Twilight: Due to Farmlands Golf on this Friday and with getting dark fast, (TP, Chalky, and Baz) have decided that Twilight has come to an end for this year. Next season, we will be returning to Thursday nights

Fridays have been ok, but we feel Thursdays are better. Thanks to the starters and results person, barstaff and Emily Mott for her BBQ cooking. Another successful twilight season. See you next summer

Lounge: You may notice a few grey chairs starting to appear upstairs. Thanks to Kevin Jameson who has offered and is recovering them for us. The Club purchased the cloth, and Kevin is taking a few home at the time to recover them.

4 Course Classic: The annual seniors tournament kicks off at Dannevirke on Monday 25th, so there will be plenty of camper vans around the car park over the weekend. Good luck to our members involved in this event.

Coring: Tuesday March 26th Please be aware the course is closed on Tuesday until further notice, while coring is completed. Brian & Kieran, will have signage out advising the course is closed, and we request members respect their instructions. It is normal for the Course to reopen Friday, but I will leave it to either staff or the greens committee to advise me if they open early, whereby I will send a What's On Special advising as such.
