FINANCES
- We are getting close to our overdraft limit.

- Next year we may consider a discount of some kind for members who pay early.
TOURNAMENTS
- Kal Tire 2 man is sorted.
- Civic still needs a corporate sponsor.
- There was some discussion on whether or not practice rounds should still be provided at no cost.

green fees away for the entire day.

for the major tournaments going forward.
- There was some discussion on bringing back the Audrey Nightingale tournament.
ADVERTISING
- We have received an invoice from CJTT.
- Calendar has gone to the printers for printing.
