Wake up! Wake up! 2020 is now well and truly ripening...
Just a reminder that we are most definitely counting down to the first Event of the 2020 Season at Leasowe now!
The date of that first knock at Leasowe, March 29th, is just over 6 weeks away, but more importantly, the deadline for payment and confirmation of attendance, Sunday 15th March 2020, is just 4 weeks away!
Please remember that it is really important to sort final numbers out for each Event by the deadline date, in order to advise numbers to the club in question.
Hope to see a good strong turnout for the first one and set the precedent for a well attended Season ahead.
Get yourself down to the Driving Range if, like your lazy Captain for 2020, Mr. Dennis (pictured here after sinking the winning putt at the 1965 Open held in Victoria Gardens, West Kirby) you don't play in the Winter and get that swing loosened up!
As agreed at the AGM fellahs, we will be having a separate Captain's Golf Day in 2020.
The date for your diary is Sunday 4th October 2020 at the Wirral Golf Club, 93 Bidston Rd, Birkenhead, Prenton CH43 6TS.
We'll have the usual coffee and bacon roll at 10.00 a.m., with the first tee at 11.00 a.m.
The cost for this Event will be paid for out of Society Funds for all attending Society Members, as agreed, but Guests will still be welcome at a cost of £28.50 each. The Prize for the Event will be donated by your Captain for 2020, Alan Dennis.
Let's try and get this re-started as a well attended annual Event to round off each year going forward. Hope to see as many of you there as possible.
Following on from the AGM, please could everyone arrange to pay their Membership renewal Fee of £10 online into the new Bank Account please.
The Sort Code is 77-17-24 and the Account number is 44547568
The Minutes from the AGM will be circulated very soon, but in the meantime, please could everyone also advise John Doyle of their preferred Shirt size for ordering the new lightweight Shirts for the 2020 Season

This year's AGM will be held at Eastham Lodge Golf Club on Thursday 14th November at 6.30 p.m.
We will be holding the Meeting upstairs in the Clubhouse, but we will be using the downstairs bar facilities. If we have 24 attendees, we won't be charged for using the room, so please could everyone make an effort to attend.
Anyone who is willing to put themselves forward for any position, including Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary, Handicap Committee or Competition Committee is welcome and encouraged to do so and contact John Doyle beforehand.
Likewise, anything which you would like to be discussed at the Meeting, let John know and it will be added to the Agenda.
Don't forget chaps, this is your Society and all major decisions will be made at the AGM, so do try and make it and in any case, please let either John or Alan Dennis know, in order to keep tabs on the expected attendance numbers.
Confirmation of attendance: John Doyle, Alan Dennis, John Chapman, Darren White, Bob Stewart, Bob Sneddon, Carl Ambrose, Andy Fitzpatrick, Colin Newall, Mark McNally, Colin Lewis, Graham Leasor, Danny Parr, Colin Hodson, Arthur Brint, Ian Stevenson, Andy Miller, John Roche
