The NGC Half way house is the envey of all the golf clubs we play matches against. We have approx120 seniors who should be able to undertake these duties.  Over the last few years it has become increasingly difficuld to get sufficient volunteers without ringing around. Consequently, we tend to get the same band of willing  'volunteers.  We need 24 'volunteers' per year and if  everyone takes their turn you should only do it every 5 years. In recognition, those of you who do volunteer will receive special consideration for the matches you have signed up for'. I have detailed the volunteers to date below and urge those of you who have never volunteered or who have not volunteered for a long time to do so.

Jan.   Chris Graham & Pete Smith           July

Feb.   Roger Swain & John Tinsley           Aug.    Mike Bell & derek Parkin

Mar.   David Britton & Ron Lawson            Sep.

Apr.    Peter Bartlett & Simon Pearce         Oct.   Colin Dews

May                                                                   Nov.    Keith Russell & Robert Lindsay

All the matches with other golf clubs for this season are now on the notice board in the Spike Bar. Would you please tick the matches that you would like to be selected for.

The entry sheet for the Seniors v Ladies is now on the noticeboard in the Spike Bar.  We need a minimum of 40 + reserves and this year I would like it to be over subscribed.  Availability for this match could well affect selection for some of the more desirable matches. This is a home matct for us so WE ARE PAYING.

WE STILL NEED 10 MORE SENIORS' TO SUPPORT THIS MATCH PLUS A FEW RESERVES.

The draw for the  for  Singles ( The Jack Lawrence Cup) and Doubles ( The Vincent Stanley Cup) knockout competitions have been made and they are now on the notice board in the Spike Bar 

 Please note that the deadline dates for these fixtures will be monitored closely. 

The Seniors Spring Meeting and Luncheon is scheduled for Thursday 18th March.  This is an 18 hole stableford, full handicap, played from yellow tees. There will also be prize for the best  score for Seniors who are over 75 years old and the best score by a guest.  If there is enough interest it may be possible to 'tag on' a 9 hole for those who are unable to do 18.  Henry Horscroft has kindly donated a trophy fpr the meeting so we will be playing for the  THE HORSCROFT CUP. The winner will keep the trophy for 3 months and it will then be kept in the club trophy cabinet.

There will also be a 6 hole putting competition.  Entry is by way of the Seniors Noticeboard in the Spike Bar.

The meal will be Cow Pie and the cost is £11.00 excluding a tip.  Our guests will be the club Captain, Malcolm Smith and Graham Macdonald.
