Annual General Meeting<br />
As highlighted previously the AGM has been postponed until Friday 15th<br />
October.<br />
This is the start of the Captain’s Weekend which is a 3 day member<br />
only event and so hopefully this change will encourage many of you to<br />
participate in that as well as attend the AGM. The entry form is in the<br />
Annual Report which was emailed to you but you can also download the<br />
report here and the entry form here.<br />

Don’t forget that whenever you are out and about, whether playing or just<br />
having a walk, and you see a different plant or flower, some insects, birds<br />
or wildlife take a picture and send it to me with permission to use it. If you<br />
don’t have your phone or camera just drop me an email with what you<br />
saw and where it was.<br />
This information gathering will be added to our portfolio for our next<br />
inspection and help the GEO understand the difference our efforts have<br />
made.<br />
All our greenstaff are trained to do this as well so between us all we will<br />
be able to provide as wide a range of information as possible.<br />
Speed of Play - Etiquette<br />
Whether you wish to play quickly, or take your time to smell (and<br />
photograph) the flowers, it is not a problem as the game is for you to<br />
enjoy at your own speed.<br />
While we are doing that we should also be aware of others on the course<br />
and our relative position to them.<br />
Letting faster groups through is not a sign that we are poor golfers or they<br />
have any superiority over us, instead it shows good manners and golfing<br />
etiquette which will help both groups enjoy their game.<br />
Please be aware of where you are and let faster groups past, whoever<br />
they may be.<br />
