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.
