We would like to say a huge thank you to Sue Pomeroy, ex Ladies Captain for her leadership of the Ladies Open Day initiative - great camaraderie and team spirit. Sue pushed hard for BCLGA support and achieved a grant to support the event. The clubhouse team have loved working on this and were able to support the bid with promotional materials and help drive potential visitors to the day with marketing activity. Just under 10,000 Facebook hits, external road signage, clubhouse signage and emails. A big thanks also to Liz France for her leadership in shaping the priorities for the day.
On the day itself we have so many people to thank for their support:
- Bruce Loome was amazing on the day, voluntarily giving up his time and energy to create a little coaching fun on the putting green whilst also being accessible for any questions. Thank you Bruce.
- The Ladies [Sue Pomeroy, Liz France. Donna Convery, Jill Peppett, Melinda Pooley, Chris Hallett and Gill Young], who volunteered their time to show off how great it is to become part of the PRGC ladies.
In particular - a massive thanks to Sue Pomeroy for her Boards promoting the Ladies Section and to Donna, a reasonably new member to the group, who has encouraged some of her friends to give us a try on one of our trial membership pathways. Thank you all so much for your help.
- The clubhouse team; a big thank you to Sarah and Luke for manning the Club promotional boards, where they highlighted the pathways into membership and to Chloe who kept the customer service behind the bar to an amazing standard - including a regular supply of cake! The teamwork behind the scenes on this event was amazing.
- The greenkeeping team; their work on the new Practise Area and Warm Up Nets in particular has made such a difference. Well done and a huge thanks to Jack, Chris and Evan.
All in all we had a very successful day with the new e-Flexi Trial Membership pathway proving to be hugely successful.
Thank you again to all who helped and supported. Let's ensure that our new ladies have an amazing induction and we thank the Ladies Section in advance for the work they will be doing along with the clubhouse team in making the trial memberships a success.
