Happy New Year members.

We have some excellent news.

Late last year we applied to the Kiwi Gaming Foundation for a grant to cover our Material Damage insurance premium of $19,455. We received notification that our application has been approved.
We sincerely thank the Kiwi Gaming Foundation for their generosity.

That grant will free up valuable funds for some of the  capital expenditure projects that have been delayed due to our expenditure in our search for irrigation water.
The Committee will determine the greatest priority projects when we next meet.

On other news, our green fee income which was significantly behind last year for most of December (due to bad weather), has been excellent over the holiday period and we have more than regained that lost ground. The course is in fantastic condition.

It has been a great start to 2026 for the Club.
Best wishes to you all for a fantastic year ahead.

Kind regards
Graham, on behalf of the Committee
