The EGU Affiliation Fees for 2012 are rising by £1 to £6.25 per member and the NGU is seeking an increase of £1.50 to £8.75 (to include a free County Card worth £15 for every member), making a total of £15 per member. I will be attending the Northamptonshire Golf Union Annual General Meeting this Thursday 8th December along with Robert Draper and Jack Marr. As you can see the increases to be proposed by the unions are somewhat higher than we predicted at our own AGM. If you have points that you would like raised at the meeting please email Priorshall@aol.com.

Thank you to the members who attended the Annual General Meeting
yesterday. I duly handed over the mantle to my good friend Alun Genner, I
know the club is in good hands. Thank you to the hard working committee who
helped us have a very good year.
Thank you to Jeff, Ian and Dave and their respective teams for working so
hard to ensure the well being of the club and the course.
On the down side it was agreed to raise the subscription by five pounds and
put the competition entry fees up by fifty pence. Despite vigorous
activities to control our costs it is the costs such as green fees and Union
fees increases that we have to cover.
Thank you to all the members for your support last year and the honour
of being club captain.

Thank you

Handicap and Competitions Secretary
Please find details of this years presentation night. Due to the
increased cost of the hall rental, disco and buffet we have decided to make
a very small charge of £2.50 per person. As we have managed to secure a much
sought after evening, the last day of working for many people, the venue
will be open to the public. We have already received interest in the evening
and ask that you obtain your tickets as soon as possible. Tickets are
strictly limited to 200 total and will be sold on a first come first served
basis.
Please contact Jack Marr or Jeff Bradbrook if you wish to purchase tickets.

We wish vice captain Alun Genner the very best following an
operation on his back. Son Ryan sent us this picture and said he is
recovering well although unlikely to play golf for six months.
Get well soon Alun and we look forward to your quick return to the club.

John Dowell has now retired as the Competitions and Handicap secretary.
One of the main reasons we get the results of the competitions so promptly
is thanked wholly to the commitment and diligence of John and his wife.
Although not able to play golf anymore because of back problems he has
continued to support the club by doing probably the most critical and
controversial job on the committee.
On behalf of the entire membership and the committee thank you John for
doing such a sterling job over the last few years.

Well done Steve Jackson
Congratulations to our good friend Steve Jackson for completing the
three peaks challenge. Steve is the reporter responsible for the golf page
in the Evening Telegraph every Thursday. If you were not aware, it
is a very good read of local and international golf interest. Thanks
to his enthusiasm and skills it has developed in to a two page spread
promoting golf every Thursday.
The challenge involves climbing a bit of a hill in England, a bit of a
bigger hill in Wales and of course a mountain in Scotland.
It has to be completed in 24 hours and takes about four to five hours for
each one. For those interested in trying, the statistics are:
