Thanks to the Golf Club committee for continued support of our club, it is a great association we have between both of our clubs of course i welcome our own president and CEO and board of directors and other sub club committee members and to all our great sponsors a big thank you for your generous support this year.
Just some information on our year for 2007
This years comp is the start of our 20th year.
Thank you to those original people that got it off the ground, I would look around and say it is a successful social club saw our group play 568 games; with 2 washed out rounds, this is an average of 56.8 players per month.
Our great volunteers fed a over 1000 people, and cleaned up after us this is a huge achievment for a social group. Over 146 individual players for the year again, juniors have dropped off because of age/sport, but a new batch is waiting to start.
We have been involved with fund raising of over $16,100.00 since 2001, (please see the board for this breakdown) this has gone towards different groups in our local area. We have sponsored the juniors and Gerringong Ladies Golf competitions. Noah’s Ark and Breast Cancer Support Group was our main fund raising activities this year. $1923 between them.
I believe this to be a tremendous response for a small social group and you deserve a pat on the back for it, so thank you all.
The Fishos web site has continued to grow and be very usefull to keep you informed. A big thank you to Andrew McCullough for running it for us.
Our golf trailer is being of great use to our members, off again in February to Merimbula.
Sadly we lost 1 of our members this year after a courageous fight with illness, Jimmy Wall - I’m sure he won’t be forgotten by our group
I would like to thank all the volunteers that make this club run by putting in their time and effort for us Tom, Jen, Carol, Carol, John, Tony, Wazza, Craig, Anthony, Dougie, and the many others that help in the clean up. Our raffle sellers who put their time in every golf weekend raising much needed dollars for us.
And finally thanks to Ann who has finally given up, and joined us in playing golf. She allows me to put a lot of her time into this and the other adventures i get myself into.
