Busy week at the club behind the scenes Tony Close is in the final stages of the decoration in the Clubhouse. The Rolston Bar and Hall/Stairs area have been completed this week and are looking great. Carpet cleaning has been carried out in these two areas yesterday, will be good to see the result. I'm sure you are all looking forward to enjoying the benefits of the upated surroundings, oh and a pint or two probably as well! I will send some update pictures next week. On Monday we had our bi-annual visit from Chris Barraclough, our Health and Safety advisor. Many thanks once again to Chris for coming over. A socially distanced course walk took place with previous areas of discussion and new points raised. Catch up with Emma Hanson and myself followed checking on paperwork and updating us on new legislation and any other helpful tips picked up after visits to other clubs, and details of issues across the industry. Chris attended as business that can't be done from home is still able to be carried out with all Covid guidelines adhered to. Whether we love or hate health and safety it is still a major project in every business that is in place open or closed. Monday evening saw a zoom meeting for the golf committee. Rich now chairs this committee in his capacity as PGA Professional and is joined by Gents Captain; Tom, Ladies Captain; Jan, Seniors Captain; Mel, Ladies Competition Secretary; Wendy, and elected committee members; Steve Millar, Adrian Bird and Chris Wilson. The golf committee discusses - you guessed it all things golf - so rules, handicaps, competition and events, juniors. This months hot topics - tee times and ropes around the course - both subjects you will hear more about in the coming weeks. Then Tuesday evening we had a zoom Board meeting. Again for those that may be aren't aware the Board of Directors have been meeting every month as usual but on zoom - a bit like the rest of the world. Who knew zoom would be the word of 2020! Our elected Directors are made up of Chair, Keith Marshall and Adrian Bird, Dave Blanchard, Tom Greaves, Christine Gregory, Ross Meggison, Darrell Slingsby, Richard Suddards and Patsy Yeates. Also attending myself and Rich. Always plenty to discuss including; greens, finance, house, marketing, personnel etc. etc. Directors bring back recommendations from each committee for each area of the club to further aid all the Directors in making informed decisions on all matters. Coming up over the next week we have meetings scheduled for finance and greens. |
