On Saturday, 16th September we played our monthly Greendale Spar Drawn trips competition which was well supported by our members. Thank you to Greendale Spar for their sponsorship of prize vouchers and teatime sandwiches and well done to the winning team of Ed Speed, Mary Steytler and Mark Taylor, as well as to the runners up who were Neil Wright, Pat Ciro and Colin Brown.
After the competition we held our Annual General Meeting where we adopted our new constitution. Thank you to the members who were involved in updating this important document to ensure that we keep up with the times and can accommodate all the new activities that are taking place at UWBC. One member we’d especially like to thank is Koos Marais, who really went above and beyond and put many hours into the new constitution; he had many meetings with different members to discuss the matter and put much time and effort into ensuring all the i’s were dotted and the t’s were crossed.
A note of thanks to our 2023/2024 committee who had a very successful year; some of the items achieved include the installation of flood lights on A Green, painting the outside and inside of the club, upgrading the seating area between the greens, building of a lovely braai facility, general improvements within the clubhouse and many other items. In addition to the long list of repairs and improvements, they have also managed to pull off some very successful monthly and annual competitions and have added much value to the club overall.
Lastly, we’d like to thank our members, without whom there would be no club! Thank you to each and every member who has joined us in the last year and been part and parcel of our success!
As we look forward to the next club year, we wish the incoming committee success and look forward to what the year ahead will bring.
That’s all for this week… see you on the greens!
