Hi all,

 

The Castle Golf Club has been booked for our Christmas Party on Friday the 5th December 2025. 

The cost is €45.00, and the preferred method of payment is by bank transfer to the Marley Bridge Club account. IBAN is IE47BOFI90109526203009   BIC is BOFIIE2D.  Please ensure that you identify yourself when making the payment.

Payment must be made by Wednesday the 26th of November as the Golf Club has asked us to confirm numbers 10 days in advance of the party.

Once we confirm numbers with them they will charge for that number so if nearer the time you need to cancel, unfortunately there will be no refund.

If you have any dietary requirements please let me know.

Look forward to seeing everyone there, particularly new members.

Kind regards,

Maria Dunne

Secretary

SLOW PLAY IMPACTS ON ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME
SLOW PLAY IMPACTS ON ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME

Slow play means that some players are slow.  You can call the TD if you feel that your opposition are slow or are delaying completion of a board.  The TD will adjust an averaged score where the replay of the board shows a different outcome was likely.  You can call the TD to the table at any time during play or you can lodge an appeal after play.  There is a 20 minute appeals window after play.
