Quiz Night


Captains Report


Captains welcome
 
Firstly I would like to thank all that turned up in their great numbers to celebrate with all the new captains and past captains.
Josh stone, a great golfer and true young gentleman as Junior captain.
Graham Ball, a reliable club at heart fella as village 
captain.
Ray Whyman, a loveable and supporting drinking buddy as our Senior captain.
Adelaide Kirby, a beautiful and gentle women as our ladies captain.
And myself.
I may be the youngest captain but I assure you I will not be the weakest. I have the club at heart and will listen to all members in the hope to improving things.
Being captain is a privilege, an honour and in memory of my late father who introduced me to golf and this great club, a personal pride.
I am only as good as the people around me so without support I can't achieve what I have planned. 
The last captains Brian and Evie done a fantastic term and I want to follow in there footsteps so please support.

Secondly we have a few members that need appreciating.
Dave Tilley who after 6 years has left his position as secretary so with patience both Dennise Coker and Paul Burton can fill such an important role.
We have a good team of committee members also.
Jim Lawrence 
Debbie Juul and Adelaide Kirby 
House- Len Turner.
Greens- Derek Thomas.
Match and handicap- Gary Brazier and Len Turner.
Social- Evie Simpson and Steve Carter.
Any concerns or matters arising please speak to one or all.
Lastly but most importantly this great club we all belong to has certain selling points.
The welcome.
The food.
The course.
With the new appointment of our new chef Patrick, I'm sure we will have food of the highest quality.
The course all year round is in great condition especially now with Derek Thomas helping Dave Willis and his team.
So a reminder about the way we conduct ourselves in front of fellow members, staff and guests, must be civilised and respectful so Mitcham Golf Club can be welcoming for everyone.
I shall continue with monthly reports after every committee meetings.
Happy golfing.
Peter

Captain's Charity


Captains’ Charity 2012


There seems to be some confusion over the cheque 
presented to Help For Heroes totalling £3250 at the end of 2012. It should be noted that the 2012 Captains, Brian & Evie, Mitcham Village Captain & Vice, Neil & Graham, the Ladies section, Archie and his staff, many poor shots into the bunkers on the 18th, not to mention raffles held at quiz nights and on various golf days, and random donations from members and their guests raised an impressive £1750. 
A further much appreciated £1500 was raised on 
Charity Day.
Times may be tough, but it is sincerely hoped that we will spare a thought and continue to support the 2013 Captains’ Charities.
