President's Report & Results Cairns 4 Dec

Hi Members,

Todays game was at Cairns GC with 103 starters consisting of 80 men & 23 ladies. Today's sponsor was Stratford Painting Contractor (SPC), Mr Gordon Perry who unfortunately, due to work commitments could not attend today`s game. Many thanks Gordon for your support throughout 2018 and also for continuing into 2019, much appreciated by all members.

The weather was slightly cooler than the recent extreme heat in our Region.  All players kept the fluids up & enjoyed the final game for 2018. Many thanks to Chloe for organising and managing the Xmas luncheon which went down a treat by all Vets members reports.

Attendances by our sponsors was also well received as it provided an opportunity for members to come face to face with those businesses supporting the FNQVGA. Attending sponsors were, Wal Anthony (Babinda GC), Bob Westerman (Golf World), Alan Dredge (Stack-a-pots), Scott Payne (Complete Health & Fitness) and Darren Golder (Drummonds). I would also like to thank all of our other sponsors, Kennedy`s Betta Home Living, Cape York Accounting, Brothers Leagues Club, Cazaly`s and Half Moon Bay Golf Club for supporting us throughout 2018.

My thanks and appreciation to the committee members both outgoing and incoming for their excellent work week to week and in particular to the manner in which today`s game was arranged and organised, worked a treat, well done to all.

The FNQVGA will resume competitions on 5 Feb, but theTablelands Summer of Golf will commence next week, 1^st game at Millaa Millaa at 0830. These games will be run by the individual Golf Clubs and they would appreciate your support over this period.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone and hope to see your smiling faces sooner rather than later.

Robin Pres.
