Beat the green fee increase

It was announced at the club AGM on Friday evening that there will be a small rise in green fee subscriptions next year, amounting on average to approximately 3%. The increase is due to rising costs and the forthcoming increase in VAT from 4 January 2011. However as an incentive for early renewal, any member who pays their 2011 subscription before 31 December will be able to do so at the 2010 rates. Please contact David Norman if you wish to take advantage of this offer.

Winter has arrived - at least for competitions

The draws for the winter singles and doubles matchplay competitions have been made and are posted in the clubhouse. There are five preliminary ties in the singles competitions that are due to be completed this month so please let me know if you are likely to have any difficulty meeting the relevant date.

The winter league starts today and sign in sheets are in the competition folder adjacent to the PSI terminal in the clubhouse. As the winter league is run manually rather than on Club 2000, just put your completed score cards in the box. Handicaps will be amended on a weekly basis after close of play every Saturday. The sweep and 2's competition are optional and run all week (from Sunday to Saturday).
