Annual General Meeting. (Summary)

 

A good number attended last Mondays AGM.  Members appeared satisfied with the current state of the Club. Financially we came through the eight week lock down pretty well, but we did run a deficit for the year. Notable was the reduction in Grants this year in particular The Infinity Foundation which assisted us with wages last year to the tune of $43K this year $15k. Infinity no longer has machines in Dannevirke, so grants from them have ceased altogether.

With many members paying their subscriptions either weekly or monthly now, it was agreed to lift the subs by 50 cents per week, as we hadn't had an increase for some years and those in attendance felt a small increase was due.


Defibrillator, Well done to the ladies for getting training on the use of our defibrillator. A concern was that it is in a locked cabinet, but as previously mentioned in this forum, each and every one of you should have that code somewhere in or on your golf clubs. The code will be printed on next years bag tags, but in the interim please write down Code 201 to get the machine out of the box and ready for use  (Hopefully we never need to use it, but like a guide or scout be prepared)


Security; Again the issue of doors being left unlocked was raised. Please if you are a key holder, check all external doors before leaving the course. In regards the trundler shed, simply shutting the door does not lock the door. Please push LOCK  when the door is closed to complete the locking process.


Sale of the Farm House; progress was reported on by President Tony.. The house has been prepared for subdivision, and new fencing for the parcel of land has been erected. We have an Approval from Council to subdivide, which will be followed up by the actual Subdivision process and receiving a title for said block of land. Grounds and surrounds are to be tidied up prior to being placed on the open market.. Further details to follow as the process moves along.

 

The year 2020    The year has thrown us all a curve ball, but here we are, at the end of another calender and golfing year. To our course staff Keirane & Anthony, our sincere thanks. Miranda, many don't see you but your work as Secretary / treasurer is much appreciated . To the Management, and Committee Members and all our volunteers (bunkers, gardens, water buckets, cleaners, Clubhouse Manager, Builders, Electricians, Paintersl etc etc ) our sincere thanks for your contribution to Dannevirke Golf Club this past year. 

 

As Saturday concludes our golfing year with Christmas Cheer, scribe is taking a break until 2021.  Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 

 

Good Golfing one and all

What's On 16th June 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • June 12, 2025
Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
