01432 265 630. Online meetings can be arranged. For more information, please contact the RNC Fundraising Team on 01432 376 387 or email us.

February at The Pod Cafe

This month, as part of our Foodie Thursday, the Pod will be serving up a warming Hungarian Goulash on 1st, delicious Polish treats on 8th, tasty Vietnamese cuisine on 22nd and a French feast on 29th. Priced from just £3.95 for a delicious hot lunch, there’s no excuse to miss out and everyone is welcome.
