Captain’s Report (D Staton)

The Captain thanked all those who had participated in inter club matches and in monthly competitions.

He thanked Malcom Nightingale for all his work in maintaining the records for matches and for keeping the handicap records. He noted there was considerable scope for improvement in interclub matches especially in away matches.

The Captain noted that KEGGS were now integrated with KGC and that the KEGGS would be running the club’s seniors opens on 24 June & 2 Sept.

KEGGS need to recruit more members. The total membership remains at 31 the same as last year.

The captain felt that KGC should have a policy for the use of buggies to enable those with a disability or otherwise unable to walk round the course especially when the weather conditions were unfavourable.

The Captain thanked the President/Treasurer and Secretary for their work during the year. He thanked Frank Taylor for organising the Christmas lunch.

Bill Broekuizen endorsed the Captains view on the use of buggies and proposed that KEGGS should make a strong representation to KGC to ensure those with disabilities were able to use buggies to play golf and that KGC should have a policy to avoid disability discrimination. This was agreed unanimously and the secretary is to write to KGC accordingly.

Treasures Report:

Barry Coates issued the financial report: Income £491.47 Expenditure £397 with Cash in hand of £94.47. KEGGS have committed to sponsor the 14^th tee marker to the extent of £300 over 3 years. It was agreed the Christmas gifts to the Green staff and Caterers would continue. Acceptance of the accounts was proposed by F Taylor and seconded by D Clarkson. Agreed unanimously. It was agreed that KEGGS annual fee should be increased to £7 and that £0.50 from Monday roll ups should go into the KEGGS funds.

Secretary’s Report: A list of the agreed team matches for 2020 was provided. The new venue just agreed with Wilpshire will be held at Kendal on Thursday 20^th August (not Wed 19^th).

In view of the new world handicapping system coming in on Nov 2020 it was agreed that all Monday roll ups in summer conditions would be qualifying stableford competition. Monthly competitions could also be run as individual qualifying competitions should the organiser so wish. (This would help those who are not able to play on Mondays). Regarding scramble competitions it was agreed that for 2020 the average handicapping system would be used and the results reviewed to report back to the AGM in Dec 2020

Away day. The committee proposed that the 2020 away day should be on a links course, 3 options were suggested Silloth, Seascale and Furness. It was agreed that Silloth should be the main away day at a cost of £50 including food, using county cards. The secretary reported that there is reciprocal arrangement between KGC and Skipton GC, however it only applied up to a max of 8 players. A secondary away day could be organised say for 20 players with 8 reciprocal and 12 with county cards, This would work out at £11 each plus food at £16. This was agreed.

The following were elected unanimously:

Captain: David Staton

Vice-Captain Mike Cleasby

Treasurer: Barry Coates
