AGM - Weston Super Mare - Friday 26 October 2019

For those who are not able to join us at Weston Super Mare for the AGM and a great days golf, here is a brief summary of the agenda and what is being proposed for the 2020 Season as well as some information about 2019 season.

2018 were had 21 members per meeting - 2019 we have 21 members per meeting

146 members and guests attended the seven meeting during 7 meetings of the 2019 season

Income for the 2019 season consisted of £5613 - members payments, £695.00 subs paid and £620.00 from the raffle. (Weston Super Mare not included). Total Income £7278

Expenses for the 2019 season consisted of £5122 - Course payments, £610.00 deposit paid to secure bookings, Prizes awarded £1599.39 (Weston Super Mare not included) Total Expenditure £7331.89

Loss made of £53. 89

(a)The loss was due to the Society paying £14.00 per member to play Castle Coombe

(b) Members cancelling at the last minute and being charged by the courses as we had given final numbers.

Overall, the society has done well with the prizes being awarded are far greater than before 2018 season and the Par 3 Competition.

Proposed Schedule for the 2020 Season

Courses are Burnham & Berrow (Captains Day), Celtic Manor Golf Resort, Orcharleigh Golf Club, Oake Manor Golf Club, Bream Golf Club (Presidents Day), The Manor House and Weston Super Mare.

The Average cost paid last year for each round was £47.00. To play these courses the average cost for the 2020 season is £51.00

New Competition - Proposal

An Order of Merit ran over the season with points being awarded on the finishing places of each golfer. Winner 100 Second 90 Third 85 and fourth 80 and thereafter 1 point less for each position lower. During the season 3 Championship events will be held where points count as double.

At the end of the season the top players will compete for the Champion Golf of the SWTGS.

Other Suggestions for the 2020 season

(a) Cups awarded at each meeting instead of the AGM so Trophies are awarded and received by the winner.This year 3 cup winners will not be present.

(b) Different Prize for the Par 3 Competition Winner?

(c) New Prize for the raffle?

(d) Captain Elect?

These are all proposals and I will update this page when the AGM has taken place.

Finally the secretary failed to make the 2018 AGM but as promised he is attending the 2019 AGM although he wont be playing golf or be at the Trophy Presentation as the wife and his horse "No Hidden Charges" is running at Cheltenham in the 2.00 pm Ballydoyle Novices Hurdle.
