Thanks to Cooroy Golf Club catering (Wayne, Leith Barr, Christine Michael and Terri Cairns) we enjoyed an excellent XMAS smorgasbord lunch intermixed with our presentation of annual awards and trophies, a few drinks with lots of laughs and caught up with friends.  It was great that Garry Sheales, Bill Hesse and Brian McLoughlin could attend lunch. 

As has been the case throughout the year days like this don’t just happen without a lot of organisation and work behind the scenes.  Thanks to the Vets Committee and Grant and Jimmy in particular, for your efforts in making the day a success.  Thank you also to Kevin Crundall, Don Clelland, Ron Blount, John Stewart and handicapper Assunta Easton for providing assistance throughout the year.

Thanks also to Bob Watson for his photographic efforts, a picture is worth 1,000 words! 

We enjoyed the company of the Penman Family, Bruce and Carol Penman and, Bev and Kevin Caldwell, again this year for golf and lunch and to present our prestigious Jim Penman Host Day Trophy and Jim Penman Single Matchplay Trophy.

Course Superintendent, Todd McNamee and his hardworking team, Paul Dawson, Brendan O’Brien and Alex Delbridge joined us for lunch so we could thank them personally.  We very much appreciate their efforts and the much-improved presentation of the course.  

The contribution by our volunteers, many of them Vets, does not go unrecognised; your efforts throughout the year have made a difference.

Have a merry XMAS and we will see you all again in 2019.
