President's Report

I took off for Thailand the day after the game and as we had a committee meeting after the game I did not manage to get the usual report out or the results in the paper – my apologies, (but I had a great time in Patong & a couple of games at Loch Palm with a mate who lives over there!)


Thanks to the volunteers who keep the course in great condition & to Shirley who managed to keep sandwiches etc up with the fine field of 116. Treasurer Col did not have time to play as he was taking off for Tassie a couple of days later, was rushed keeping up with membership renewals & preparing for handover to Noel Webster for a couple of games. Membership for the year to date stands at 169.


We still need a Vice President! It makes things much easier on the committee if we have a full team as it allows for absences for holidays etc, so please give some consideration as to whether you can spare a bit of time.


Welcome to visitors Paul Caesar & Col Horton from Cairns & to new members Ron Barnes & Phil Warwick from Cairns, Paul Lewis from half Moon Bay & David Parish & Kay Mullins from Mareeba.


There are some minor changes to the 2012 program with the City of Cairns event at that club affecting the dates of our Championships in August and a revised program will be posted to the blog soon, with copies available at registration as well.


See you at Gordonvale next Tuesday 21st February.
