Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers
Next Tuesday 16th December is a Single
Stableford, sponsored by the British Lolly Shop, Shop 6, Garrison Building, Hay
Street Port Macquarie. There are no vacancies at present, but if you are
looking for a game, people start pulling out Monday afternoon and Tuesday
morning.
Online Timesheets, I said you would be able to sleep in on
Tuesday 16th December as no timesheets would be open, I was
wrong, Time sheets for 6th January will open on Tuesday 16th
December at 7:00am, timesheets for 13th January will open
at 7:00am on 23rd December.
Thank you for supporting the change of constitution and the
Membership Management Plan. We will work on having those processes in place for
next year.
I need to talk about the proposals put to the meeting on
Tuesday regarding the change to policy, was, if you play 20 games in the year
you receive a ham, the new proposal which has been passed by the committee, is
you must play 60% of available games to receive a ham.
Whilst I did point out the cost of Tuesday Hams, meal,
drinks in excess of $9000, I was by no means crying poor on behalf of our Club.
The real point in this debate is rewarding players who support us all year. The
fields are quite full at this time of year, we would like to encourage players
out in other parts of the year when we have 20 – 30 vacancies. Filling
those vacancies will more than pay for additional hams (if required). Ideally
the Club has a timesheet which is 90% + filled at every game. There is no need
to increase any fees, there is only a need to fill the timesheets each week. It
is about encouraging more members out to the Wauchope Golf Course to play golf
with us every Tuesday, if we accomplish that, we give out 171 hams they are
more than paid for through your weekly games, more players more money, no waste
of resources. I hope this clears the debate up. As the meeting had been closed,
the session regarding the distribution of hams was supposed to be an
information session, as the committee had discussed and resolved to change to
60% of available games at the monthly meeting 2nd December 2014.
Hams Day went well, there was no hams left over, I have cut
mine and it is beautiful, enjoy! Thank you to all the people who helped through
the day, Graham Ferguson and Mal Potter didn’t play golf, they set the room up
and organised the tables. To all the other members who served the salads and
meat patties and the members who helped in the distribution of the hams, Thank
you very much!!!!!
Christmas Lunch was held of Friday 12th December, 31 people attended, everybody seemed to have a good time by the chatter that was happening later in the afternoon. Thank you to those people who attended. I would be interested in suggestions from members for a method of lifting the profile of this event. The numbers have been diminishing in the last couple of years, what can we do to get you back?
Other than our weekly games, nothing happening much until
Tuesday 17th February the Bill Medley Shield at Crescent Head the start of the
2015 season, and we have a visit from Harrington on Tuesday 24th February.
Thursday 9 hole Competition was cancelled because of wet
weather, hence no results.
That’s about it for now.
Good Golfing
Regards
Ross
