Last Tuesday Meeting

It was decided that we would recognise Past Club Champions on the night, I can only urge members to contact past members to come along.

We have a guest list of 16 people. Mark Bamford from Golf Australia has accepted our invitation.

We are going to use local media, radio and TV to promote our centennial.

Of course social media we play a huge part.

The ladies are planning decorations for the tables and pavilion.

I am urging male members of the Club to put up their hands to support work to be done in the lead up to the dinner.

Yesterday I spoke to Hugh Price who is a nephew of Marg Sharp (Life Member).

He is so enthused with the centennial celebrations, he is coming with three and also making a donation towards the night. I have been chasing photos of our life members as I am putting together a movie of our 100 years to be shown on the night.

Does anyone you have a contact for the families of Jim Disher, Ian O’May, Charlie Heather?

Publicity of our centennial is so important in promoting our Club. Great half page story in this weeks Myrtleford Times and with this bulletin, is the link to the Fairways magazine, produced by the Border Mail. Thanks to Andrew and Jan Roseby for putting the story together.
