Synopsis of Management Committee Meeting
1. Grant application is being progressed by The Captain & the Course Committee at outline stage and hopefully, moving to design stage shortly.
2. Course:
• Private Buggies: The Gardai have reviewed the CCTV footage & have included the area in their patrolling. A New floodlight has been installed for the buggy area & a new CCTV was installed on Wednesday 11th April at a cost of €1,500. The CCTV footage of the last incident has been put up on Facebook & has had several thousand hits on it. An email has issued to all members.
• Rangers: A Request for volunteers has been put up in Locker Rooms.
• Signage on Course: Some basic signs have been ordered.
3. House: We are continuing to keep the catering under review. Limited bar food is available & a bar menu is in operation.
4. Finance: Because of the bad weather, payments of subs are behind. Expenses are still there & some like insurance are up, so we need to put a push on to collect subs & hopefully, with good weather, have more money coming in from societies, green fees, & competitions.
5. Marketing: A draft report is being refined down to prioritise items to move them to active projects.
6. Social: We had a lovely night last Friday with the Remembrance Service tying in with a traditional music night, and music being enjoyed until late. Plans are in train for another night – hopefully 4th May – & the Social Committee is working on a few other events for the summer.
7. CGI: The proposed date for the EGM was moved to Sunday 29nd April. A new Constitution is being worked on & will be available for members shortly. The Management Committee is anxious to proceed on 29th April, but the draft Constitution is with the Solicitor for clearance.
8. Juniors: Lady President Maeve McCauley is the Designated Liaison Person (DLP) for the Club. Junior Convenor for the girls is Emer McGrath. We have a vacancy for Junior Convenor for the boys. We need some new male volunteers. All volunteers for Junior golf must have Garda vetting & have done Safeguarding course.
