September Newsletter
GOLD COAST Sept. 14th, 15th, 16th.
Another one done and dusted.
A great weekend with all things good coming together this time – no fatalities,no injuries
(apart from sore heads) and no AWOLs or detainees .
A huge thanks and acknowledgment to the following for their contribution in making the weekend possible, enjoyable and successful :-
SPONSORSHIP :- Mr. XXXX, PETER WALTON – for the great prize pool for
games and the contribution of refreshments for the bus trip. Most
gracious of him to do so in view of his inability to attend.
:- Mick Delahunty (KissCars) -- his voluntary contribution of
golf gloves and KissCars golf balls provided a further prize depth.
TRANSPORT :- Mr. Tim Lattey, Coach Captain -- who consistently provides that
point of difference which makes the trip an integral part of the
weekend, not just transport.
ACCOMMODATION :- I hope everyone was happy with Mantra Legends. The
breakfast (hot this year) provided a good start each day. $80 pp
per day incl breakfast was as good as we could get within that
central location.
GOLF :- Club President Lynne Wroe found it challenging to find courses
which would accommodate our group with a good deal. Thanks
Lynne, the Glades and the Pines were great.
:- Club Captain Rob Inskip took care of teams and format and as
always over viewed the whole weekend and presented daily prizes
with Lynne.
FINANCES :- Club Treasurer David Mason handled the money side of things with
due diligence even under duress. ( The Pines Maso?)
Finally a big thanks to the tour members that assisted with icing and loading of the refreshments each day, loading and unloading luggage and golf clubs,and the clean up job on the bus after golf on day one. Thanks Lynne and Greer for the mop job.
Proof of “group effort = great tour” - thanks to all.

Many thanks for the balls -- “thank God for Clancy” was heard on many occassions around the water holes.
