Course Update
- Today was day #1 of the bunker Refurbishment program. With 17 volunteers, the secretary/manager and 4 greens staff, a good team was available. At the end of the day 2 bunkers are ready to return to play and the others are ready to receive sand. The guys worked their butts off and a beer was a very welcome finish to the day.
Tomorrow the team (plus any additional members who wish to add their sweat) will complete the project. There are likely to be some clean up duties still to be completed, but it is hoped that most bunkers will be back in play for the Wednesday competition this week. So you better brush those cobwebs off your sand wedge!! You also might notice that the bunkers are shaped differently than they were. This is the first major bunker refurbishment in memory (or for at least 40 years), so they have been hit very hard.
- Members might have noticed a new tab on the right hand side of the Captain's Blog page on the club website. This tab will show a table of current trophy holders (men only at this stage), and includes winners from 2019 as well. As a trophy is completed the winner's name will be added.

Good evening everyone,
This is the news that you have all been waiting to hear! We are excited to announce that our very popular First Friday Dinners will be returning on Friday 5 February 2021!
To full comply with current COVID-19 requirements, the following should be noted.
1. Maximum capacity for each dinner is 70 guests
2. 2 tables of 10 guests will be available in the Oxley Room - opposite the bar
3. 50 guests will be permitted in the Hordern Room with a maximum table size of 8 guests
4. Similar to previous years, there will be a buffet table, however staff will fully serve each guest.
THERE IS MORE!
Due to the reduced capacity there will also be a Third Friday Dinner on Friday 19 February 2021, with the same seating and service arrangements.
STILL MORE!
Back by popular demand, our Friday takeaway dinners will return on Friday 26 February 2021
Now the details:
For our First Friday Dinner, the menu is Legs of Roast Lamb, carved at the buffet table and served with Roasted Lemon Potatoes, garlic paste and salads, followed by a dessert of Honey Cardamom Panna Cotta with Rose Petals and Pistachios.
For our Third Friday Dinner, the menu is the very popular Coq au Vin with creamy Mash and Steamed Greens, followed by a dessert of Orange Jaffa cake.

Voice messages can be left on the bar phone and the time stamp used to prioritise bookings. These are the only available booking methods. As you would be aware in previous years, these dinners were often booked out months in advance, so please get in quickly only by email or phone. Your booking will be confirmed as soon as possible.
The menu for the takeaway meals will be released at the start of the last week in February and orders will open then.
We hope to continue in subsequent months, so we will monitor and assess during February and advise at the earliest opportunity.
Looking forward to seeing you soon. Let the fun begin!
