Just in case you missed this from an email late September

Re: A Friendly Hello from EMGC

Together, we are facing a truly unprecedented situation. The global coronavirus pandemic is

affecting all of our families, our businesses, our communities, and our way of life. During this

time, I wanted to reach out to you on behalf of the committee to say that we’re all connected

like never before.

We have an amazing club membership, with friendly rivalry and a strong competitive spirit.

Right now, we are being called upon to be our best selves, with patience, understanding and

compassion.

I am hopeful that sometime during the coming weeks, we will look at this difficult lockdown in

the “rear-view mirror”, as we come together to play the game that we love and sometimes

deplore. A suggestion: why not, if possible, take your pitching wedge into a park or the back

yard and get in some practice and save the enclosed mask for that ‘first game back’.

It is unclear right now as to when we will be back. However, as we go forward, we will be

sure to keep you updated. The Executive have been ensuring that the day-to-day issues of

the club are being taken care of via emails or mobiles. As many of you will be aware we

normally hold the Annual General Meeting in early September. The current lockdown has

resulted in an indefinite postponement of the AGM. You will be informed in due course of the date when we will hold the AGM. In the interim, please continue to stay-at-home and

observe physical distancing.

Thank you to all those members who have paid annual subscriptions, or utilized the

instalment plan, for this broken year. The club as a ‘not for profit’ organisation relies on its

members to exist. To those members who are uncertain of their future membership could

you please let Russell know of your plans so he can let the Treasurer know for budgeting

purposes. Also to the members who have stumped up to sponsor Game Day trophies, the

club thanks you.

Yours out of the Bunkers
