Match Committee;  Captain Mike requests a brief meeting at 10.30am please

Clubhouse;   This Saturday 7 October, we are hosting the Aotea Sports Club end of year function. Therefore the upstairs lounge will be closed on Friday and Saturday so if everyone could use the downstairs lounge please.


On Friday 20 October I have an enquiry, still to be confirmed, about using our upstairs lounge for a corporate event for approximately 35 people. It starts at 5 pm and will finish by 10 pm. I don’t know if they need the bar at this stage but I’ll need someone to be present particularly to lock up. If you’re able to help please let me know. Regards Stephen


Early edition this week as I have limited time available tomorrow. Lets hope for some decent weather to have an enjoyable round of golf over the week end.


Good golfing
