Dear Members, Well, good morning to everyone, I apologise for this being put out today, I’ve been away for a couple of days with Mand, my better half. Back to reality now and ready for the push towards Christmas. It was nice however to drive in this morning and see how much the course has come back, and how green it is looking. Catering Corner Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding over the last few weeks while we work towards getting a full team back together. Emma is back in on Friday after her holiday; catering is still limited to sandwiches and any bar snacks that we may have. Caitlin our new catering assistant started with us yesterday, it will take her a little while to get up to speed but will be a great addition to the team. We also have Lacey start with us as a new Front of House assistant. This will now complete the full team and enable us to provide the service expected from the club.
