Captain's Report, December 2010
‘In the bleak mid winter frosty winds made moan
Earth stood hard as iron water like a stone
Snow had fallen snow on snow’
And so the Captain’s diary gets emptier and hence my report gets shorter.
The annual Children in Need Charity Day was held on the 12th of November and was, as usual, well attended and great fun to be involved in. The club’s thanks go to Mick, Jack and Ron for continuing to organise this event as it reflects well on Mapperley Golf Club as well as raising considerable funds for Children in Need.
The following day I enjoyed attending the club’s annual Dinner and Dance. This was a well attended and well organised event and my thanks go to the Lady Captain for her major contribution to organising the evening. I would like to thank the members and guests who attended and hope that they enjoyed the evening as much as Lynn and I did.
Sadly this year, due to the bad weather, we had to cancel the annual Cheese and Wine evening. This is when traditionally the proceeds of the Captain’s Charity are handed over to the recipient charity. The event also affords the Captain the opportunity to thank the many helpers that work during the year towards the charity. Having been denied that occasion I shall take this opportunity the record my thanks to the following people.
Throughout the year I have been grateful to Lynn and her team of ladies who produce cakes, sell raffle tickets and staff the half way house. Not an easy job but thanks to them one and all.
The main charity event of the year is obviously Charity Day, which involves contributions from many of the members. I cannot name them all but my thanks go to all who played in the competition, those who sponsored the holes, the many who donated prizes, the ladies who baked and sold cakes, Martin for the publicity, Brian Robinson for his auctioneering and all the others who helped on and around that weekend.
Special mention needs to be made of Trevor Smith and Brian Bancroft.
Trevor is a wizard at producing donations and prizes for the auction. Without him the auction would not work, thank you Trev.
Brian Bancroft masterminds the whole event as well as running the betting board and selling raffle tickets on the day. Without his wealth of experience it would be so much more difficult to organise the day at all so thank you Brian for a great job well done.
As the proceeds of the charity could not be handed over on the 2nd I have sent a cheque for four thousand pounds to this years Captain’s Charity.
My and the cubs thanks go to Linda and Graham Bird who organise the club decorations for the festive season. Thank you.
Yesterday saw the annual Children’s Christmas Party, a wonderful affair that reflects very well on the club as well as bringing so much pleasure to so many children (and adults).
My thanks go to Nick and I think on this occasion especially to Danielle for a super afternoon enjoyed by all who attended.
I am sure Alistair is going to mention it but the clubs thanks go to Geoff Mantle for the great job he has done in decorating the junior locker room. It is now a room to be proud of.
In closing I would like to wish all the members of the committee and the whole membership of Mapperley Golf Club a happy Christmas and a successful and safe 2011.
