The monthly report from Synergy Golf director Garret Donnery was discussed.
The Hon Treasurer reported that the club’s financial position is on target and that the club will return a surplus this year. The financial year ends on 30 September and the externally prepared financial statement for the year will be available at the AGM which will take place on Monday 6th December. Budgets for 2022 are currently being drafted for approval in October by the JMC.
Safety was discussed, including safety in the use of the practice area. Additional safety measures were agreed in relation to the use of the practice area.
The two Captains reported that income to date from the club’s 2021 fundraiser, the sale of green fees, amounts to €21,200. The associated draw will take place on Friday 24th September at 6pm.
Among the five sub-committees which reported back to the meeting, the IT sub-committee reported that arrangements are being made to store all the club’s documents in SharePoint which is part of Microsoft Office 365.
The requirements following the recent visit of a HSE environmental officer were discussed and agreed to be undertaken.
Further consideration will be given to producing a newsletter for members which reviews 2021 and provides as much information as possible on planned 2022 events.
The monthly report of the course sub-committee was considered and its members were thanked for their ongoing work and dedication.
The meeting agreed in principle to consider further giving each JMC member in 2022 a specific area of responsibility for which they would report to each JMC meeting.
The Barton Cup team were wished every success in the upcoming final against Malahide.
The next meeting of the JMC will be held on 19th October 2021.
On Sunday next 26th of September our Barton Cup team to travel to Malahide for the first round of the final. We wish them the best of luck and will all be shouting for them (but not on the course). We need as many members as possible to go to Malahide and give the lads your support, and if you are going why not wear a club jumper.
We are very proud of their achievements to date and look forward to the return match in Kilcock on Sunday the 10th of October.
Thanks to the greenkeeping staff for the quick turnaround of the course after the scarifying on Monday. It was great to see members out playing again on Tuesday, in particular, the ladies who had a 4 club competition that day.
This Friday evening (24th Sept) the sale of green fees draw takes place at 6 pm and you’re very welcome to come along. Following the draw, there will be a medals and prizes presentation for ladies.

The team is managed by Jason Corscadden and Conor Mahon.
Kilcock now meets Wicklow in the Barton Cup semi-final on Sunday next the 12th of September. Why not come down and give the team your support.
Thanks to all members who have sold green fees in our club fundraiser which ends with the grand draw at 6pm on Friday 24 Sept (just 2 weeks away). On Friday last, 3rd September, the performance was: Members who sold green fees = 208: Green Fees sold = 655: Members yet to report = 430. Income received €13,100. We ask members who have yet to report to make a special effort this week to sell the two green fees and bring money and stubs back to the pro shop. All money received in the fundraiser will be used to sand the fairways and bunkers and other improvements to our members-owned club.
We invite five male and five female members to offer their services (through the Pro shop) to draw tickets on Friday 24 Sept at 6pm in the club’s fundraiser. There are 65 prizes to be drawn so each of the (hopefully) ten club members will make six draws throughout the evening.
Thanks for all your support
Captains: Tommy & Eileen
