 AOB

Robert Knight, Pat Songhurst, Simon Fairfax and Barry Ledger all wished to thank the committee members for their efforts during the year to make it such a success and all look forward to 2015. 

Danny Smith and Martin Shaw discussed the option of playing some different courses in 2015 and not just relying on SIV venues when playing the monthly medals. The society discussed this and it may have been better suited as a rule proposal change but the consensus was that this is not a problem and all present at the meeting would be open to this. If any member of the society wants to book a medal day at a different course in 2015 then this can be trialed but it needs organising and if someone says they are going to book something then they must follow through with it and book the required number of tee times etc. If this turns out to be a success it could be discussed as a rule change in the 2015 AGM. 

Lee Rafter advised members that unfortunately Mark Ridgway has resigned from the society with immediate effect due to family/work commitments. Lee advised that Mark wished his £20.00 deposit to be put back into the society as a gesture of goodwill – Mark will be greatly missed as he was a regular attendee at events and we wish him all the best for the future. 

Andy Thickett queried about status of new polo shirts as a lot of members do not own one? Martin Shaw advised he will be happy again to contribute a set amount towards new polo shirts so this will be discussed at next meeting to find out numbers and choose a colour (not red!). Many thanks again to Martin for this kind gesture. 

Mark Gamban advised the society now has a twitter account so if anyone wants to tweet it is @jpgsociety. 

John Evans advised that he is glad he has recently joined the society and he is looking forward to 2015.

November medal – 4 times booked for Tinsley 09/11, tee times from 10.54 – 11.18.

Discussions took place regarding tee time and venues and RK to obtain from Nathan a contact number and name within SIV to try and sort out tee times in block.

Report from committee members regarding 2013 activities:

Captain – Dave Thickett

Firstly sorry I can't make it tonight but the pain in my back just won't go away.

I have enjoyed my year as captain & although organising an away day can be slightly stressful but it's also good fun and as long as people enjoy it then its job done!

The society seems to be going strong with great turn outs at most medals & away days, much of the credit for this I think goes to our departing secretary who's done a great job of holding the meetings & informing everyone of tee times & venues etc. The good turn outs means more raffle money which helps with the increase in price of spirits for the Xmas classic prizes.

So its time for someone else to be captain for next year so lets have some volunteers for all committee jobs especially the treasurer & secretary and keep the society going and lets have a great 2014.

President – Andy Dobson

Andy advised he has enjoyed the year very much and he would be willing to continue on the committee for another year if members were happy for this.

Andy passed on his thanks to all members for their support in 2013.

Round of applause and thanks to Andy from all members in relation to his efforts and contribution to the society during his time as president.

Treasurer – Mark Ridgway

Mark gave summary of JPGS finances so far in 2013. Recent lottery winners were advised of their wins and were given option of taking winnings or putting this towards their subs.

Mark passed to Mark Gamban a recent lottery win (minus subs Martyn owes) so he can pass this onto Martyn Barnett.

Mark expressed the need for all members to try and get their subs paid up to the end of the year ASAP to cover the upcoming spend on spirits. Discussion took place in regards to money in the club and if we can afford spirits for all? Graham advised this can continue as it has done in previous years and the budget for 2014 will reflect any shortfall so the prize money for next years away days will be altered accordingly.

Mark advised at the last meeting he will be standing down as treasurer and a round of applause and thanks went to Mark from all members in relation to his efforts and contribution to the society during his time on the committee.

Handicap Secretary – Andy Thickett

Andy passed around last medal results and GOY positions discussed.

Andy advised he is happy with the way the handicaps have worked this year and that these have been far fairer.

Round of applause and thanks to Andy from all members in relation to his efforts and contribution to the society during his continued time as handicap secretary.

Secretary – Robert Knight

RK thanked all committee members for their contribution this year and for arranging some great away days.

RK also thanked Graham Allen for sorting the medal golf times during the year – this has at times been a very time consuming process depending on the course we are playing at and also thanks to Dave Thickett for the work he puts into JPGS website.

RK congratulated all 2013 away day winners (Mark Ridgway, Craig Jackson, Danny Smith & Howard Young).

RK congratulated Danny for winning GOY for 2013 – well deserved for a very consistent year.

N/A 

Captain’s comments

Apologies sent by Dave as unable to make meeting but he wanted to pass on his thanks to Andy for arranging recent away day at Thorne. 

