Funding, Miranda is working through recent changes with funding applications. The Infinity fund no longer has machines in Dannevirke. The same fund has a new name and an increased area, so we may struggle with funding from them going forward.
Applications are going to the new Foundation with machines in the Merrylees Hotel, plus the larger requests will still go through Pub Charity (Mangatera Hotel machines) .
Golf HB & Poverty Bay Ladies; Our Association will attempt to hold their AGM next Thursday 3rd September. The previous date did not meet the necessary numbers to continue. (Debatable, but one city Club President would not let it continue)
Bottom Bar Area; While there was some disappointment this hasn't progressed as well as expected. The Covid closure, and Petes new hip haven't helped, so please members patience is requested.
Cart Shed; The new door has been installed. Any member with a valid reason for holding a key to this shed, please see either President Tony, or Peter Greatbatch
Gates, Inspiration and time are still in progress
With 20mm of rain this week, there may be some softer spots around the Course, so please be mindful where you walk, tow your trundler, or drive your carts.. The Course looks great at the moment, so please don't spoil it this late in the winter. Spring Golf starts Tuesday, Come on out, join in and enjoy our Club and Course.
Good Golfing
