Matters Arising

There were no matters arising.

GC021503

Correspondence

A request had been received with regard to whether it would be possible to start competitions on a Saturday in the winter on the 10th tee due to the sun being a problem on the 1st tee. Following discussion, this was agreed.

GC021504

Treasurer’s Report

A copy of the Accounts was tabled to the Committee for information.

With regard to the competition entry fees, Dave had been given invoices of £30 for the scratch league for next year and Matt £120 for the club foursomes for 2015.

Dave was unsure what the situation was with regard to last year’s club foursomes. A further competition had been paid for the previous year, which had cost £80 and we had not received an invoice for this year.

There had been no invoices for the Junior League and funds currently stood at £1900.

Frank requested approval of the accounts, from the Committee, and this was agreed. Frank also reported that M Cox had agreed to remain as Auditor.

Competitions Committee Report

Neil reported that competitions were progressing nicely. Some scorers were needed for the 14th March competition and both the Chairman and Spiros agreed to do this.

It was agreed that the Summer Pairs Knock-Out Draw would take place on the Captains’ Drive-In and a notice would be put up to this effect.

GC021506

Handicap Secretary

Glenda confirmed that the review letters had now been sent out to the relevant people.

It was agreed that Emily would be entered again for the County Junior Trophy, which she had been entered into last year.

Both Glenda and JW would be attending the handicap meeting in Newark.

GC021507

Proprietor’s Report

Dave had not, as yet, received a letter with regard to the Handicap Review.

Dave went on to say that new green keeping equipment had been sourced and demonstrations were awaited – possibly after April. PHGC would be one of the first Clubs to have this equipment if we go ahead.

Dave gave his thanks to the Green Staff for the great shape of the course at the present time and the rest of the Committee endorsed this.

GC021508

Green Keepers Report

In the absence of any of the Green Keepers, JW said that the course was looking excellent and that he had spoken to Tipper and Dave with regard to the 13th green and he has been assured that this will recover once we have some growth and that it had been a slow recovery from the first part of the Winter.

GC021509

LRGU

Nothing to report at this time.

GC021510

Juniors Report

JW would be discussing with Geoff how to move things forward. Stuart Thorpe, John Dowd and other parents want to help with coaching on a Sunday rather than a Tuesday evening.

The County had re-arranged the divisions in the league resulting in two extra away matches to be arranged.

GC021511

Seniors Report

· There had been a good turn-out at the funeral of Ian Gibson.

· Some of the seniors had helped with the clearing out of the ditch on the 13th which now looked most impressive and improved.

GC021512

Social Report

Both the Drive-In and change over dinner dance were now in order.

Presentation Night: trophies would be cleaned on Tuesday 24th February and put back in the trophy cabinet after the presentation night.

GC021513

A.O.B

· AGM – JW requested that the reports from the Seniors Captain, Team Captains and Juniors should be given to the Club Captains to prepare a summary report to be given by them on the night.

· Re-Election - Frank Tyler, Glenda Yeldham, Lee Brown, Rod Bint and Tak Wan were all due following two years’ service on the Committee. JW would arrange for the nomination sheets to be put up.

· Wi-Fi Password - Dave confirmed that this was available for members from the bar.

· CFS Sheets - Glenda would try to put these all together to make it easier to see the winners for the handicap review.
