Secretary’s Report: 

White tees proposal. The sec outlined a proposal that would give players an optional tee to play from during White tee competitions with an obvious reduction in strokes received as this is now provisioned within the WHS. After discussion there was some concern that some members may see this as somewhat elitist by creating a split within the Seniors Section. The committee agreed to discuss and inform the members with the possibility of a trial and further consideration at the next AGM.

Birch Ward Trophy. (Charity Event) Planned for Thursday 11^th June 2024

Plans to expand this event have been discussed for 2 years now and all the committee have decided that support for the expansion of this event have not been sufficiently received by other parties whom we had hoped would offer more support. The committee have therefore decided to shelve the expansion indefinitely and to remove this item from further meeting agenda.

Decision. Sec to remove Item 7 from future agenda

Any Other Business.

1. The Lady Vets Captain has asked that this game be reinstated after last years Seniors/Greensomes game was postponed as the ladies could not get a team together. The committee have agreed that the match will take place on the 20^th June 2024.

2. After playing a comp with Tony Hart he informed the Sec that he had paid his subscription for last year and had then not been contacted by the Senior Section. It has been decided to invite Tony to join us this year at no further cost as this was committee oversight.
