Saturday 4th July: Round 1 Sattrup & Brannigan 4bbb matchplay competition. We have 26 pairs playing this year, which is brilliant. I have a draw, but I will include it in next weeks edition as there are a couple of names I have to sort out before going to press.
Management Committee Meeting, Tuesday 24th June;
- During the week please and until further notice, can we refrain from teeing off until 9am. This gives the staff time to get ahead of you and not have to let groups through.
- Skip Bin, The bin is for clubhouse rubbish only. There are black litter bags being brought out from town, which has to stop please. Going forward our security cameras will be used to identify offenders if this practice continues
- Miranda reported that the Infinity Foundation is taking applications again, so wage applications will be going in in the months to come.
- President Tony spoke of the idea that originated from the Friday boys, that turned into the building of the new front entrance. This project came to the management committee and had their backing all the way. If individuals or any group has an idea they wish to proceed with, please contact any Committee member to table your idea, so we have an official record, and that thank you letters etc can be sent to appropriate donors / sponsors. NB Gates and signage are part two of the entrance project, so yes the farm gates will be replaced.
Number 7 Tee Ground Gardens; This area is looking a tad shabby at present, so I had a discussion with Jad Suttor regarding this. We would like to get together a group of male and female members, to repair and replant this area. Looking for some brain power, (found that) plus some physical power. With our ageing membership, some of our previous gardiners are no longer active so we want to rebuild that work force. The plan then is to get together at 9.30am on Monday 29th June to work on this area. Clearing undergrowth, trimming what needs trimming (under guidance) and sorting the irrigation. If you or your partner want to be part of this group please call or text me on 0274 976382, so we know who is attending. If the weather is not playing ball, we know who to contact regarding cancellation. The general plan is a low maintenance roundup / trim type garden, not flower beds that require repeated weeding. If the group then want to put forward other ideas, we can get the appropriate approval and move forward. Own tools required.
That's it folk. Thanks to the members who noticed I hadn't sent out a What's On for the past two weeks, but their wasn't anything to report. Two new emails have been provided this week, Pam Prenter and Elaine Swanney, welcome ladies. Best wishes to all involved in Club Champs and Summer Cup finals this Saturday, and to our green fingered members, see you Monday
Good Golfing
