SOUTHERN - Monday 13 November 2023

 

The day began early with registrations commencing at 7:15am - a big thank you to our members who lined up early and helped us get the event on its way. The course was in magnificent condition; the many high scores would validate that. Again, the weather gods smiled upon our 89 players and there was no rain and plenty of sunshine. The Pro Shop staff were kept busy sorting out the cards and winner results. 

The dining room tables were decorated in a Christmas theme and we enjoyed a very tasty lunch of marinated chicken/roasted root vegetables and Christmas pudding. A gold star on your bonbon meant you were the lucky winner of a bottle of Christmas cheer. 

Members were presented with a drinks card on arrival; these were redeemed at the bar at no charge with compliments of SWGAV. Draws for 3 golf towels which were donated by Beverley's daughter, Meryl, followed before the AGM commenced.

The two amendments to the SWGAV Constitution [s2(b) and s9] put forward by the Committee were approved unanimously by the members.

The new Committee for 2024 were inducted and presented with their badges by Beverley Mannix (Life member).
