President's Report

A beautiful cool day brought out our best field for the season so far – 115 men & 15 ladies.

The course was in excellent condition after a major comp at the weekend. Well done to the greens staff. Thanks also to Shirley who managed to keep up with the raisin bread & sandwiches & to Kevin who managed to win a ball despite limping around the course.

Welcome to new members Pat Shay & Paul Wright of Half Moon Bay, Les Cawthorne of Cairns & Alan Almond of Bagara, who managed to get a Nearest the Pin on 8 & together with Russ Gill, soundly defeat Roger & me for the ticket!

Welcome also to four visitors, John Barber from Geelong, Charlie Greenhalgh of Black Springs, Jim Gatherrole of Tully Valley & Bill Grumley of Half Moon Bay, who managed Runner-up in Div 2. We hope you come again.

Following some discussions at a committee meeting about the possibility of obtaining a defibrillator for the Association, Roger had arranged for a representative from St John's Ambulance to attend after the game & demonstrate a couple. Unfortunately, because of the large field playing, we finished a bit later than planned & Shane had a meeting in Cairns at 3pm, so the demonstration was rather curtailed. However, I think those who attended were impressed with how simple it was.

Given the number of members playing each week & their ages, we need to consider what level of duty of care the Association owes to them. The committee will discuss this issue further at its next meeting, but if you have any thoughts on it, please speak to us or email us.

Our next game is at Atherton golf club on 12^th June.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Also, a reminder that anyone wishing to play on either or both days of our Open at Cairns on 25/26 June MUST complete an entry form (obtainable from June Willmot) by 19^th June.
