Winter Newsletter 2022 FINAL for WEB

Sadly, earlier this month Sue Robb decided to
resign to spend more time with her family. We
wish her well and appreciate the journey forward
she has helped us to achieve in the F&B at the
club. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
Sue for all the efforts she has made on behalf of
the club and I for one will miss her professional
contribution.
As I stated in my previous year’s report that it
would be my last, I stepped down from the role at
the end of October 2021. Gordon Davies has
picked up the baton and I wish him well and
promise my full support. I look forward under his
leadership to see the reductions of Covid
restrictions, return of being able to eat out at the
club in the evenings, as well as during the day with
a full and varied menu at the 4 Star standard we
provided previously. I know he and the Council of
Management are determined through a
recruitment drive to reinstate the necessary staffing
level of the department to achieve these standards
for the members and visitors within Royal
Dornoch. It is hoped to have new staff appointed
in January 2022 to ensure they are settled in for
the new season.
For those who know me well, I especially look
forward to eating my first hot sausage roll at the
HWH in preparation for scoring 35 in the inward
9 holes. I hope the hot sausage roll will be the
driving force to achieving 35 on the back 9,
because it hasn’t happened yet, however it may
take some time to ensure all is in place to achieve
this.
Thanks for your support.
