PEOPLE STUFF:

HAPPY RETIREMENT – LYNNE HUDDLESTON

After 19 years as Principal of Pahiatua School, member Lynne retired this week. She has said she wants to play more golf, and we will be pleased to see her out on the course with the ladies on a Tuesday – or any day! She might even get the call up to play in our Silver Pennant team! Good luck in your retirement, Lynne.

NEW MEMBERS

Welcome to Nathan Lozell and Aaron Beardmore. Hope you enjoy your time out on the course. Please make them welcome when you see them at golf.

FAREWELL CLARRIE AND MARGARET MUDGWAY

Club stalwarts Clarrie and Margaret are heading to the Bay (Hawkes) to live. I’m sure all members of the club wish them both all the best in their new home. They will visit back down here from time to time, so you might see them.

The Club owes a big debt to Clarrie, especially in the use of his wood splitter, and of course, when he was well, he was one of our Chipmunks

CONGRATULATIONS WINNERS OF OUTSIDE TOURNAMENTS

Congrats to Pam Bisset on her win at Eketahuna recently and to Lindy Wheeler who won a recent 5-course tournament in Hawkes Bay and a further Vets tournament in Taranaki. Well done ladies.
