What's on 9 December 2021

Bryan Burt - Club scribe • December 9, 2021

Saturday December 11th; Shires Fruit & Vege Market Sponsored Christmas Cheer; 12 noon Shot Gun Start. (Vaccine Pass Required), please bring some extra cash as Marcus Ransom & Glenn McClelland are again running their haggle hole on number 14. Hams on the haggle hole sponsored by PGG Wrightson & Dannevirke Vet Services. All moneys received will go towards the TV to show the days competition upstairs, when the card system is installed.


Match Committee; Mike has asked that the Match Committee arrive at 10am on Saturday to assist with pre tournament duties please 


Seniors Golf;   Next Tuesday December 14th is the Dannevirke Senior’s Xmas Cheer. We will tee off at the usual time of 10.00am. After the golf the AGM will take place followed by the Trophy Presentations.


Club House Booking; Saturday 18 December, Metalform are holding their Christmas function at the Golf Club so the upstairs lounge is closed and members are to use the new bar downstairs. Thanks for your co operation. Stephen     

       

Annual General Meeting; A good muster of members attended the AGM on Monday night. A summary of events, include President Tony Peeti being reelected for the 4th (and his final year) Vice Presidents Vaughan Hales & Peter Greatbatch, Club Captains, Michael Matthews and Glenys Nicol, Secretary / Treasurer. Miranda Hobbs, Match Committee, Norm Evans, Ray Ward, Zane Gregory, Craig Evans, Stephen Paewai, Doug Lochead, Tim Bell, Syd Hikiwai, Nigel brown and Shane Evans, House Committee, Norm Evans, Craig Evans, Peter Drummond, Stephen Paewai, Adam Webster, James Walker, Syd Hikiwai, Dipak Makan, Trevor delaHape, Roger Ransom and Bazil Mott,  Green Committee, James Walker, Roger Ransom, Vaughan Hales, Richard TeTure,  Farm Committee, James Walker and Roger Ransom.



Vaccination was discussed, and a motion which basically requested "No Vaccine no play" was lost on the vote. A second motion which was passed allows unvaccinated members to play the course, but are excluded from Club competitions and tournaments (to avoid being drawn with vaccinated players). A Government mandate, states without a Vaccine Passport you cannot enter licensed premises being our clubhouse, or any buildings associated with the Club. Green fee players, visitors and campers all require a vaccine pass. Covid and passports etc, allows for differing opinions, and our Annual General Meeting was the best opportunity for members to discuss options and I believe this has happened.  Please respect these decisions, and until we have mandated changes from authority higher than your Management Committee,  "Subject closed".


The year is fast drawing to an end. Our course will be open for play right through the holiday period. On behalf of our members I wish to again thank Kierane and AG and their helpers for the tremendous job they do in presenting our course in the manner it is. Staff and committee members deserve a well earned break, so please go with the flow and if there is nothing organised make up a group and enjoy a game.


What's On is signing off for another year (First edition went out in 2012) The next edition will be when Mike rings me, or if something happens that we need to inform all 172 members who receive this email.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families. May you all get a new handicap (lower naturally) for Christmas. 


Good Golfing
