Gordonvale AGM, Presidents report & Results.

Today was a very big day for the management committee as we had the Annual General Meeting as well as presentations after the game. The meeting was well attended and all the reports were accepted as presented. There was no need for elections and all the candidates were duly appointed. The new committee is made up of;
president,           Roger Smith.
vice pres.            Greg Gibb.
captain,               Russ Gill.
vice captain,       Wal Anthony.
treasurer,             John Everall.
secretary,            Louis Siedle.
committee,         Chris Everall, Lois Tait, Andrina Wilson,  Robin Tonks.
As president I wish to thank the outgoing members, Suzanne Brennan and Diane Diversi. I also welcome and look forward to working with the new members, Andrina Wilson and Robin Tonks.

As soon as the meeting ended golfers all headed out for the 4bbb shotgun start and I congratulate all players for completing the round in 4 hours.

The sponsor for the day was SAVANNAH LIFESTYLE RESORT and we were privileged to have Melody Lucas address the gathering and present the prizes that Savannah provided.

Next Tuesday is our annual breakup golf and lunch at Cairns Golf Club, the cost is $20 , with the remainder being paid by the association so don't miss this one. The game is a 2 ball ambrose and is a 7.30 SHOTGUN START so all players will need to register BEFORE 7 AM so we can get you all to your respective tees in time for the start. Also, please inform the treasurer if you are on a buggy so the poor foot soldiers can have the nearer tees.

Gordonvale Golf & AGM

This is a reminder to all members to register before 8AM at Gordonvale this Tuesday so we can get the AGM started on time. I promise it wont take long and hopefully the shotgun start will go ahead around 8.30 AM. the game is a 4 ball better ball stableford.
see you there,

Presidents Report and Results. Atherton 22 Nov.

60 men and 14 women enjoyed a beautiful sunny day at Atherton with a refreshing breeze to keep the golfers cool.

The sponsor today was FIG TREE HEALTH  of Atherton and we thank them very much for the Golf World vouchers that were presented to the winners and runners up.

During the week our treasurer John received a cheque for $170 from Bendigo Bank. this comes about because we are a non profit organisation banking with them and we also would get that amount increased if our members who bank with the Bendigo simply nominate FNQ vets as their club of choice, with no cost to the individual. So if you bank at the Bendigo or are considering  changing banks please help your club if you can.

Please remember that next Tuesday is our annual general meeting at 8 am sharp at Gordonvale so please register to play golf well before this time. Our meetings rarely take very long and the shotgun start is at 8.30 am. The event is a 4 ball better ball stableford so if you can organise your partner it will save time.

The following Tuesday is our final day of the year and also our Christmas lunch. Our committee have decided to use some of the reserve money and make the day considerably cheaper for all those participating. The quote for the dinner is not final yet but I think members will only be charged around $20 for golf and lunch.

Presidents Report & Results HMB 15th Nov.

Todays event was a single stableford at Half Moon Bay and we had a field of 70 men and 16 ladies. The weather was kind to us but has served notice that summer is well on the way. We welcomed visitor Ross Norman from Mollymook NSW and I hope he enjoyed his day at "vets".

The sponsors today were BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB and KENNEDYS BETTER HOME LIVING.   We did this because the vouchers donated to us by Brothers almost a year ago are almost expired. Winners please check your voucher and use it before the date on the back. Any winners who are not going to Atherton next week will need to contact me on 0407341125 to collect their prize.

As I am sure most of you know, Half Moon Bay club have been donating a box of beer to be raffled with free entry to those at presentations. the winner today was Greg Gibb, who proudly claimed his prize amid cries of "redraw, redraw". thanks HMB for adding that little extra to our day.

15th NOVEMBER 2016

Tomorrows game is a single stableford at Half Moon Bay. the weather seems to have cooled a little so I hope to see you there.

PRESIDENTS REPORT AND RESULTS 8th NOVEMBER.

Todays game was a single stableford at the Gordonvale Golf Club and the field of 54 men and 14 women was reasonable considering many of our members are in Adelaide competing in the veterans national championships. We wish these players good luck and hope to see trophies on their return.

The sponsor today was CAZALY'S AFL CLUB and the winners and runners up have venue vouchers to spend on drinks, meals or entertainment.

Today we welcome new member Heather Forster from Half Moon Bay as well as two visitors, Cheryl Scown and Barbara Stedman, both from Pioneer Valley.

I must also take this opportunity to congratulate the Gordonvale Club on the condition of their course. Although the fairways are quite dry, the greens are the best they have been for some time.
