Dear Members,
It has just been over a month since being elected to office and taking over the helm from Tony Partridge. What a month it has been, with the weather being warm and sunny, greens running fast and praying for overnight rain.
The playing season is well under way with Men’s, Ladies and Junior Competition’s together with the Mixed Open being played this weekend. Before we know it the Town Bowl and other competitions will be behind us, how time flies.
Both Des Bowen(vice-captain) and myself have been kept very busy interviewing new members, with more to follow. A testament to the hard work made in promoting the club through our open day held recently. Another open day is earmarked for late September.
In October 2010 the Equality Act became law. This affects all golf clubs. A small working group has been set up to look at this and further details can be seen on the notice boards and on the web-site.
Plans are in hand to improve the ladies and gents locker rooms. No firm details are yet available, but once known I will keep you all informed.
Finally, the Captains’ Charity this year is the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance, with events at the end of June and beginning of July. Jan Lloyd and I have been working hard to make these events as successful as ever. All the Charity Events are published in the club diary and we hope as many of you as possible will support us with your generosity. Donations to the Bottle Raffle to be held on the Charity Fun Afternoon (2/7) would be much appreciated.
So far, so good, a brief newsletter, but I do hope that the weeks ahead are kind to us and that all members, both old and new, enjoy their golf at the club, and I would like to re-enforce a comment I made at the AGM. “Leamington is a golf club for members, and not just a place to play golf.” I believe there is a difference.
Phil Halford
Captain
