Sisters Club;  I needed to get the order in for the tournament shirt, however I’ll give people till Sunday to order their shirt, but you need to contact me.

It would be great to get more players so if you’re interested please put your name on the list in the foyer. I’ve had a couple of offers of help. We just need a couple of hours of your time either on Saturday 1 June or Sunday 2 June. Please contact me. Regards Stephen


Driveway;  President Peter has today completed some repair work on the side of our driveway into the course, in preparation for sealing. Some areas have been marked with Cones. Please treat these areas with the utmost respect. I know many of you get upset with cones on the road, but this is on our road, so slow down and avoid the edges. Weather permitting, the road may be sealed next Tuesday. 


State Highway 2;  Bridge maintenance on State Highway 2 (SH2) near Dannevirke. (public notification)


From 9am Monday 29 April for the duration of 6 days (weather permitting), essential bridge maintenance and asphalt work will begin at Tamaki River Bridge on SH2, near Tamaki River Road, Tahoraiti. These works are scheduled to end on Saturday 4 May at 5pm.


Due to the narrowness of the bridge we need to close it to all traffic while this work is completed. Closing the bridge will enable crews to complete the work faster, minimising ongoing disruption to road users. The bridge will be closed 24 hours a day while work is underway with the following detour in place for traffic:

 

  • Southbound traffic will detour Laws Road, onto Top Grass Road then to Tamaki River Road.
  • Northbound traffic will detour Maharahara Road to Kumeti Road, onto Top Grass Road and then to Laws Road

The detour route is suitable for HMPV and is expected to add between 10-15 minutes to journey times.


Where required, school buses, emergency services and over dimension vehicles can be convoyed through the site when needed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding of these works.


For more information please contact HNO-PN@nzta.govt.nz.

A bit of information to take in tonight. For those heading to the Cape Saturday, or staying home playing matches, good luck. As always travel safely.


Good Golfing👍
