President's Report & Results Gordonvale 27 Nov

Hi Members,

Todays game was at Gordonvale GC with 54 starters consisting of 45 men & 9 ladies.

Todays sponsor was GOLF WORLD who also sponsored the FNQVGA Annual Championships at Atherton GC.  Many thanks to GW for their continued support.

The weather was extremely hot and all starters completed the 18 holes with much assistance from Belinda, Claud, Chris and the Schweppes rep who continually delivered cold water/ice & drinks throughout the day. There was much debate regarding the weather to either cancel, reduce to a 9 hole comp or continue as programmed with the latter agreed to and all members did their part by playing through the heat. The course, in particular the greens were very good and in great condition considering that there has been no rain to talk of.  Congrats to Rob and Mike for their work on the course.

The AGM proceeded as planned and we breezed through all agenda items in record time. Outgoing Treasurer John (& Chris) were duly thanked for their dedication and service to the FNQVGA Committee for 3 years, well done to you both. Great job Greg Gibb as outgoing Pres. You are sorely missed. The new Treasurer, Lois Tait is eagerly awaiting to commence her tenure along with her assistant Doug Christison. Wal Anthony, Captain, Andrina Wilson, Vice Captain, Bob Billingham, Shirt Manager & fill-in, myself, President, Russ Gill, Vice President & Louis Siedle continuing as Secretary were all confirmed as the new committee. Welcome all.

All annual trophies were presented to winners in all grades, those not present can pick up their trophies & vouchers next week at Cairns, names of all winners are included in the minutes of our AGM.

The Tablelands Summer of Golf program is on the website.

Next weeks game will be a 4BBB stableford shotgun start at 0730 at Cairns Golf Club to be followed by our XMAS luncheon around 1230.

Robin Pres.
