Interclub Entries - Reminder

Entries for this year have to be in to the Centre by 22nd September for both Ladies and Men.

Well entries are coming in but we're now at the end of August and there are still a lot of playing members that haven't submitted their preferences for Interclub availability. We unfortunately have to make the cut-off date as 18th September, so please take action on this.

Forms are available in the Clubrooms and online entries are now available by clicking on this link here.

You will also see on our Homepage another link to online entries for Interclub.

Sponsor Opportunities

Members are reminded that we are always looking for sponsorship to our Club. A couple of those examples for annual sponsorship are:

  • Scoreboard = $100 + GST
  • Signage = $250 + GST (signs around the green)

Please take any opportunity you can to raise this amongst your friends or business associates, we welcome a call to discuss.
