Notice of Annual General Meeting 2020

As you are aware the Club’s 2020 Annual General Meeting has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on member gatherings.    We recognize the past few months have been difficult for all and on behalf of the Board I would like to thank you all for patience your continued support of the Club.

I am pleased to advise that the 2020 AGM will be held Monday 31st August at 6:00pm, both by attendance at the Clubhouse and virtually via Zoom.

Please find below the link to the Notice of the Annual General Meeting, 2019 Annual Report and Notice of Elections.

In recognising the challenges of attending the AGM due to COVID-19 and the more recent border closures, members will have the ability to vote via pre-poll or electronically for the first time.

Pre-poll and electronic voting will commence on Tuesday 25th August at 10.00am and conclude on Friday 28th August 2020 at 5:00pm. Detailed communication on how to use these facilities will follow over coming days.

An important agenda items of the AGM is the approval of the Annual Subscriptions for the 2020 – 2021 period. When reviewing the Annual Subscriptions, the Board has taken into account the challenges many members faced in playing golf during the pandemic whilst balancing the financial needs of the Club. The Board believes the increase which equates to 50 cents a week for full membership is very reasonable and still represents fantastic value compared to our market competitors*, both in price and the quality of our course.

Please see below for the detailed AGM timetable.

Monday 3rd August:   Nominations open for the Board (5), President and Vice President

Monday 24th August at 5:00pm:  Closure of nominations for Board positions

Monday 24th August at 5:00pm:  Ballot drawn for pre-poll voting for vacant positions.
