Club Shirts & and the Grass Green

Club Shirts: The initial order for club shirts has now been placed. Invoices will be mailed out shortly and the due date for payment is 23 April 2008. Payment details will be on your invoice. Delivery is currently scheduled for the week AFTER the AGM. I'm currently trying to see if there is any chance of getting them for the AGM. Stay tuned.

Grass Green: Today the President, Secretary and Greens Director met with a consultant greenkeeper to ascertain the current condition of the green and to find out what alternatives were available to us as a club.

We were very encouraged by the discussions and will begin works on a renovation/rejuvenation programme shortly. More details will be posted once the programme becomes available.

3rd Side - ESRA runners-up

From the President:

My heartiest congratulations to our 3rd side who played in the Roamers Competition Grand Final. After a fabulous game and a nailbiting finish, they went down to Bayswater by just 2 shots. It was a brilliant comeback as they trailed by 13 shots at the tea break. To see the commitment of our players as they focussed on getting back into the game was a delight to the many supporters who came along to barrack. In fact we had 27 members & family so our cheer squad was massive.

I really want to thank our players for the spirit & competitiveness they took into the game. Even though they did not pick up the Premier's flag, they were winners in my eyes and represented our club with pride and passion. We are so proud of your efforts.

Congratulations to ALL who played with the side over the season.
