Management Committee.
16/11 50/50 draw. For those of you who are already entered in the lotto draw, your lotto will continue until the end of your 26 week period. If you wish you can now or when your lotto ends top it up to the end of the financial year of the club (30 November). This move to start the lotto each year on the 1st of December is to facilitate easier monitoring and managing of the fundraiser. We thank all of you who continue to support this fundraiser and request those of you who have not yet participated, to please join the lotto, as it is an essential fundraiser for the upkeep and development of the course. The Management Committee.
