January 2024 Newsletter

Presidents' Report:

Happy New Year to all our Members. Our first game of the year was at Keysborough Golf Club on Monday 16th January. We had 65 players including one guest Joseph Wurstholm who was a guest of Warren Stahel. Thank you Warren.

We also had two special guests from our VVGA. John Robertson from Buninyong and Greg Bennett from Geelong. This is the first occasion we have had members from the board of Directors playing with our district . We should be honoured to have such great company. Appreciate the effort they put in to come from the Country. Well done John and Greg. I believe if we go ahead with our three Melbourne districts playing a challenge game in 2025, the boys from headquarters will be there. Something for our club to look forward to.

Also a special thanks to Robert Taylor for coming as my Guest from Bright.

Remember to be at Waverley on Monday 5th February for our Annual A G M. If you are interested in joining our wonderful committee, this would be a good place to start. If you wish to nominate, please ring our secretary Jeff Taylor on 0423 916 131.

Look forward to seeing you all at Waverley Golf Club. In the meantime stay Safe and Well.

Your Smiling President Harold Hayes.
