We did have some blue sky ans sunshine for golf today but the course was too soft to be able allow carts out so that cut our field back substantially

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Syableford Medley due to a reduced field.

Golf - Saturday 4th April 2015

This is the one and only Wayne Sneade

The boys are having a great time at the TAB.

The forecast unfortunately was correct and the course is under deluge.

Bad luck guys!

The course is closed - not surprisingly!

It was good to see other volunteers here today - Andy Henebury who has volunteered to come over to help clean the carts to free up staff time.  How good is that - well done Andy!

Zorro impressed me no end by picking up glasses and clearing rubbish from the tables to give our bar staff a break.  Great work Zorro! 

I must say the carpets look very nice and clean today.

Our Members are coming good in times of need!

You may well have thought the clubhouse was deserted today - in fact it was very busy with volunteer Members keen to do some work to give the club a helping hand.

Work done by our workers were painting the Magnolia Room, painting the doors in the clubhouse, replacing faulty light fittings, ceiling repairs, cleaning the lights, giving the clubhouse carpets a good shampoo and clean.

Many thanks go to our much appreciated workers - John Harrison, Rob Benson, David Medcalf, Peter Martin, Ross Hendy, Ted Roberts, Paul Scholberg, Jock Campbell, Ron Puiatti, Col Matterson, Duncan Dyer and George Foster who all took time out of their Easter Holidays. 

YES, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

What can you do to contribute to our club?

Happy Easter news - Thursday 2nd April 2015

Happy Easter to all of our Members  and we have some great Easter news with this year's fees being reduced to attract more Members.  All Members will benefit from the new fee structure  with all Members now being 7 day members - Men and Ladies. This will give our now 5 day members the opportunity to play on the weekends.

We encourage our Members to play more golf and to support the club by attending club functions put on for the Members.

Tonight we had an early Easter Club Raffles and Members draw due to tomorrow being Good Friday and the clubhouse will be closed.  We were treated to some nice complimentary Easter Eggs which was a bonus.
