All,
Please be advised that the Babinda game tomorrow has been CANCELLED.
The course had 6 inches of rain yesterday & it's still raining, so the course is very sloppy! The Babinda President advised that it is most unlikely it would be fit to play tomorrow.
If you are in touch with anyone who normally plays in the veterans, who is not on the internet, please let them know of the cancellation.
We will advise what will be done about second round of the Patron's Trophy in due course.
Thanks,
Louis Siedle
VP

Vice President's Report 16th November 2010
All,
As I've had no emails from President Ross spruiking about how well our members had done in the National Championships at Port Macquarie, I must assume they are drowning their sorrows!
The Cairns course was in great condition and the forecast rain avoided us, so some respectable scores were returned, with winners enjoying good prizes supplied by Golf World who sponsored the event.
We welcomed two visitors, Sandy Jamieson from Headland and Peter Billingham from Beerwah and a new member, Des Jones from Half Moon Bay Golf Club.
Our Treasurer is still eagerly accepting subscriptions for 2011. Please present your Membership card for validation when paying.
We have FNQVGA shirts in various sizes available at $30 for short sleeves & $35 for long.
Also, we have had a quote for nametags since several people have suggested they would be a good idea. Please let me know if you want one. The cost is $7.
Next games are at Babinda on 23rd November, and Gordonvale on 30th November both Single Stableford, with the former being the second round of the Patron's Trophy.
The Gordonvale game will be a shotgun start at 8.30am following our AGM which starts at 8am.
Hope to see you there.
Cheers,
Lou Siedle

Vice President's Report 9th November 2010
All,
As the President is swanning around NSW for the next couple of weeks with a few others who are gamely representing our region in the National Championships at Port Macquarie, it falls on me to present a report. May they avoid all trees and water and bring back plenty of prizes.
Mareeba turned on great weather for the game today, as was indicated by the turnout of 103 players.
The greenkeeper is to be congratulated on the fine condition of the course, apart from a few trees being in the wrong place!
The scores reflected the course condition and the winners benefitted from prizes supplied by Drummond Golf who sponsored the event.
We welcomed two visitors from Coomella in NSW, Molly & Buster Krause and a new member, Lloyd Gilbert from Half Moon Bay Golf Club.
Our Treasurer is eagerly accepting subscriptions for 2011. Please present your Membership card for validation when paying.