President’s comments

Apologies sent by Andy as unable to make meeting due to work commitments. 

Treasurer’s report

Mark wanted to also pass on his thanks to Andy for recent away day at Thorne. 

Mark gave summary of JPGS finances so far in 2013. Recent lottery winners were advised of their wins and were given option of taking winnings or putting this towards their subs. Mark advised that the budget for 2013 is well under plan and we should have no problem funding bottles of spirits for Christmas Classic for all members as per previous years. 

Mark advised that he is happy to purchase the spirits this year after RK has obtained each members preference. 

Mark advised there may in fact be a cash surplus this year due to the increase of attendees at medals and majors so this could be put towards the prize funds for 2014 – agreement to discuss this at AGM. 

Mark advised that there is a slight anomaly on the balance sheet of £53.96 and he needs to speak to Craig (last year’s treasurer) to clarify if Mark has been entering some figures in the wrong column. Mark has left a message for Craig to contact him so he can go over this. Mark advised that if this transpires to be an error by himself as treasurer he is responsible so will cover the shortfall – hopefully this is not the case and it is just a matter of certain totals being entered into the wrong column. 

Mark advised that he will be stepping down as treasurer at the AGM and trusts someone else will step into the breach. 

   Handicap secretary’s report

Apologies sent by Andy as unable to make meeting due to work commitments but he wanted to pass on his thanks to all for attending his recent away day at Thorne and he hoped all enjoyed the day. 

Secretary’s report

RK echoed previous comments in regards to thanking Andy for recent away day at Thorne. RK also apologised again to Barry for not including him for this away day as RK, and Andy, both thought he was still on holiday. 

RK queried who wishes to play in the next medal on Sunday 13 October which we hope will be at Tapton. 5 times need to be booked and Jay advised that he is happy to book these as he knows Taptons club pro quite well. Jay to let RK know of times when booked and RK will then pass this onto all. 

A O B

Pat advised that John Sikora is stepping down from the society due to personnel commitments. Mark passed Pat £15 from his original deposit money (NB. after meeting Mark sent Pat a text to advise he forgot to pass a recent bonus ball win for John to him so this will be passed to Pat at October medal to forward on). 

Lee also advised that Brendan Moore is also stepping down from the society due to work commitments. Mark passed Lee £21 from his original deposit money plus lottery subs that he was in credit. 

RK advised that the 2 people on the waiting list, Richard Wood and Russ Budd, are now able to be put forward as members of the society so Jay / Pat / Danny to invite them to the next meeting so the voting-in process can be undertaken for them. 

Pat wanted to thank all committee members for arranging some great away days in 2013 and for the general smooth running of the society and he hopes this continues. 

Chris (seconded by Mark) wanted to pass on their thanks to RK for arranging the recent golf trip to Scarborough and they both hope this type of trip can be repeated in future years. 

RK advised that the next meeting is the AGM so if any members wish to put forward a rule change this needs to be proposed in writing and also seconded and submitted to RK before the meeting starts – we will not be discussing any matter that is not on the agenda during the AGM or that has not been presented to RK prior to the start of the meeting. 

RK also advised if you wish to become part of the committee please give this some thought as a number of roles will be available for election and we need a committee to continue. 

Actions required for next meeting

·         Mark to speak to Craig to rectify cash difference on balance sheet

·         RK to obtain members spirits preference and pass onto Mark

N/A

Captain’s comments

Dave thanked RK for his recent away day at Renishaw and congratulations to Howard for winning the day with his vast course knowledge.

President’s comments

Andy thanked RK for his recent away day at Renishaw and stated it was an enjoyable day of golf but queried what happened with the booking?

RK explained that the booking that was made in January was not the one that was available on the day hence the letter of complaint to the club about this.

Treasurer’s report

Mark thanked RK for his recent away day at Renishaw and he echoes all other comments about the day

Mark gave summary of JPGS finances so far in 2013. Recent lottery winners were advised of their wins and were given option of taking winnings or putting this towards their subs. Mark advised that the payouts for bonus ball look well on track to be under budget for the year and increase in medal/away day raffle funds has also helped.

Mark gave £5 to Martin Shaw from society polo shirt for John Wordsworth.

Handicap secretary’s report

Andy went over the details for his handicap secretary’s day at Throne GC on Sunday 29 September and obtained number of attendees so he can start to buy medals/wooden spoons as this will be a team event again.

