15. Rule 1 – Update to how juniors progress
through to being a Championship Course
member.
To help clarify the process and provide a stepping
stone process so that juniors gain the relevant
knowledge and ability to cope with the
Championship Course an extra step has been
added to give access to the Championship Course
for Junior Struie members at certain times of the
year at the direction of the Junior Committee.
The Council of Management would then alter
Regulation 5 to provide the detail of the how this
would be administered.
Resolution
In Rule 1 (c)
Delete – A Junior Section Member when they
attain a CoNGU handicap will become a Junior
Struie Member. Depending on further
improvements the Council may at a later date
approve the individual be upgraded to Junior
Championship Membership.
Insert – A Junior Section Member when they
attain a WHS Index will become a Junior Struie
Member. Depending on further improvements the
Council may at a later date approve the individual
be upgraded to Junior Struie Member with
Championship Playing Rights. With further
improvements they will be considered for Junior
Championship Membership.
Approved by a show of hands.

further approval by Members in the event that
actual values of expenditure or borrowings
exceeded the amounts already approved. Therefore
in order to address these issues the following
amendments to Rules 16(f)and 16(g) are proposed:
Resolution

In line 7 before “value“ insert “specified“ and after
“value“ insert “or estimated maximum value“. As
shown in RED below.
(f) The Council shall have the power to invest
funds of the Club, up to £500,000 in any one
financial year, in commissioning the building of,
or the purchase or leasing of, any asset, or group
of assets, including heritable or leasehold property,
or after taking appropriate professional advice in
or upon the bonds, debentures or guaranteed,
preferred, ordinary, deferred or common stock or
share of any company, corporation or other body
whatsoever whether registered or incorporated in
the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Where the
Council decides to invest in the foregoing to a
specified value or estimated maximum value that
