September 2024 Newsletter
AGM
After discussion with the committee, the date for the AGM has been changed. The Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday the 14th of November. This will begin at 7pm.
Paperwork for the AGM will be emailed out to all members prior to the meeting. We will not be providing any paper copies this year.
Greenkeeping
All throughout the summer our greenkeepers have been hard at work trying to get the course in the best condition possible while also preparing for the months to come. While many additional challenges came up to try and slow the team down, we believe they have done an exceptional job!
As a part of this, the team have been digging new drainage ditches which you may have seen appearing on the course. We have also been clearing out and repairing the drainage pipes to try and ensure these are fully working for when the bad weather hits.
A massive thank you to our group of volunteers who have assisted with the tremendous amount of work we’ve had to do this summer. We appreciate you giving up your time to help maintain the course allow us to carry out additional work which otherwise would not have happened.
If you have any spare time and would like to volunteer, please let us know as we would happily embrace any assistance you can offer.
Qualifying Scores
As part of a club wide drive regarding handicaps and qualifying rounds, going forward we will be emailing out quarterly the qualifying rounds completed by each member. This will allow members to see where they stand regarding rounds played. As well as being able to see how many more scores they’d need to enter into some of the upcoming competitions.
The first of these emails will be coming in a few weeks’ time.
Greensomes Competition & Cream Tea
Are you aware of our upcoming competition? On Sunday the 29th of September we will be holding a greensomes competition open to members. This is a competition where you’d compete in pairs to get the best stableford score. After the round, you will also be treated to a cream tea by The Kitchen @.
There is an entry fee of £9.00 which also covers the food. Tee times will be allocated from 1pm. If you are interested in entering this with another member, the sign-up sheet is on the counter. Entries close Thursday the 26th of September.
Charity Wreath Making Class
Ann Morris ran a wreath making class for charity last year with all funds raised being donated to Chilworth to support our chosen charity Jane Scarth House. She managed to raise over £400, for which we are very grateful.
This year Ann has kindly offered to do the same again. This will be held at Thornden School on Tuesday the 3rd of December with tickets being £10.00 per person. If you would like to join Ann in making a Christmas wreath, please give her a call on 02380 262342.
