RBGC Presidents Report for July 2011

As the end of the financial year upon us, we can reflect on what I would consider to be a successful year under the circumstances.
 
We are fortunate to have avoided the losses some of our neighbouring Clubs have incurred due to the wet weather.
 
After losing over $70,000 in green and competition fees due to wet weather and a similar amount from abnormal payouts on gaming, the Club is expected to finish with a profit for the year, a situation that appeared unlikely around Christmas.
 
This is mainly due to the excellent work our Manager, Aaron Muirhead, with the support of the Board, has done in attracting weddings and functions and organising members and visitors promotions.

In addition, the Club has continued to improve our dining experience with menu variations and dining promotions was has attracted increased clubhouse dining patronage. It would also be remiss of me not to thank our chef, Peter Thomas, for his delivery of quality meals for in-house dining and catered functions and weddings.
 
The Board is continuing to be proactive in management of both the Golfing and Clubhouse activities. We continue to try new activities or functions. Some will work, some don't.
 
We strive to continually improve our facilities (both on course and clubhouse) in order to offer our members and visitors excellent facilities and quality service.
