Dear Members,
On Tuesday 21st June 2022 the 95th Annual General Meeting was held.
I am pleased to announce the following directors were appointed;
Vice President – Rob Caldwell
Club Captain – Mick Logan
Director – Patricia Jackson
Director – Adam Young
We would like to thank out-going directors;
Di Ratcliffe: has stood down from the position of Vice President after four years on the Board. Di has been actively involved in a very successful period for the Club servicing not only as Vice President but as a member of the Finance Committee, Disciplinary Committee, Chair of the COVID Committee and the liaison officer for the Ladies Committee. Di’s leadership and input through the various committees will be missed, but the Club certainly thanks Di for the last four years of service.
John Nichols: John has stood down after 8 years on the Board, four years as a Director and the last four years as Club Captain. John worked tirelessly for the Club and Members, often spending seven days a week at the Club. John also played a prominent role for the Club in the implementation of the COVID Regulations, implementing the various changes to golf under the NSW Health COVID Regulations to enable our members to continue play as much as the regulations would allow. It was a tremendous amount of work and with the continuous changes John was required to make wholesale changes at times on a daily basis. John served at times on many of the Clubs Committee’s including being Chairman of the Match Committee and the Junior Program, serving on the Disciplinary Committee, Fog Committee, Greens Committee and was the Volunteer Co-ordinator for the successful NSW Ladies Open held by the Club in 2018. John was always the first person to raise his hand in support of the Club and will be missed by the Board.
Don Kaiser: Don has served on the Board for the last two years as a Director of the Club and has also served as Treasurer for the Mid North Coast Veteran Golfers Association for 9 years. Don was Chairman of the WHS Committee and with his technical background provided significant guidance to the club during the COVID processes. He has provided great input to the Board and his balanced and considered approach will also be missed by the Board.
Thank you again Di, John and Don.
