Resignation of Treasurer

By

Dear Members,
Irene and I have decided that we do not wish to renew our membership for 2025 and with effect from 16th February we will not be members of SVGC. In accordance with the Club Constitution, I cannot then hold any position on the SVGC Committee. I have therefore today tendered my resignation as Club Treasurer to the acting Club Captain with immediate effect.
I have handed over all of the cash within the Members Funds previously under my custody, a total of €2,807, and have received a signed receipt from the Acting Captain to that effect.
I shall now be unable to attend the forthcoming AGM to deliver the Treasurer’s Report to the Members and so I have uploaded a written report to the Member’s portal in the section where Income and Expense Reports are posted.
Could I suggest to each and every Member, who last year signed a petition to remove me (and my hard working Committee colleagues) from office, that they now consider devoting a substantial amount of their time to provide a service to Members on a completely voluntary and unpaid basis and volunteer to fill the Treasurer position that I now vacate – failing which yet more responsibilities which should rightly be held within the structure of the Members’ Committee may instead be transferred to a paid contractor of Management, reporting to Management.
I wish to advise that, on Wednesday 29th January, I wrote to the Proprietor (with copy to the Vice Captain) to seek assurances from the Proprietor that (1) in accordance with section 4c of the Club Constitution, the Committee had full responsibility for the organisation of club competitions and (2) the Proprietor would honour the Club Constitution.  I am pleased to say that the Proprietor promptly confirmed that “the Committee is responsible for organising golf competitions and social events – that is 100% clear”. The Proprietor further confirmed that it would be “up to the Committee to decide on how to operate to fulfil this responsibility”.  The Proprietor additionally confirmed their full respect to the Club Constitution and I thank the Proprietor for these clear assurances.  A copy of that correspondence has been passed to all Committee Members.
With best regards,
Matt Wake

– Thieving Update

By

Dear Memberp
Further to my email on Friday.  I am told today by Minthis members at the CGF event, that they were targeted yesterday.
Members locker(s) were broken into and cash and cards were removed from wallets and the wallets put back!
Please keep valuables to a bare minimum and on your person.
There might be a chance the person is dressed “like a golfer”.
Both Aphrodite and Elea have been informed.
Sad times
Kind regards
