Annual General Meeting; A good muster of members attended the AGM on Monday night.

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
