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
Bryan Burt
Club Scribe.
