President's Message 28th September 2010

All,

I thought the weather was going to be unkind to us again this morning, but it cleared up to be a very warm day, a bit on the humid side.

There were 121 Veteran Golfers started in today’s competition. The day was sponsored by Rob Brydon’s Pro Shop at Half Moon Bay G.C., thank you Rob and Staff.

The course was groomed to test the ability of all golfers. Thank you Half Moon Bay Golf Club for presenting such good course conditions.

Welcome to visitors, Clive Eaton from Palmerston NT and Morris Stabb from Rosanna Vic.

Our next games are Tuesday 5th October 2010 at Gordonvale Golf Club followed on Tuesday 12th October at Mareeba Golf Club.

Hope to see you there

Regards
Ross Bird

Committee Positions for 2010/11

All,


The AGM on 30 November BEFORE the Gordonvale game will be on us before we know it, and the management committee is nominated at that meeting.

No doubt there will be many of our members who are eager to attain a position of such power and influence, so we are calling for nominations for positions on the management committee for the 2010/11 year in good time to enable them to start their lobbying!

Please highlight and copy the nomination form below and return it completed to any committee member or the Secretary by 16 November (although sooner would be appreciated).

Regards,

Lou

VP


PS  If you would like to help out without becoming a committee member eg by sorting cards at the end of the game, marking up the board or putting nearest the pin markers out prior to the games, please let any committee member know.  We really appreciate volunteers who step forward before the Sgt Major gets to them!
