Issue # No 8 2007
How pleasing to see full greens last Sunday for the men and women’s singles. Thanks to all who marked and helped around the greens and clubhouse. It is much appreciated when members help to put out mats, boards etc and put them away at the end of the day. Have you ever helped do this, or ever wondered who gets everything ready for your game? It’s fellow club members. Please support your club by helping with these little things from time to time.
Hospice
Planning is underway for this very worthy tournament which will be held next March. Laurie Izod has kindly offered to organise and co-ordinate Hospice this season, and if you can provide any assistance, ideas, prizes, sponsorship etc please contact him.
Carpet Court
The sign up sheet for this popular event is on the notice board and filling quickly. Have you got your pairs team in yet?
Photo Copier
The committee have recently purchased a new (used) copier which is in excellent condition. I will advise you shortly of the cost per copy if you wish to use the copier for personal use.

Match Convenor’s report
Over 65’s
This season we have made a lot of changes with the objective to make the club an interesting place to visit and play at. When the club program and handbook were done we thought we had covered most contingencies but alas we were wrong and as a result we have had to make some alterations to the published program. An event that has been forgotten by me but thankfully not by some members is the over 65 any gender club championship pairs scheduled to start Dec 5th. Because of my lapse and no entry form on the notice board we have deferred the start of this event until next Wednesday Dec 12th. Two rounds of pairs will be played of 21 ends starting at 10-30am. The afternoon game result will count towards the aggregate. Entries will close on Monday 10th at 5pm.The third round of section play will start at 10-30am on Wednesday the 19th and the first round of post section will commence pm that day. Further post section will be played commencing 30th January.
Aggregate
Aggregate results are posted on the notice boards by Dave Smith and you should all be aware that the prize to the top man and women will be presented on the 22nd December at the end of play. The winners will be the man and women with the highest points as at 5pm on Wednesday 19th.
Points day event.
The last round for the Xmas prize will be one of the games played during our in house event on Saturday 22nd Dec. The prize will be presented at the completion of play with all other prizes.
Xmas Special Dec 22nd
After 4 rounds of singles this coming Sunday the ladies will be down to the final. The men may be completed or also down to the final. My idea for this day (Dec 22) is to play the final of the singles at 9-30am followed by a subway lunch at approx 11-45am, followed by 3 rounds of drawn pairs ,triples or fours depending on entries starting at 12-30pm.Play should be completed by 5-15pm followed by the hard luck stories and then dinner at approx 6-15pm.During the hard luck period prizes can be presented
WHAT COST FOR A GREAT DAY?
Members can participate in all or part and again my suggestion is LUNCH $3, BOWLS $2, DINNER $12. Lunch will be Subway, Dinner is Ham or Chicken with a small sweet. A form will be on the notice board by Friday and you are asked to tick the appropriate squares. Should you wish to bring a guest please enter their name separately and tick the squares concerned.
Sunday 23rd Dec the finals of the Ladies club fours will be held with the semi final starting at 9-30.
This Saturday is Finals day for Interclub.
Our club is hosting the finals of six of the eight grades played and our teams could be involved in at least four of them .What a day it could be for our club and I hope many of our members will be there to support our teams .So if you haven’t played or have been one of the also rans, then try to be there in support of our fellow members. At Takaro and Johnston Park on Saturday morning our two division two teams men and ladies will be trying to win their grades so pop along there in the morning. Ladies at Takaro, men at Johnston Park.

Note from Mike Hearsey
It would be appreciated if members who took glasses and mugs out onto the green would return them to the appropriate place. Some mats and jacks are also being left out. Finally I know some of the changes we have made have upset some of you but they have been made with the best interest of the members in mind and I would appreciate hearing from you rather than getting the message second hand. That way we may be able to solve any problems or misunderstandings.
