I will now make a few comments to assist you as you work through the Agenda and those items requiring a vote.
The first three items refer to the Minutes of the 2019 AGM, the Report of the 2020 AGM, which was held via voting by Email, as the Coronavirus forced us into a complete Lockdown. There are also the Minutes of the EGM held in October 2019. Then, there follows some reports concerning the 2020 Golfing and Financial Year. You can find links to all of these Minutes and Reports.
These are followed by three Propositions:
• The Club’s Finances and The Board’s recommendations for Membership Subscriptions for the coming year.
• The adoption of the Club Accounts for 2020, full details are available on our website.
• The re-appointment of the Club’s Accountants.
There is one other Proposition which requires some amendments to our Articles, Rules and Bylaws.
Following the signing of the Women In Golf Charter, as sponsored by the R & A and supported by England Golf, all Clubs are encouraged to sign up to the Charter. The Objective of the Charter is to encourage more Women to play Golf, thus ensuring that Golf Membership grows across the Country. Many of the objectives to achieve this apply to all of us, in particular how we can attract more Members and retain them. The Charter and Objectives have been agreed following lengthy discussions with England Golf and the required amendments are required to meet these objectives. With the hope that by Summer, the COVID restriction will be lifted, it will be an opportunity for all Golf Clubs to remain sustainable by having growing Memberships.
The Management Board strongly recommend that you vote in favour of all of the Propositions.
The last section is the Election of Officers, which comprises six Posts, five of which are uncontested. We have two candidates for the sixth post – that of Media Chairperson, a position that has been vacant for a while. PLEASE VOTE for ONE of the CANDIDATES.

Stay Safe and Healthy
Regards Colin Huckle, President
