Immediate Past Captain’s Report The final year of my Captaincy has been very strange and no one could ever have imagined how 2020 would evolve. I send my sincere sympathies to any of you who have been badly affected by Covid 19. The pandemic has hit our lives worldwide. As I intimated in my members email in August 2020 I passed the day to day Captain’s duties to Captain Elect Willie MacKay at the time our AGM was scheduled but couldn’t take place. Our official titles cannot change until we are able to hold an AGM which is in the hands of our Governments in the UK as to when we will be able to have a public gathering. Rob Murray Willie has been very energetic and has been doing a sterling job in the role and I thank him for all he has done and for his patience as he awaits the members official approval. I have pledged my commitment to the Capital Projects Team and look forward to continuing to work towards our goal of a new clubhouse. As you are aware the new Clubhouse design is on the shelf ready for tenders when finances permit us to move forward. The other requirement is the Common Good Land lease which requires a Public Consultation by the Highland Council and was withdrawn in February 2020 due to a technicality. Covid 19 hit us all and the discussions with Highland Council were delayed. I am pleased to advise however that in autumn 2020 we successfully revisited the Public Consultation process and gained the full support of the <strong>Dornoch</strong> Area Community Council, and as I write the Public Consultation recommenced in late December 2020. Assuming the process gains the support of the public, The Highland Council and then final approval of the Sheriff Court we will be in a position to build our new clubhouse when there is more certainty regarding our finances. We are also working on our medium and longer term Vision which involves the clubhouse and other capital projects which is for the benefit of future Councils of Management so they guide our club in the required direction. We are in uncertain times, however I hope 20<strong>21</strong> sees us return to better days again and I look forward to a time when we can hold an AGM and look to a brighter future.
