Please book yourself in online (there is a separate section) if you are staying for the BBQ on Saturday 27th. If you're unable to do this there is a booking sheet on the noticeboard at the club. If you have a partner joining us after play please advise Carolyn by phone or email aitnek@bigpond.com 

Some members may have noticed that, breaking with tradition, the teams events - the Briscoe Shield and the Peg Webb will be held simultaneously on Tuesday May 7th. As the club's allocation of red points was reduced this year, it was deemed necessary to combine some sessions to enable the even distribution of red points. The decision was made to allocate these competitions to various days of the week to ensure all players have the opportunity to attend some of the events.

Saturday 27th April sees the return of our very successful Pro/Am event. As usual, players enter as individuals and will be paired with a playing partner. Following play we will be providing a Sausage Sizzle (BYO wine & beer). Should you wish to have your partner or a friend join us after play they are welcome at a cost of $5 per person. Please advise if you have a guest attending.

Saturday 27th April - Pro/Am (see details below)

Tuesday 7th May - Briscoe Teams (Open)/Peg Webb Teams (Inter)

Saturday 18th May - Country Teams qualifying 2/2 

Friday 31st May - Australia wide Novice Pairs

Following on from our Saturday morning lessons which conclude at the end of April, we will be offering our new players supervised sessions of play. Anyone who is able to help from 10.00 - 12.00 on any Saturday during May & June, please add your name to the list on the noticeboard. Should you have any questions as to procedure, please speak to Narelle.

As cold and 'flu season is nearing again,
 a range of viruses will continue to appear in the community.
We ask all members to be aware of any symptoms - especially coughing and sneezing.

Given that we would all like to remain well and, bearing in mind the age
and compromised health of some players, it is only courteous that you refrain
from visiting the club if you are at all unwell.
