November 2023 Web Notes
Condolences were extended to the family and friends of Michael Quinn, past Officer and Trustee and Jo Clarke, past member, on their recent deaths.
A meeting was held recently with three representatives from the Women’s, Men’s and Junior Committees as well as the Chairperson of the Junior Committee. The purpose of this was to discuss the email received from the Golf Ireland, to get input from the three committees and get a better understanding of each other’s points of view and any concerns they may have. A report will then be sent to the CoM. The present Junior Committee are happy with the criteria in place for both girls and boys to play in adult competitions and are not looking to make any changes. They are happy with how the Junior season went and plan to enter more interclub competitions next year.

The bad weather has continued to disrupt the league competitions. We have heard that some ladies think the Winter and Spring leagues have run their course while others think they are still relevant. A suggestion was made to run a survey asking for opinions on the leagues. This will probably happen in the new year.
It was pointed out that the kitchen is closed on Tuesdays (for a weekly deep clean) and we may be losing potential green fees for this reason. The matter will be raised at the CoM meeting.
The Annual Handicap Review will be done on Tuesday, 14th November.
€7,600 was raised from the Race Night. All who attended had a great time.
The Children’s Christmas Party will take place on Saturday, 16th December.
Christmas decorations will need to be put up soon. It would be great to have some men involved also and to do them when the Maintenance man is working.
The Women’s Christmas Dinner is on Friday, 8th December. The cost is €22 for a 2 course meal –Turkey & Ham /vegetarian option and Christmas Pudding for dessert. The Chef will be asked to provide a second option for dessert. The price may then increase. The Committee will provide a DJ on the night. Christmas outfits will be requested but are not mandatory. Women must book and pay behind the bar.
