Boozers wine

at ‘sexist’ tax

Wine drinkers are urging

Chancellor Rishi Sunak

not to raise duty on plonk

in next week’s budget –

claiming the tax is sexist.

Some 39% of women list

wine as their top tipple

while just 16% of men love

it, tax-cut campaigners

Wine Drinkers UK say.

Joe Fattorini, of iTV ’s

Wine Show, said: “One

group is disproportion-

ately penalised – women.”

A £5 bottle of wine has a

44% or £2.23 duty charge.

Beer drinkers pay 14% or

54p on a pint costing £3.79.

no more bias

all welcome The club

A bowlS club is finally to

allow women to become

members for the first time in

its 96-year history.

The decision was taken in a

ballot of members, in which 25%

of voters objected to the move.

Until now, women were not

offered full membership of ilkley

Bowling Club, West Yorks.

They could also only access the

bar at certain times and then only

as the guests of male members.

The rules banned women from

entering the drinks area from

Monday to Thursday every week

or before 5pm, Friday to Sunday.

The club’s vote was carried out

at a general meeting after

chairman Alan Breese told

members it was “time to air the

subject”. Out of 1,700 current

members, 506 took part in the

ballot, with 129 casting against

and 377 for the proposal.

Around 15% of the club’s active

players are women.

The subject of female members

was last addressed seven years

ago, when members voted against

the proposal.

Women were already permitted

to play bowls at the club, which

was founded in 1924 and has

mixed gender teams.

Club member Peter Mate

posted on Facebook: “Personally,

i find the current situation unac-

ceptable. it is sad that we had to

go to these lengths, and made a

laughing stock out of the club by

having to go public in this way.

“The Club should be open to

all, with families etc... [it] needs to

be brought into the present day.”
