Eagles Golfing Society. A delayed Halberg Tournament is to be held in November at Napier Golf Club. This tournament has a field in excess of 120, and last year $15000, was past over to the Halberg Foundation for assisting children with disabilities into sport. Part of this donation comes from a raffle sponsored by Julian Robertson (Honorary Member HB Eagles) for 4 round of golf at Cape Kidnappers with carts. Many of the other HB Clubs including Dannevirke, and others around the North Island also donate rounds. Dannevirke Eagles Stephen Prenter, Warren Ridge, Max Charmley, Rod Henricksen, Carn Berry and I will be selling these tickets Friday & Saturday this week end, so please support us and the Halberg Foundation Tickets $5 each.
Management Committee meeting
23rd September;
Security. This was raised again last night. Please if you are getting your clubs from the trundler shed, do not walk away and leave the door pinned back and unlocked. I shouldn't happen, but we are aware of a pair of golf shoes, and two clubs being removed from this shed. Camera footage will hopefully find the culprit. So please this door needs to be locked at all times.
Functions, Two weeks ago, the Club hosted the Aotea Sports Club prize giving on the Friday evening, and Graham Lunds 60th birthday on the Saturday.
