Dress Code Change:- Members are advised that following a request from numerous members the council have decided to relax the dress code within the clubhouse for a trial period. With immediate effect the wearing of denim and non collarless shirts will be allowed in the family Lounge (not in main lounge). Such clothing must be smart & tidy (not material with "holes" or "cuts"). It is hoped that all members will use common sense during this trial. The dress code for the course has not changed. Football colours are not permitted.

Metal tee caddies:- All members are reminded that all broken tees should be placed in these containers and not left lying about. It not only makes the surrounding area untidy but can also cause damage to the mower blades. Your cooperation would be very much appreciated.
