Insurance Funding

FYI, the club missed out on a grant for our insurance.  This was in the vicinity of $20k.  That is why we have to be very vigilant about what we spend money on.

Green

Ladies Pairs semi-finals are on this Sunday so the green will not be available.

Regards, Greg

Sponsors

We are fortunate to have some excellent sponsors at our club.  You will see their signs around the clubrooms, on the fence, and on the scoreboards.  Please utilise our sponsors as often as you can.  Or at least give them the option to quote you for an item. 

Without sponsors, we would have to pay a lot more for our subs.  Thanks to Ken and Murray for their efforts in approaching sponsors for the club.  If you know of someone who may wish to sponsor, please tell Ken or Murray.
