I would like to thank the Social Group on behalf of the Committee and the members there for a most enjoyable evening yesterday.
The entertainment was good, the food was fantastic, the crafting was great fun and the company was excellent. So thank you Darren, Wendy, Chris and Babs plus all the other elves you got to assist. As always grateful thanks to our bar staff, you were kept very busy.

What a team!
This year we had the challenge to complete the Autumn Renovations for the 2 greens, seeking windows of opportunity in the weather and relying on the team spirit of a group of more than 18 volunteer members of our club.
This week we tackled both greens, moving 10 tonnes of top dressing by hand and that was just the beginning. Spreading fertiliser and grass seed followed by the top dressing and levelling with the lute. In all we spent over 12 hours to complete this task and even managed to put into storage the benches and ditch mats for the winter.
This was a fantastic achievement demonstrating what it means to be a true member of a club.
We hope you will enjoy the result of this work next season !
