AGREED REPORT
The final meeting of the 2021 JMC took place on Tuesday night in the clubhouse. Garrett Donnery, director of Synergy Golf, attended and gave a wide-ranging report. He recommended that the club’s charges in 2022 for green fees and societies should be increased as a result of the increased popularity and quality of the course. This was agreed upon by the meeting.
Course convenor Kevin O’Connor gave his report on the work and plans of the course sub-committee. The meeting gave approval for work to begin immediately on upgrading two tee boxes as well as the raising of the ladies tee box on the 18th.
The meeting approved the club’s annual accounts to 30 September 21. These accounts will be presented at the AGM on Monday 06 Dec and will be available on the club’s website seven days in advance of the meeting.
In 2017 allowances off membership subscriptions for officers of the three clubs were reduced by 50% because of the club’s financial position. The meeting decided to restore the allowances to 75% of the pre-2017 amount with effect from 01 January 2022.
Outgoing Captains Tommy Tallon and Eileen O’Toole were thanked for all their work and commitment to the club.
The meeting urged members to attend the AGM and also to consider putting their names forward for the vacancies: (a) Honorary Secretary (b) the six vacancies on the JMC
We welcomed the HSA/HSE this week for an inspection of our COVID regulations. The officials examined all Covid-19 arrangements and records and stated they were fully satisfied that the club and the club’s caterer were in full compliance. The officials clarified that where a member has previously presented a vaccination certificate that has been noted by the caterer, there is no need for further productions in the club of the certificate.
The meeting gave permission for sponsorship of tee boxes to be sought for 2022. Further details on sponsorship rates and benefits will be made available shortly.
The first meeting of the 2022 JMC will be held on Tuesday 18 January.
