Hi to all,
Just a short note to wish you all a very Merry Xmas and a safe New Year. I hope everyone has enjoyed this year with our club and hope to see you all again next year. It will be our 21st Birthday next year and it has been a blast.

I have seen a lot of members come and go over the years, some through work and leaving the coast, some from injury and some have gone to play this great game in heaven.

RIP. Maurie Newman, Ralph Wood, Trevor Wilson, Shaggy, Ray Parker.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for the great work over the past year and hope it continues next year. A special thank you to Steve Rado our secretary who keeps us informed, Jill, our captain, handicaper, and raffle organizer, Maso our treasurer, and Whitey, our seargent of arms who takes all our money.

Thank you to all our sponsors throughout the year.

A special thank you to, Whitey,Trevor Dunemann, Peter Walton, Barry Saunders, without their sponsorship in the early days we would not be where we are today, again thank you.

Keep safe everyone, see you in the new year. XXXX

GOLD COAST Sept. 14^th, 15^th, 16^th.

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.

After a couple of pick ups the bus will be at the Kawana Waters Hotel at 4pm on Friday 14^th to pick up the majority of us.

We do however need manpower there between 3 &4pm to load Eskys, get ice etc.

SOOOOO , if any of us can do, this it would be much appreciated. “Cold piss well stacked = good trip”

Please bring the cash for the trip on the day to be collected by Maso our Treasurer before boarding the bus. Members $200 (less any credits for raffle attendance and or sponsorship calculated by our club Captain from records of years events). Non members $250. *** still great value for return bus fare, refreshments each way, 2 nights accom. at Mantra Legends, 2 full hot buffet breakfasts and most importantly, 2 games of golf at great courses !.

All is booked and organised. However, stay tuned for any updates.
