General Business:
George Vanner queried what other clubs pay at their vets days it ranged between $4 and $10
It was pointed out to George Vanner that this is not a Waikato ruling and that it was up to the Clubs
what they charge.
Bill Phillips said the 19th October 1 dayer was a good day and was wondering why Te Awamutu
decided to arrive on the 20th by bus and pay $20 for around of golf were as they could have paid $10 on the 19th.
George Vanners explaination was that it was their vet day on the 20th at Te Awamutu and as coring was happpening. they decided to go to Waitomo. You would of thought that a fellow club would arrange for the fellow vet members to go on the Vet Programme date.
Ralph Adams raised that all clubs put their thinking caps on as we will require a new secretary next
year at this stage no volunteers
David Williams requires all the convenors in his Zone to stay for a while to sort out Zone1 dates
