2025 VETS AGM
As mentioned after the game on Wednesday, the Vet’s AGM will be held after golf on Wednesday, 5th November. All positions on the Committee will become vacant.
|
What we know is that President Bruce Otto and Secretary/Treasurer Rod Booth will be retiring from their roles. Captain Grant Smallacombe and Vice-Captain Jim Henderson will vacate their positions, but have indicated they will nominate for a general Committee position to assist in guiding newcomers through the process. This creates a wonderful opportunity to become involved and give something back to the club and sport in general.
|
Those considering nominating should read the article below, which outlines the
roles and responsibilities of the various Committee positions.

WEDNESDAY
The International All Stars versus the Aussies Stableford attracted a field of 87 players. The event was sponsored by The Shankers (Kevin Crundall and Grant Smallacombe), with the honours going to the Internationals by the barest of margins.

This game has been running for 11 years, and the Internationals have been the
standouts, winning 5 times. There was a suggestion that next year we should adopt a stricter approach and require passports and birth certificates.
