2     APOLOGIES:  

 

3      MINUTES OF LAST MEETING: Accepted & Signed.

  

  1. 4.        MATTERS ARISING: Lucy reported that the Cats Competition and raffle had raised £216.60.  There had been some controversy over how this money should be distributed.  She had decided that, with the Committee’s approval, the money should be given to Di and if she wished to give a donation to the charity, so be it.   This was approved and Di was called in and presented with a cheque, for which she was very grateful. Lucy also thanked her for the wonderful pancakes with an excellent selection of fillings – all fattening.  

The Bring and Buy sale after the Draw night was discussed and it was decided to split the proceeds              50/50 between the Ladies Section and the Charity. Dawn and Vron will be in charge of a % table – an idea of Liz South’s, whereby anyone wanting to sell a large item, can give a percentage of the price to the funds.

Ian and Hannah’s present had been purchased and was slightly less than original invoiced, so the          money was made up to £120 with a gift voucher.

 

  1. 5.       CAPTAIN’S REPORT:  Not much to report.  As I am sure you all know, there have been three offers for the Club and no report yet as to which one might be the buyer (If any!) Still a question of wait and see.  Pancake day has been covered in the previous  item.  Our next social event is the Knockout Draw evening on 24th March (assuming that we are still running as a club at that time)  This will be followed by a ‘Bring and Buy Sale’.   This sale is not restricted to Club members, so please tell your friends that they are welcome to come along and participate in both the bringing and the buying.  The more the merrier.    Qualifying competitions have started already and as we have more this year, in line with EWGA rules, it will be interesting to see if handicaps fluctuate more than before (I would expect this to be the case, if we all choose to play them all!)   Good luck to everyone.   Lets hope for a good season.

                                                        Balance at Bank 04/03/09                  £2226.39

            9          GENERAL COMMITTEE:   There had been only 10 tables at the last Quiz Night, which is down from the usual number.   Next one on March 21st.   The fixture list is ready for printing, but is onhold at present.  There was a request for early spaces for non competition players on week-ends, but this has been refused at present.   The handicap review saw 30 increases and 5 cuts.   The men’s section has no Treasurer, so it is unclear how much is in their account at present, but Dave Wye has been assured it is secure.  Dave Nelson attended the meeting to update it on the present state of play with the interested parties for the club.  There is nothing to report until the accountants in Bristol have reported back to the Bank,

 

10          COUNTY MATTERS: No report

 

 

ANY OTHER BUSINESS; Anne will put up a copy of a letter she has received re. inactive handicaps and the method of dealing with them.  This comes into operation in 2010  This entails 3 cards in a calendar year.  It was suggested that we also should also revert to a Calendar year in 2010, for our qualifying cards for our competitions.  With all the qualifiers available, this should not inconvenience any of the ladies.  The question of whether the Ladies Championship cards counted, was raised, and it was agreed that in future they should be counted.     There were 2 letters from EWGA – one suggesting that we dedicated the proceeds of a Stableford competiton to the EWGA trust which helps buy equipment etc. for juniors.  The committee felt that if they did this, they would want to give the proceeds to our own Junior Section.   The other letter was re. the EWGA adoption of the Anti-doping rules.  This letter is on file.

 

Meeting ended 4.15p.m.  -       Next meeting 2nd April at 3p.m.
