Returning Officer/General Manager

At the Board Meeting conducted 31 October 2016

the Board made the hard decision that towels will no

longer be supplied free of charge to members. This

decision was not taken lightly and has been discussed

at several Board Meetings.

Costs to the Club increase every year so we’re always

challenging what we do and this is the case here. So

far this year our Laundry has added a freight fee per

towel on top of our normal laundry fee as well as a

further increase notified to us in October. The total

payable to launder 1 towel has increased this year by

31.5%.

This change comes into effect as of 1 December. We

ask that you now bring your own towel. If you would

like a shower and do not bring a towel, they will be

available behind the bar for the cost of $2.

For Major Events, towels will be supplied Free of

Charge to all.

We thank you for understanding and we will continue

to look at ways to restrict costs and improve the Club.

FROM THE BIG CHAIR and a little PR

It is pleasing to note that our membership continues to grow and at print we currently have

446 members on our data base.

We will extend the husband/wife/partner and bring a friend membership drive and introduce

a 25% discount for new members to compete with our opposition.

I would like to acknowledge the great efforts of Shelley and Darren Chatley and Lynise and

Ross O’Dowd in making Sunday mixed golf the place to be and such a huge success.

A special thanks to Gary Hywood for sanding and to Paul Campaner for polishing the floor, it

has come up fantastic- well done guys.

As this is the last newsletter for 2016 I would like to thank all our volunteers for their work

through-out the year and wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I hope to see many of you at the A.G.M. on Wednesday 14th December

WEDNESDAY WONDERS

The season is drawing to a close with our AGM to be held on Wednesday 23rd November, fol-

lowed by 14 holes of golf and presentation of the season trophies. Several committee positions

are still vacant and it would be great if some of you could volunteer. We have a great club it is

because of the volunteers who do a good job.

I would like to sincerely thank all the ladies who have donated in any way over the year – you are

all so very generous.

Our Crescent Conveyancing Invitation Day was held on 14th October. A great day was had with

76 ladies participating. Great to have a new sponsor and they have agreed to carry on next year.

The event was won by Khanungnit Wheeler and Heather Dabrowski.

Our Patroness and Vice Patroness event was held over the last 2 weeks and the major winner

was won by Lyn Kowal and Glenice Rogers won the Vice Patroness’s trophy.

We held a small Melbourne Cup at the club and it was enjoyed by all who attended. Many thanks

to Di Getley for her help in running the sweeps, also to Val Sawyer who made a cake for a raffle.

Don’t forget our annual Christmas Lunch, to be held this year on 16th December. If you see any ex

members, please invite them to come along and join us. $10 gift and a plate of food to share is

the only requirement.

It is with pleasure that I let you all know that the Capel Golf

Club is now a sponsor of the Dalyellup Beach Cricket Club.

We continue to look at ways to promote the Club, espe-

cially within our local community and this certainly ticks

that box. We wish the DBCC all the best for the remainder

of the season.

Junior Football Club and the Dalyellup Dinosaurs AFL Mas-

ters.
