Time to start planning 2010 and the Trip Away

AGM
We will be having the AGM shortly date TBC.
If we do not have any major issues to confront then we may be able to have a quick meeting after a game shortly? For that to happen we need your feedback on any issues current or coming up YOU see, that need discussion / put on the agenda.
Also think about taking a position on the committee a bloodless coup d'e tat, is preferred, so start thinking/ talking to each other about nominations.

Trip Away

As per programme, 6 -8 /11/2009. Two games of golf on the North Coast, accommodation back at Hastings, so a retro trip for those who can remember that far back.
We need to know numbers as always so if you are a definite either way, email us to get your name down, costs per head will depend on individual contributions from raffles and a break even contribution. The exact amount is TBC. Numbers will be limited due to the GEC, so get your self organised and tell us by e-mail.

Ponder this.

Knowing

One day Chuang Tzu and a friend were walking by a river. "Look at the fish swimming about," said Chuang Tzu, "They are really enjoying themselves." "You are not a fish," replied the friend, "So you can't truly know that they are enjoying themselves.""You are not me," said Chuang Tzu. "So how do you know that I do not know that the fish are enjoying themselves?"

Food for Thought

This is the first of the Four Noble Truths. If people examine their own experiences or look at the world around them, they will see that life is full of suffering...... both physical and mental. People also suffer when unable to satisfy their limitless needs and wants. There is happiness also, but happiness is impermanent. The truth is that suffering is unavoidable.

We wish them all the best.

They don't want to do raffles so there will be a reprint of the raffle roster.

RAFFLE ROSTER 2009

Raffles are on Fridays listed below.
They consist of two meat trays at the moment.
The person nominated for that Friday is RESPONSIBLE in total for the raffle that Friday.
A successful raffle will get you 20 points.
No show, unsuccessful raffle will earn you -50 points,
Points will attract a dollar value at the end of the year.
The funds earned go towards the end of year trip away, presentations, and golf related expenses throughout the year for YOU.
There will NOT be constant reminders about the raffles, records will be kept on this site so we can all see who is contributing.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THIS PAGE AS IT MAY VARY, we will email everyone when changes occur.

Remember this:
Golf is more fun than walking naked in a strange place, but not much.