Andy passed around August medal results and revised handicaps.

    Secretary’s report

RK thanked all members for their attendance at his recent away day at Renishaw and hoped all enjoyed it – it was definitely a challenging course.

RK also advised that he has written to the club about the issues experienced with the cost, lack of bacon sandwich on arrival and no warm drinks being available. Many thanks also go to Gary for fetching 20 bacon butties from the nearby halfway hut.

RK returned to Mark £80 deposit money from his away day.

5 times booked for Birley for September medal on 14/09 – first time 10.14. Graham was unable to book Tapton or Beauchief due to lack of available times due to existing bookings.

A O B

Adrian queried process at last away day of giving prizes to guests first? RK advised that he did this to sort the guests out first and they did not have a free choice of the prizes as they were limited to what they could choose but RK accepted the point Adrian was making.

Discussion in general took place in regards to prizes for away days and that this year all committee members have spent over the allotted amount given to them by the club and going forward new committee members just need to be reminded this is not necessary.

Martin queried if we wanted new polo shirts as he is willing to part fund new shirts as he did previously. Many thanks again to Martin for this gesture and this will be added to November AGM.

Andy queried with Mark how much he will have for his away day? Mark advised £120 as per last year.

In regards this prize fund, Graham queried if this was necessary as the match play day was not meant to be about prizes and this was an extra day that was not really budgeted for and we need to make sure we have enough money for spirits for the Christmas classic at the end of the year. Mark advised this should be OK based on money coming in; Andy also advised he shouldn’t need all of this money.

RK advised that the AGM is fast approaching (November 7 meeting) and if any member wants to put forward an amendment to the rules they need to ensure that their proposal is put in writing and seconded by another member and handed into the secretary before the AGM starts – we will not be discussing any changes to the rules or the running of the society as a whole that has not been submitted in writing prior to the AGM starting.

Also in regards to the AGM, RK advised that he will be stepping down from the secretary role as he has done this for the last 2 years and it is somebody else turn. If anybody wants to join the committee please give this some thought prior to the AGM.

Secretary’s report

RK thanked Andy for recent away day at Styrup and congratulations again goes to Danny.

RK advised that 5 times booked for Tinsley between 10.14 – 10.46. Unable to book Tapton as

booking the tee times.

RK passed around his entry sheet for the next away day on Saturday 31 August at Renishaw GC – please add your name if you know you can attend. RK will send texts round to all to confirm attendance and details for the day in the coming weeks.

A O B

Richard Lightning advised that he is stepping down from the society due to his child’s football commitments. Richard up to date with his lottery subs so Mark returned his £20 deposit money. Members wished Richard all the best for the future and it was a shame his involvement was so short.

Alan wanted to apologise for his DQ issue at previous medal at Beauchief and he understands the reason for it (not putting out on the 18th) but he was a little frustrated about certain issues that were occurring within certain members who had completed their round and were stood outside the clubhouse having a drink.

Discussion took place about this and opinions were given about the actual event from a playing perspective and from people who had finished. After much discussion, RK summarised this issue and the crux of it is etiquette and a little bit more thought and consideration needs to be given at all times from all members in regards to conduct whilst playing golf – be this on the tee, on the green or when you have finished your round.

Andy Dobson wanted to thank Graham, Martyn and Robert for their help during the away day and that it was much appreciated and helped the day go smoothly.

Pat wanted to thank members for allowing a guest to attend recent away day at Styrupp and the guest enjoyed the day very much.

RK thanked members for their attendance at his recent way day at Owston Hall and he hoped all attendees enjoyed the day.

Alan wanted to query with Craig if his recent bonus ball win had been added to his subs as he requested as he didn’t think he was that far behind? RK to query this with Craig to clarify.

Handicap secretary’s report

Andy passed around results from last medal/away day with updated handicaps. Andy also discussed issue at last away day in regards to members DQs for incorrect stableford scores (NB. one card also marked as a DQ for incorrect handicap but this was not the case after discussion).

Discussion took place in regards to this DQ issue and the bottom line is irrespective of who marks a card it is the players responsibility to make sure it is correct prior to handing it in as it is the player who is DQd – never the marker.

Andy advised that his away day has been booked for Thorne GC on Sunday 30 September with tee times at 11.00am. Day consists of bacon sarnie at 10am, followed by golf and then meal for £22 pp. Andy discussed the away day in regards to this being a match play team event and passed around entry sheet for all members wanting to attend.

