Day 189 - Busy Diary

Another deluge day: this August potentially the wettest ever?  It doesn't feel that bad to me though, just a lot of rain concentrated over short periods. At least the forecast for the next few days looks brighter.

So, no golf today, but still work to do. I had a meeting with the General Manager at the club, reviewing progress on the new Halfway Huts (not sure that they will actually get built during my captaincy year, but it's been fun following their progress!), general membership issues and reviewing the last few weeks' operations at the club.  There have been times at weekends of "congestion" in the morning, often when one course is out of action for a competition.  We shall have to find a way forward that works, because the threat is always out there to introduce fixed tee times at weekends - something I cannot believe that any members want!  I have agreed to give the matter some thought.

Back to the Club again in the evening for a Scoial Committee meeting. For the first time for a while, we had to hold it inside as it is no longer feasible to sit outside on the terrace in the evenings: a sign that summer is approaching its end.

We reviewed recent social events and took pleasure from the the fact that the attendance this year is running higher than recent years, though not yet back to the peak of 2011. Still trying to work out what we did right then!

We also looked forward to a busy calendar: Bank Holiday Pop Rees Mixed Foursomes, Super Twilight on 12th Sept (still places available!), Cross Country in October and Hallowe'en Night Golf at the end of that month.

And we want to squeeze a Rules Night Quiz in there too.  At least, nobody can complain that there is not enough going on!
