CAPTAIN’S
NEWSLETTER
JANUARY 2010
An unfortunate end to 2009 and the
start of 2010 has seen the course closed for long periods on a number
of occasions and this has caused frustration to the members.
Please remember that decisions on
closure or otherwise are difficult at the best of times and sometimes
have to be made at short notice.
Rest assured that these decisions
are made in the best interests of the members either through health
and safety or course preservation requirements.
YOUR PATIENCE IS REQUESTED and I
hope that we return to normality very soon.
SOCIAL
The raffle of
the Cadbury’s hamper donated by Bob Walsh raised a staggering £235
for the Joint Captains’ Charities. Thanks to all who
participated, and once again to Bob for his kind donation.
The next
function will be a Valentine’s Evening to be held on Saturday 13th February.
This will include a 3-course meal, gift for the ladies and
entertainment by Melody J. Please book your tickets early.
Don’t
forget the Whist Drives organised by Truda and advertised in the Clubhouse.
Come along and give it a try!
Let’s
have lots of support for the raffle for a personal parking spot for
twelve months commencing after the AGM in April. I will also
erect a nameplate at the parking spot for the lucky winner.
Atherstone
Golf Club’s Annual Dinner Dance will be held on Saturday 13th March
in Atherstone Memorial Hall. Full details will be circulated shortly.
GENERAL
I am sure all
members will join me in wishing our President Paul Matthews a speedy
return to health, and also best wishes to his brother John after his
nasty accident on the course.
Just a
reminder to all that subscription time is fast approaching and that
the prompt collection of subs will be at the top of the agenda this year.
Again anyone
interested in committee or general assistance please make their
interest known.
Best wishes
to you all for a happy, healthy and successful New Year from myself
and Carole, Truda and Maurice.
