Some Great January Competitions – Results…

Jacko’s Corner Shed…

A quick follow up on the plans shared last year regarding the upgrades to the car parking facilities at the club.

You will recall that we recaptured the space at the bottom of the car park adjacent to the practice area, creating numerous spaces for a growing membership and club user base.

We committed to building a shed in the 'dead space corner' at the bottom of the car park to help house our growing buggy fleet and we are delighted to announce that this is now in place.

A massive thank you to Jacko (Alan Jackson) for battling an awkward car park canva, some torrential downpours and a tight budget to achieve our goals.

Thank you Jacko - another outstanding piece of work for the club!

NB Next on our programme:

* Front of shoe cleaning area

* Disabled path to members area door

*Better demarcation of spaces to help improve car park utilisation

*Mobility space allocation

Beryl’s Bench – Unveiling at 1pm, Wednesday 4th February…

Beryl Austin who sadly passed on January 27th, 2025 is being honoured with the unveiling of 'Beryl's Bench' in the Clubhouse (Princes Suite) on Wednesday 4th February at 1pm.
Beryl was the the first to receive an honorary membership by PRGC. She was Captain in 2007/08 and acted as Treasurer and Secretary for as long as anyone could remember!
The PRGC Ladies organised a raffle to raise funds for' Beryl's Bench'- well done ladies and thank you to all who contributed.
What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady - such a huge influence on the club; kind, positive and fun.  Her husband Alan and their daughter and son will be there to make the unveiling just that little bit more special.
Once again - well done ladies!

Calendar Update – Feb to April

Please find below the members' calendars for February, March and April.

These are obviously driven to a degree by the weather and subject to change - please keep an eye on the notice board.

For a little bit of fun, we are testing a new competition to add a bit of spice to the Saturday Monthly Stablefords when played Mats to Mains rather than off the Whites.  More information to follow but essentially we are opening up the opportunity to become the 'Winter Champion'.  Watch this space...

Notes from the Members Forum on Jan 3rd 2026

We would like to thank those that braved the weather to attend the Members Forum on Jan 3rd.

See the meeting notes ... Members Forum January 2026 - Notes V1

We covered a great deal in the forum and thank Phil and Mark for their significant contribution to a really positive and wide ranging discussion, and for agreeing the notes.

The management would also like to draw attention to the significant amount of research carried out by Sarah and Luke - in particular relating to the course congestion issue.

It was great to be able to discuss how successful the Xmas Eve Scramble was and the forum thanked Trish for her amazing food - it really was fab,  Sarah and Luke for both the planning and management on the day and to Al Bowyer for providing the blue print of how to run the comp.

Great meeting - next forum date to be circulated shortly.
