There have been a couple questions,/comments, from some members, which I will address here

1. Roll Up Sign Up Sheets or drawing cards
A couple of members directly asked me to introduce drawing the cards to allocate playing partners for some roll ups. I therefore implemented this system on Tuesday
The feed back I received was all positive, people enjoyed mixing together before teeing off and having the opportunity to play with people they do not normally play with
I therefore proposed to run both systems, alternating between them for the roll ups, until there is a ground swell of opinion one way or any other

2. Why are we teeing off at 8.30.
A number of members, questioned why the greens were not being wiped before out first groups went out. Kevin and I raised this with the club. The best solution was for us to delay the tee time until 8.30, to allow the green staff time to get the first greens prepared.
In addition,the sunrise time continue to be later during November and it will not be suitable to play at 8.00 am, in the near future nor during December, January and February

This has been agreed with the club, so if anyone wants to tee off earlier, they will need to go to reception to book their tee time. If we are running a roll up with the start sorted by drawing cards, anyone teeing prior to the drawing of cards will not be entered into the competitions.

3. Buggies
I know some people are concerned about the Buggies being withdrawn from service for the winter. I spoke with Martin Burbanks regarding this. He advised that because the ground is still relatively hard there are no plans to withdraw the buggies in the near future. There are 2 buggies currently available and another coming back into commission soon.
Apparently buggies will not be bookable, it is a first come first served system. It might make sense for those who need a buggy to play together, if that is the case you can organise yourselves for the Roll Ups and let me know for the sign up matches
At the AGM with Tracy and James from the club, they were advised that in some instances the buggies were not properly prepared, for instances not wiped dry. They have agreed that this was not acceptable and that this would be changed.
Therefore if the buggies are not prepared let me and the club know


4. Suggestions
Ron Deacon came up with a great suggestion, why don't the club have grating on the ground level for the cleaning of the trolleys. Currently when cleaning the trolley you still pick up grass when leaving the area. Ron and I mentioned this to Martin Burbanks who thought it was a good idea. Not sure whether this will lead to a change, but who knows

Anyone else with any ideas let me know
