5 President s Report Golf at Club Banora continued to be strong during Membership passed 360 as new members are a little greater than those retiring. Our finances are buoyed by the December 2017 one-off grant by the Twin Towns Board which is much appreciated. Treasurer Ray Tume provides experienced and responsible financial direction that ensures our cash-at-bank position does not drop below our annual liabilities. Thanks Ray. Thank you also to members for their consistent support of our raffles. Raffle revenue combined with the Twin Towns grant allowed the Committee to provide 12 green fee free days for a total of 877 member-rounds and subsidise five functions in the past year. The Captains and their Sub Committees are thanked for their dedicated effort of managing the daily competitions. A major initiative for the Committee was working with Twin Towns to strengthen privacy and protection of member details as it applies to internal clubs and for us, Golf Membership. The Golf Club now receives only basic member details, those needed to manage golf entitlement. Updating of golf financial-to detail is automatically applied to the Golf System and the Pro Shop updates any additional detail needed by Golf Australia to issue a handicap. Membership maintenance in the golf system is substantially reduced and the many hours that our Membership Office performed each month eliminated. Thank you to Diane Hughes for her dedication to this task over the past seven years. Special thank you to our three Captains; Wayne Muir, Denise Culpitt and Wayne Martlew, who are standing down at the AGM. Each Captain has made a substantial contribution to our Golf over the past two years including strengthening communication, procedures and IT use. Thank you also to Vice President, Rosie Connolly who provides a value-added contribution managing Sunday Golf and it is important to recognise the driving force that Secretary, Marlene Wyatt was with preparation of next year s Fixture Book. Thank you, Marlene for your work as Club Secretary. Retiring Representatives Dave Harrod and Myra Biggar have played strong supporting roles for Club Captains and their effort is appreciated by all members, thank you. Thanks are extended to Mike Fraser, Brian Brown, Rob Smith and Rod Pain for their ongoing support on all matters. The Golf Club is also strongly supported by the Greens team which always has the course in excellent condition, the Pro Shop, Island House staff, Twin Towns Conference and Convention Manager and Twin Towns IT thank you. The Golf Club members thank Twin Towns for the major initiative of replacing the end-of-life bridge that allows easy access to the golf course from the Pro Shop. The importance of the bridge was re-enforced during its absence. Congratulations to all the winners and runners up of major Club events in 2017 and to our division winning Men s Pennant team. Sponsors boost competition prizes and our Golf Club is fortunate to have North Estate Agents as a major sponsor. Thank you to North and to your representatives who joined us at functions throughout the year. Also, thank you to Go Golfing, Hillview Rose Farm and to our many members who sponsored competitions throughout On behalf of the Golf Management Committee I again extend our condolences to all members who have lost family and friends in the last year, and wish a speedy recovery to those suffering ill health. I hope that all members enjoy their membership in the year ahead and particularly the camaraderie which marks our club. Ken Culpitt President 5

8 Veterans Captain Report Another year of golf has passed and since Xmas, numbers have been down a little because of the hot weather. Overall for 2017 players participating on a Monday have been on average 75 each week, which is about the same as the previous year.

9 Treasurer s Report The Statement of Income and Expenditure for the period 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 shows that Club Banora Golf Club had an account balance of $30, as at 31 December 2017 this being a trading deficit (loss) of $1, for the 2017 year. Year 2017 Ladies Balance $ 4, Loss $ Men $12, Loss $ Veterans $13, Loss $1, Total $30, Loss $1, The 2017 budget forecast was for a loss of $9,959. The reason for the difference is the $9,580 grant received from Twin Towns in December 2017 which is not a budgeted item. The Committee have already approved a further deficit budget for As mentioned above a big thank you to Twin Towns for their continued support in once again giving the club a $9,580 grant. This grant is appreciated by the Golf Club and will be fully returned to the members and spent at Twin Towns as is past practice.

18 6. Notice of motion Notice of Motion to amend the Constitution to Reduce the Golf Committee to Seven Members Background When the single Golf Section was established in 2011 the Constitution included traditional executive positions of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer as well as Captains for Men, Ladies and Veterans golf. The Golf Committee was rounded out with two general Committee members called Member Representative, one male and one female. While the first seven positions were assigned formal roles, the Representatives were not. The members who have been elected to the Representative positions since 2011 have tried in good faith to effectively serve the Golf Club but their effectiveness has been determined by the scope provided by the Captains. At the 2016 Golf Club AGM, the meeting asked that the Representative positions be changed to Vice Captains. The request was considered by the Golf Committee at the May and July Committee meetings and it was decided that for greater logistic flexibility the Captains preferred to identify their Vice Captain from within their Sub-Committees. The Captains are also of the view that they did not wish to identify specific roles for their Vice Captain beyond substituting for them at a Golf Committee meeting in their absence. Twin Towns has provided advice on how the fill in substitution can easily be achieved for each of the three Captains. In the context outlined, it is proposed to delete from Internal Club Management Section of the Golf Club Constitution, the positions of Men s Representative and Ladies Representative and to delete the same positions from the Election of Internal Club Committee Section. It is moved that Men s Representative and Ladies Representative are removed from Internal Club Management Section and Election of Internal Club Committee Section. Moved: Member No: Mike Flanagan (Men s Captain) Signed:. Seconded: Member No: Wayne Martlew (Veterans Captain) Signed:. The Notice of Motion was voted by a show of Hands, which was defeated. A few members advised that they could not hear what they were voting for so Ken Mount (19084) asked that another vote be conducted. This was done and the Notice of Motion was defeated once more. 7. General Business: 18

19 L Edwards (19378) queried the appointment of Vice Captains as the sub committees could nominate them. Nigel Luxton (9353) queried why the 11 th Hole had been altered to a Par 3 for Men. Wayne Muir (8540) advised that the Men were trialling it. Leon Anesbury (39187) suggested that on a Saturday, as the fields were full and groups had to wait on the 2 nd & 3 rd holes, that the 12 th Hole be played as 3 rd Hole and vice versa to speed up play. Terry Baker (17272) commented on the state of the Bunkers advising that it was like hitting off concrete. Paul Pochodyla (50327) asked Men s Captain to look at afternoon Tee Times and the Pace of Play 8. Election of Officers: Brian Brown (Deputy Chair) was the Returning Officers on behalf of Twin Towns Board. Brian thanked all the Committee for their commitment for the past year. President Nominee: Ken Culpitt Nominated by: Rosemary Connolly Seconded by: Wayne Martlew Vice-President Nominee: Rosemary Connolly Nominated by: Penelope Martlew Seconded by: Ken Culpitt Treasurer- Nominee: Ray Tume 1839 Nominated by: Stewart Melling Seconded by: Max Jessop 4250 Secretary- No Nominations The Committee will fill the vacant Secretary and Men s Representative Positions. Mike Fraser congratulated the Committee. He advised that the Course was looking good but needed rain as it was becoming quite dry. The plans for Club Banora were still ongoing and being held up because of Council. He wished the incoming Committee all the best. As there was no further business, the meeting closed at 2.50pm 19
