New Weekend Value Pack for 5 Day Members
Weekend Value Pack for 5 Day Members - Just £50
We have been made aware of an opportunity to create a new deal for 5 day members, who on the odd occasion may wish to play a competition or a game on a weekend but cannot quite justify upgrading to a 7 day membership or paying a w/e green fee.
The difference between a 5 and 7 day membership is £100.
5 Day members play on the weekend at guest rates:
- A morning w/e green fee is £38, or £30 guest rate. Normal 5 Day concession rate for a w/e competition is £20 per day.
- It was suggested that we create a W/E Value Pack for 5 day members and we are going to give it a try.
Cost of Value Pack: £50 per year
Offer: 4 x W/E Games for £50 (equivalent to just £12.50 per round!)
As a Special Xmas Offer we are offering the Green Fee Element of the Xmas Eve Texas Scramble (£10) Free if you sign up to the Value Pack pre - Xmas. That takes the equivalent average price per round down to just £10! (£50 for 5 W/E rounds)
We know this will be valued by at least one or two of you and we are delighted to trial the offer to see how it goes.
Please let us know if you are interested by completing the form or speaking to me in the clubhouse 🙂
Thank you
Sarah and the Clubhouse Team
Christmas Eve Texas Scramble – The Best Fun Comp of The Year!!
Colleagues,
Please find below the details for our annual Christmas Eve Scramble which will of course take place on Saturday 24th December. Members teams will be playing for the Bob Wilson trophy and a bottle of something each. Any team which has 2 guests or more will be playing for the guest team prize which is a bottle of something else!!
Sarah will post the sign-up sheet at the bar as usual and we would ask that you sort your teams and get them signed up ASAP.
This is always a fun day and good introduction to Christmas so get organised and let's see who can wrestle the Bob Wilson trophy away from the Family Wagerfield and Friends who were the inaugural winners last year.
I would also politely remind members of the two other events we are running in December. The Club Stableford will be this coming Saturday 10th and the Seniors Stableford on Tuesday 13th December.
That's it so let's get organised
Best wishes
Al Bowyer
Club Captain

The weather has been a bit mixed during November, with our away day at Wycombe Heights being postponed until next year.
The results for November are:
Inaugural Florida Scramble Winners: Liz France, Alma Piddington & Gerry Walker
November Stableford Winner: Rosie Brand
Jill’s charity is MNDA and when the Bonus Golf competition was cancelled due to bad weather, instead of playing golf the ladies met for coffee and were shown a very moving video about Rob Burrow, who suffers from Motor Neurone Disease.
Polly Allen and Sue Pomeroy have put together a wonderful Christmas hamper to raffle in aid of the MND Association. Raffle tickets at £5 are available from the bar where the hamper is now displayed.
As regards golf, we must just once again mention that hedgehog wheels must now be used on golf trolleys at all times. Any players without hedgehog wheels must only use trolleys in the rough at the side of the fairways.
December programme:
Fri 2 Mixed Stableford
Sat 3 December Stableford
Wed 7 December Stableford
Fri 9 Mixed Stableford
Wed 14 Turkey Trot competition and lunch
Fri 16 Mixed Stableford

CAPTAIN’S COMMUNICATION NUMBER 1
November 2022
Dear Members,
One of my targets in the coming year is, in conjunction with the Club Management, to keep you up to date with various events and other useful information.
So, for my first communication of the year, I am pleased to give you the details of this year’s Members Committee.
Your committee this year includes a number of important changes with Barry Woledge, Neil Martin and Doug Taylor all standing down after many years of being involved.
And as you will see these changes mean that we have 2 vacant positions, namely Competitions Secretary and Treasurer. If any members are interested in joining the Committee and assisting with either of these roles, would you please make contact with me or Steve Sargeant so that we can discuss the options with you.
In the meantime, Steve and I will do our utmost to cover these important roles.
Should you have any comments and/or queries please feel free to contact me or any of the Committee Members, and we will be happy to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I very much look forward to meeting and perhaps playing with you sometime.
My very best wishes

AGM 19.30 on the 1st NOVEMBER 2022 at PRGC
Dear Members,
I am pleased to invite you to the Members AGM which is being held at 19.30 on the 1st NOVEMBER 2022.
I am pleased to invite you to the Members AGM which is being held at 19.30 on the 1st NOVEMBER 2022.
During the evening your existing Committee will provide an overview of the year 2021 to 2022 and your new Committee will be elected and will give an insight into the coming year.
We do have a number of Committee Members standing down after many years of providing excellent service and support. As a result there are a number of vacancies and if you are interested in joining the Committee at any time in the future then please don’t hesitate to contact me direct.
In particular we are looking for a suitable candidate (or perhaps 2 sharing) to take over the role of Competition Secretary, and in this connection please find attached a separate document giving details of the role. Please give this your consideration and get in touch with me if you are interested.
I and the Committee look forward to seeing you on 1st November.
Kind Regards
Al

Your Golf Club Needs You!!
Barry Woledge a stalwart of our Golf Committee is standing down this November and we need at least one volunteer to come and join us and help run the club. Barry has done a stella job for many years working away planning and executing club competitions seamlessly.
To continue the great practices Barry has put in place, we now need to cover the role of Competition Secretary.
This could, if required, be split into 2 roles:
Planning and Marketing
And Execution.
We are therefore looking for 1 or 2 people to join the committee and take up these roles:
Key elements:
Compiling the annual calendar with inputs from Senior Captain, Ladys Captain, CBL lead to ensure matches against other clubs don't clash with club events.
Marketing events so club members are aware, and participation is maximised.
Execute events on the planned day(s)
Validate cards and announce winners
Organise and distribute Prizes where applicable
Without this role our club will struggle to operate effectively, and we could all suffer as a consequence.
So, if you interested, please contact Al Bowyer or Steve Sargeant. If you would like to understand more about the role, then please contact Barry
Monthly Medal this weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun)
Please see below the flier for the October medal to be played this coming weekend. This will be the last occasion when medals will be played over three days. From November onwards all monthly medals and stablefords will be played on one designated weekend day only.
Enjoy.
Barry Woledge
Competitions Secretary
New 2023 Competition Schedule (Pre-Updates)
Colleagues
Please click here for the club diary for the upcoming golfing year. I have made some changes to reflect the Captains Drive in will now be on Sunday 13th November and the change in the CBL winter KO match date to Saturday 19th November. This had the knock-on effect of pushing the November stableford back by one week to Saturday 26th November. The rest is as before.
This has been published well ahead of the AGM for all to consume.
AGM 19.30 on the 1st NOVEMBER 2022 at PRGC
This is the annual starter for 10 and any changes will be announced via monthly updates
Best wishes
