               9.     REPORT FROM GREENS & GROUNDS COMMITTEE: There have been questions posted in the book as to why we are not using the proper Tees while the weather is dry – the reason is to divert the wear away from the tee area and rest the tees so the grass can grow.  A headstone has been placed by the memorial tree on the 3rd.  This has been done without permission and the manager has written to ask for it to be removed.  During the freezing weather the greenstaff have been busy cleaning and varnishing T markers and benches.   Dave is concerned that since the ground is frozen to a depth of 8”, when the frost starts to come out, after 2 “ anyone walking on it will cause movement underneath which will tear the grass roots, so it might be necessary to close for a day or two.    He is hoping, if the need arises, to cut temporary greens to protect the greens.

                        The holes have now been named – 1 – 18 in order- Duckworths Way, Ramblers. Kingfisher Dive, Mallards Landing, Little Oak, Church Walk, Tall Pines, Thrushes Bank, Dew Pond, Wilders Dream, Orchid Corner, White Horse, Lodge Gate, Temple Approach, High Bank, Turnpike Climb, Punchbowl and Churchill’s Copse.  The last being named after Dave Robert’s spaniel who was so much part of the scene and had, unfortunately, to be put down at the beginning of December.

 

            10       GENERAL COMMITTEE: The Christmas Dinner had to be cancelled due to lack of support.  It is being included in the 2009 Fixture List and will be open to all and called the Club Christmas Dinner.   Ian Ridsdale has taken over the running of all the winter Competitions and will be taking the entries for the Club Summer KOs.   The 2009 Fixture list should be available within the next two weeks.  The Juniors are having a fixture list this year, centred round the school holidays, so that they can all participate.   Due to the shortage of a cabinet for the Seniors Cups, the matter is being looked in to whether to purchase one or have one made and put under the television.  There is a vacancy for a member on the General Committee. 

 

11      COUNTY MATTERS: Connie brought back the new EWGA medal rules etc.   There is a move to raise money for the continued support for the Juniors and the need to provide uniforms etc.  Saltford is holding a money raising day and other clubs are being encouraged to do the same.

 

12     ANY OTHER BUSINESS:  Jackie reported on the situation with the sweatshirts.  12 have been ordered and have been paid for by Jackie and Janith, but will be sold through the shop.  It is hoped they will appeal to all members so more can be ordered and perhaps a larger range of colours made available.     Anne is starting to do a new Committee picture board.  The collection was discussed for Valeria’s birthday party.  It will all be spent on presents.    Draw night will be Tuesday 24th March at 7p.m. with a Bring and Buy sale afterwards.

 

Meeting Closed 2.30p.m.

 

Next Meeting will be Thursday 5th February and will start at 2.30p.m. with all Lady Officials being invited to attend prior to the Committee meeting at 3.p.m.
