All,
Unfortunately the game at Cairns GC had to be cancelled today because of the rain, which shows no sign of letting up at present.
As the day was supposed to be the last round of the Ted Thomasson Trophy & also in aid of the Cairns Cancer Council, the committee resolved that both those events be postponed to our game at Half Moon Bay GC on Monday 31st October.

Next Game Cairns GC 18th October
Veteran Golfers
Cairns Golf Club is hosting next Tuesdays event. The course looks in great condition, & I'm sure the greens will be quite speedy after the recent hot, windy drying spell.
The event is a Single Stableford, sponsored by Golf World. As previously advised, this will be a day in aid of the Cancer Council & comp fees will be $10, with $3 being donated to the Cancer Council. If you have anything yellow to wear to show you support for the cause, feel free to brighten up the course! This is also the last round of the Ted Thomasson Trophy.
If you are interested in being on the committee next year, we will have nomination forms at the sign-in desk. Please give some thought to joining us - many hands make light work.
Also we are seeking sponsors for next year, if you can point us in a particular direction, introduce us to a potential sponsor, or even organise the sponsorship, it would be much appreciated.
Next games after Cairns are Tuesday 25th October, at Millaa Millaa Golf Club, Single Stableford, which is the first round of the Patron's Trophy, followed by MONDAY 31st October (day before the Melbourne Cup) at Half Moon Bay Golf Club, Single Stableford.

President's Message 11th October 2011
President's Report
Veteran Golfers
Thank you to Atherton Golf Club for preparing the course, sponsoring today's event & providing the sandwiches which were appreciated as usual. The course had plenty of run & anyone with a downhill putt on the 15th had an interesting experience!
96 golfers who contested today's event, 75 Men & 21 Ladies. This was the last game for the Consistency trophy. The next game at Cairns will be the final for the Ted Thomasson Trophy & the one at Millaa Millaa the week after will be the first round of the Parton's Trophy.
Welcome to our visitors Ryosei Kobayashi from japan, Rita Gibson from Torquay in the UK, Robyn Harper & Barry Foxover from Half Moon Bay, & Margaret Magill & Cheryl Piccone from Atherton.
Coming up are games on Tuesday 18th October Single Stableford at Cairns Golf Club. This event is the Cancer Council Event, so entry fee for that day will be $10 with $3 of that going to the Cancer Council. Wear yellow if you want to make an impact. Then on 25th October we have the first round of the Patron's Trophy at Millaa Millaa, also a single stableford.
Remember, we are seeking people who are interested in joining the committee next year. There will be at least 3 vacancies from the current committee & I will have some nomination forms at the book-in table over the next few games. Please give some consideration to signing up, as it is not an onerous job if there are enough people involved to fill in gaps caused by illness, family commitments, holidays etc
The year is drawing to a close, with our final event & Xmas breakup on 6th December at Cairns GC, but if you are looking for additional games to fill in December, Mareeba Golf Club is having its 2011 "Closing Day" on Saturday the 10th December. If interested, you can give them a ring for details.
I look forward to seeing you at Cairns on 18th October.

Veteran Golfers
Thank you to the 128 golfers who contested today's event, 107 Men & 22 Ladies.
Highgrove Bathrooms were the sponsors and again provided some great putters as prizes, and Half Moon Bay Golf Club hosted todays event. The course was as challenging as usual but some good scores were returned and the catering hit the spot again. Thanks to all involved.
Welcome to our visitors Vaughn Edwards, Brian Miller & Barry Foxover from Half Moon Bay, Don Hastie from Northlake, Rita Gibson all the way from Torquay in the UK & Patricia & Michael Chadwick from Mirimar, NZ.
We are seeking people who are interested in joining the committee next year. There will be at least 3 vacancies from the current committee & I will have some nomination forms at the book-in table over the next few games. Please give some consideration to signing up, as it is not an onerous job if there are enough people involved to fill in gaps caused by illness, family commitments, holidays etc.
Ross announced his resignation as President at the meeting and Claud Clark made a short speech & presented him with a plaque expressing our appreciation for his efforts over the last 5 years & to remind him how much he enjoyed our company! Whilst he is moving south shortly I'm sure we will see him up here again to thaw out next winter if not before. I will take over as President until the AGM in November & will offer myself for the position for 2012, but if anyone else would like to nominate please feel free!
Coming up are games on Tuesday 11th October which is a Single Stableford at Atherton Golf Club, followed on Tuesday 18th October Single Stableford at Cairns Golf Club. This event is the Cancer Council Event, so entry fee for that day will be $10 with $3 of that going to the Cancer Council. Wear yellow if you want to make an impact. Then on 25th October we have the first round of the Patron's Trophy at Millaa Millaa, also a single stableford.
For those members interested in attending the 2012 National Championships at Mornington Penisula, Vic, the application forms are about to be placed on the web. This Championship will be very popular as the courses being played are Rosebud, The Dunes, The Legends Course at Moonah Links and the Ocean Course at The National Golf Club.

Hope to see you at these games.
