Minutes of Previous Meeting:   Approved

 

Amendments:   None

 

Matters Arising: 

​

1. The ongoing situation with low attendance was discussed at length and it was agreed that it would be beneficial to contact as many past rabbit captains as possible and JC agreed to coordinate this. 

​

2. A discussion was held around whether the association tie should be worn at the President's away day and it was decided that this would be encouraged whilst not wanting to deter anyone from attending. JC took the action to ensure all past rabbit captains would be given ties completely free of charge. 

 

Secretary’s Report:

 

All competitions were completed with some having limited attendance, congratulations to all winners. The Sam Hall Salver at Halifax G.C and Roger Heap Trophy at Hebden Bridge G.C had to be cancelled and rearranged and required some creative thinking from both Mr President and Mr Vice President. The Foundation Trophy was completed in the new format at Bradley Hall.  The Presidents Away Day at Whitefield G.C. was a great success and all participants had a good day. 

This year has very much been a learning process for myself and i would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement which has been much appreciated.

Joe

Incoming Presidents Remarks:

​

I am greatly honoured to have been given the opportunity to be President of the Halifax Past Rabbit Captains Golf Association for 2023. I have always been a great supporter of the association and aim to contribute as much as I can in order to see it flourish. Having said that, I am acutely aware that numbers attending our competitions and events have declined over recent years and it is only with hard work from us all that we can get attendances back up to where they should be. I m confident that with the strong team around me we can build and have a great year. 

​

May I take this opportunity to thank David Greenwood and Ian Black for their many years of hard work in their respective roles of Secretary and Treasurer

​

​

Subscriptions & Competition Fees:

​

The Committee propose that no increase is to be made to the subs and competition fees for 2023 and will remain at:

Membership: £3.00

Foundation: £4.00

This proposal was agreed.

 

 

 

Competition Dates 2023:

 

Sam Hall Salver: - Thursday 31st August at Halifax G.C.

 

Roger Heap Trophy: - Sunday 17th September at Hebden Bridge G.C.

 

Past Captains Cup (Away Day): - Sunday 10th September at Whitefield G.C.

 

Order of Merit: - Hon Secretary to update after the conclusion of each competition.

 

Foundation Trophy:

Due to dwindling support over the past couple of years because of trying to organize matches it was proposed last year to trial a change to the format. It has to be said that this did not result in an increase in numbers.