Also due to the limited amount of prize money we have for this day if any member has a prize they would like to donate (e.g. bottle of wine or spirits they are never likely to open) this would be greatly appreciated.

A O B

Barry wanted to thank all committee members who have arranged a golf day this year as he thinks they have all been a great success and the courses played and meals we have had have been brilliant.

Barry also queried if prizes from an away day could be given at a later date in case somebody won an event and was then subsequently DQd. Discussion took place about this scenario and the general consensus was to keep it as it is as part of the away day is receiving your prize at the end and it is a good way to end the day. Obviously if we have this type of occurrence going forward we may have to revisit this.

Alan queried what was happening in regards to polo shirts. RK advised Alan of offer from Martin Shaw in regards to part funding of shirts and this is something we are going to cover at Nov AGM.

Alan also queried if the society was open to a company sponsoring an away day/event to put some money into the club? Discussion took place in regards to this and the consensus was this is definitely an option and something we would consider. Alan to speak to a company he knows to see if they would be willing to put something forward.

Actions required for next meeting

·         RK to advise Craig of all money received from members at meeting and next medal so he can update finances

         RK to query with Craig if recent bonus ball win for Alan has been added to his subs as he requested?

Andy discussed issue at College Pines in regards to a lost card and the procedure for dealing with this.

Basically we have slightly over spent buying the Christmas Classic drinks.
The fact that we have added an extra Handicap Sec Competition and the poor attendances at Monthly Medals has affected the yearly income.

early in January 2012
With this in mind can everyone pay the first 5 weeks subs at the January meeting or medal?
This will generate the funds for use on Away Day deposits.

Minutes of last meeting accepted as a true record by:
Proposed: Steve Fletcher      /        Seconded: Alan Taylor


Matters arising from previous meeting
AT queried why proposals for AGM need to be in writing 1 month before (i.e. today). RK advised that he believed this request was put in to try and reduce the time the AGM takes as it is anticipated that it will be a long one due to the proposals already submitted. It was agreed that any proposals need to be with PR before the AGM commences – preferably by giving these to him prior to the actual meeting date.


Secretary’s comments
Absent due to holiday


Captain’s comments
Absent


President’s comments
Thanks to Andy for arranging the matchplay event as Roundwood. All players enjoyed the day and it is definitely something we should consider in the future.

Next medal is at Tapton on 23/10 and GA to attempt new SIV online booking facility. Graham mentioned that in future this way of booking tee-times may be problematic as the online system needs full names of all players playing on each time and there was concern that if people didn’t turn up the golf course may request the green fees for people booked onto play even if they don’t attend.

If Graham was unsuccessful booking online he would contact the usual SIV members to attempt the booking process as per normal procedures.


Treasurer’s report
Craig was absent due to work commitments but did send RK a text to pass on his thanks to AT for the recent golf day and he would be present at the next medal to collect subs.

Note to Craig for next medal / meeting. Concern was raised in regards to a suspicion that a few members may be close to going into arrears (i.e. over 8 weeks) which could result in them being removed from the society. Could these people be targeted prior to next meeting if at all possible?


Handicap secretary’s report
Andy apologised but he has not had time due to other commitments to print off the latest medal results, GOY points and up-to-date handicaps. AT will make sure these are available for viewing at the next medal.

AT thanked all members for their attendance at Roundwood and he hoped all players enjoyed the day.


A O B
BL queried difference between booking times online as opposed to phone. GA advised that the online facility enables you to now book 15 days in advance (phone only 9 days).

DT requested any comments or suggestions regarding JPGS website to be sent to him.

GA requested that both AGM proposals from him submitted at the last meeting to be discarded and removed from website.

AT AGM proposal 1: keep handicaps as they currently are but remove the automatic 1 shot drop for winning a medal or major.
Proposed: Andy Thickett    /     Seconded: Robert Knight


AT AGM proposal 2: increase of all handicaps based on length of time in the society against the number of shots dropped whilst a member. Maximum rise would be 5 (exception for Dennis). Full details of proposal in written submission.
Proposed: Andy Thickett    /     Seconded: David Thickett


Meeting closed: 9.35pm

Next meeting: Hollin Bush, Thursday 3 November at 7.30 pm.
Please note the next meeting is the AGM so please make every effort to attend and please note earlier starting time due to agenda and the time this may take
