Unfortunately, the weekend saw extreme temperatures which resulted in the club competition being called off.
This was done due to frozen ground, care for the course, and respect for the competition and sponsor.
The 16-hole v. par has been re-scheduled for next Sunday, January 26, and we hope for better conditions and a good entry.
Membership subscriptions can now be paid, either through the office and bar or via standing order.
