2011 Club Committees

Enclosed with this newsletter is a form to update your 2011 committee details. This form goes out to each of you yearly so that the new committee information can be updated on my records. Please understand that the representative nominated by you is the person most likely to attend the general and annual general meeting through the year. I am a little concerned that the information that is sent to nominated club members is not reaching everyone, so please send me as many email addresses as you like, it doesn't matter how many people get information, the more the better!

There are a lot of clubs that I haven't had any update from in a few years, so I would really appreciate time taken to fill out the form and return to me.

I am reminding all clubs that Golf Qld and Golf Australia will both increase their fees for collection in March 2011. These will be:

•Golf Qld $19.00

•Golf Aust 11.55

•D&SW 6.20 (unchanged)

•TOTAL $36.75

Notices will be sent out in February, and payment is due by 31 March 2011.

The mixed 4somes championship will be played at Toowoomba Golf Club on Monday 1st November, and we look forward to all our regular players, and maybe some new ones as well. This is an 18 hole event and I hope we all have a terrific tournament!

Don't forget to have a PINK DAY again this year, a few clubs used their closing day and raised funds to go towards the Breast Screen Clinic at Toowoomba Hospital. October is the official month for Breast Cancer Awareness, so I hope you all can support this good cause once again.

When forwarding on any funds make cheque payable to:

Toowoomba Hospital Foundation, PO Box 7646, Toowoomba . QLD 4350

District Events

I am reminding clubs that you can apply to the committee to host any of our annual events. We hold the Ex Challenge in late February/early March

•

Matchplay Championship in late April if possible,

•

Federation 4ball is usually early June; and

•

District Championship is always mid August.

It is an opportunity for your club to earn some income, however, we do expect that you only charge the district a nominal fee per player per day, as we run these events ourselves and provide the trophies.

Good Ideas

Your district committee is always ready to hear about and implement some good ideas, so if any of you have some good ideas for future events or systems please pass them along, as we could be missing out.

Lost Property

Ruth Hungerford has a couple of things that were handed in to her at the district ch'ships at Roma: Blood donor badge; and pink ball marker that will need to be identified. Please ring her or myself or contact by email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we can return them to you.
