Just a quick hello and update on a few things. I trust that you are all safe & sound in your bubbles? I'm enjoying the daily Les Mills classes on TV1, walks or cycle rides around the block and watching far too much TV! I'm not enjoying having to cook dinner every night and seeing my grandchildren over the fence and not being able to hug them or pat their dog :( I am still doing a wee bit of work from home - keeping a watchful eye on the club finances, fielding emails and wondering how you are all coping without your golf! Please keep in touch with your golf mates by phone as some of them may be in a single bubble and getting a bit lonely. AGM You will be aware that our AGM was scheduled for 29 April. As we are not sure if we will be able to hold the AGM on this date, we have deferred until this can be confirmed. The existing Board will be retained until then. Also, our annual Financial Statements have been completed, but our auditors are currently unable to sign them off due to financial uncertainties relating to Covid-19. Once these issues are resolved, I will update you further. ON COURSE NZ Golf have been working hard to obtain approval from MBIE for Turf Maintenance to be considered an essential service. This has not been approved, so at the moment, no work has been done on the course since the lockdown. Our Course Superintendent, Chris Posa, had taken precautionary measures pre lockdown, applying growth regulator & fungicide. Once we know a date that work can commence again, The Board and Chris will need to consider a recovery plan. In the meantime, we are all staying home, staying safe and trying not to worry about something that we have no control over. Stay Safe and Be Kind Warm Regards Michelle Towersey Club Manager |
