Meeting of the Joint Management Committee (JMC) on Tuesday 16 February 2021
AGREED REPORT
The February meeting of the Joint Management Committee (JMC) was held on Tuesday 16 Feb 2021 by remote technology.
The challenge for members and for the club in relation to the renewal of club membership was a major item on the meeting’s agenda. Following the extensive discussion, a special letter will be emailed to all members on Friday next, 19 Feb. Please watch out for it.
Garrett Donnery, director of Synergy Golf, joined the start of the meeting and provided a report and advice on a number of matters.
Five sub-committees presented either interim or final reports. Arising from one of the reports the JMC authorised the seeking of sponsorship for the tee boxes and decided that all such income would be allocated to sanding the course. A revised leave of absence policy was agreed and will be published shortly on the club website. The interim report from the club constitution sub-committee was adopted together with its recommendation that the club’s constitution be modelled closely on the template prepared by Golf Ireland. The meeting welcomed the offer after the January meeting by three members of the club to join (short-term) sub-committees set up at that meeting.
The meeting welcomed the launch of the club’s new website and the JMC hopes to make good use of this site to update members on all aspects of the club and also to showcase the club to the outside world.
The meeting authorised the signing of a two year lease for the former pro shop with the current tenant whose year one lease is now expiring.
The club will make an application in the next two weeks for a grant under the Sports Capital Grant scheme 2021. The club is awaiting a decision, due in the next two weeks, on its application for a grant under the Resilience Grant scheme.
The JMC invited members of the club to consider joining the JMC for this year to fill the three vacancies on the committee. To offer, please contact the pro shop, [email protected] . The ideal response would be two lady members and one male member.
The meeting passed a vote of sympathy with men’s club Hon Secretary, John Kennedy, on the death of his mother. RIP.
The March meeting of the JMC will be held on Tuesday 16 March 2021
