Survey Results

Thanks to all those who completed our survey before Xmas.  We have now been through all responses & tried to summarise them so you can see overall views.

It will give you an idea of what the committee is faced with to try to keep everyone happy, but we were delighted to see how many are prepared to serve on the committee.  That certainly bodes well for the future.

We were also fascinated by the fact that about 14% of those that completed it weren't sure of their gender, as they didn't circle it - will our first game be awash with rainbow colours?

Vale Jim Logan

VALE 

It is my sad duty to report the passing today of James Henry (Jimmy) Logan. 

Jimmy was a long time and respected member of the F.N.Q.V.G.A and the Half Moon Bay Golf Club. He was a fiercely competitive person and it was this strength of character which helped in his fight against the illness which eventually claimed him. 

He will be missed by all those who knew him and our Association's condolences go to Marg, his wife, and to his extended family and friends. 

Greg Gibb 
President
