KILCOCK GOLF CLUB AGREED REPORT MEETING OF JOINT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (JMC) HELD ON WEDNESDAY 4th AUGUST 2021
Due to holidays, the meeting of the JMC due on 20th July was deferred and held remotely on Wednesday 4th August.
Garrett Donnery, director of Synergy Golf, attended the meeting and gave a written report.
The Honorary Treasurer, Dominic Holmes, reported that July was a good month for income and that the club’s finances continue to be stable and encouraging. He told the meeting that, based on the positive response to date to the club’s 2021 fundraiser (the sale of two ball green fees for €20), it looks like the fundraiser income will be able to pay for the sanding of the full course in early October. The fundraiser ends on 24th September.
Work on the upgrade of the club’s sewerage system is due to begin on 23rd August and will take about 3 weeks.
SPECIAL SUB-COMMITTEES
Two special sub-committees were set up and both are expected to submit their report to the September meeting of the JMC on 21st September. Two places will be reserved on both sub-committees for members of the club who express an interest in the next five days in joining the sub-committees. Please give your name to the Pro shop.
Strategic Plan Sub-Committee. Ken O’Brien will chair this sub-committee which will look at all the club’s needs for the next 5 years or so.
Plan for AGM. This sub-committee will examine how the upcoming AGM in December might be organised and, in particular, how the attendance of a greater number of members might be encouraged.
PRIZES FOR COMPETITIONS
The JMC decided to move away from the issuing of physical vouchers to competition prize-winners and instead to electronically transfer the value of the prizes to the winners’ pro shop or bar/restaurant account as appropriate. For competition winners, this eliminates the chance of misplacing the physical voucher or forgetting about it. For competition Secretaries, the electronic transfer will reduce the amount of time required to issue prizes.
The meeting congratulated all team of the club and their managers on their participation in the various competitions. The JMC wished the ladies’ team every success in the regional semi-final of the Ladies’ Minor Cup and the men’s team success in the next round of the Barton Cup.
The Captains were thanked and complimented on the success of their two recent 12 hole evening competitions.
The next meeting of the JMC will be held on Tuesday 24th August.
