Minutes of Monthly Seniors Meeting

16th September 2019

 

Present:         Patrick McDonough, Steve Duty, Stuart Murry, David Dandie, Keith Hepworth, Dave Clark, David Costin, Malcolm Voce, Brian Bailey

Apologies:      Mike Jefferies

Minutes of previous meeting:

  1. Minutes accepted as a true record

Matters arising from minutes:

  1. Christine West has been suggested as the Treasurer, which has been accepted. Need to arrange a meeting with Mike Jefferies to hand over the records.
  2. We can accept anyone to a position within the Seniors’ committee, doesn’t have to be a man only.
  3. We need a club member as Treasurer, as the main club is ultimately responsible for our monies.
  4. Club abuse – his attitude is improving, he is controlling himself better and Amos has been spoken to on this matter.
  5. Standardised meals for forthcoming meals for matches against other clubs – burger and chips (but no egg) and salad plus a bacon cob and coffee in the morning.

 

Finance Report:

  1. There was nothing to report at this time.
  2. We need to ask Mike to hand over a resume of accounts rather than always having ‘nothing to report’.

Monday Club report:

  1. Members are booking on-line and also in person and we are getting duplicate bookings, as happened on the 16th Committee has now pre-booked times from 0700 to 0936. This is from the beginning of October.
  2. Members pre-book their preferred times with the organisers the week in advance.
  3. Committee needs to talk about the Christmas Monday Club – meal, prizes, raffle tickets.

Competitions:

  1. Mick Duffy has won the Single’s Competition this year.
  2. Phil Rankin has agreed to run the Winter Aggregate this year again.
  3. A free meal to be offered when the Winter’s Pairs competition is drawn.
  4. A suggestion to move the playing season from April to September to May to October.
  5. At the moment the Winter Aggregate is the best of 3 out of 5. The new suggestion is to have it the best of 4 from 6. The free meal will now be in April rather than March.

Prizes:

  1. Names are being entered in the schedule.
  2. Presentation evening is on the 26th
  3. Monday Club Christmas dinner is in the 16th

AOB:

  1. Coxmoor GC is a strong possibility for next year. Burleigh GC – awaiting dates to be confirmed.
  2. Sleeper planks across the ditch on the 6th hole was mentioned. It has been proposed to the main club.
  3. Welton GC – do we want to continue playing with them? The usual reasons have been given. Might need to check after next year.
  4. Slow play – Stapleford matches should take a max of 4½ hours. Medal matches should take a max of 4¾ hours. A way of monitoring this is checking the start time and the check-in time on the computer when entering the scores. We need to gather information before warning and penalising players.
  5. Teresa mentioned we have new (senior?) members join Ramsdale for a year and then leave after a year. Reason – the Seniors are not forthcoming and welcoming. We need to get the new members to join the Thursday Fuddle, maybe the pick-up Friday Club. We also need to know that there are new members to welcome.
