Let the Good Times Roll!

A big Thank You to everybody who made the Membership Evening such a success on Wednesday night. First of all, thank you to all our guests. There were 13 of them if you count Rob, Robyn and Graham as guests and who knows, we might just snare one or two for the club. We certainly tried our best to persuade them.
     Thank you too to all the members who brought guests. Social evenings have netted us new members before and will hopefully do so again.
     Lastly, a big thank you to the Parkview Golf Club, who looked after us so well and helped to make the evening such a success.

Debbie with Greg and no, that's no mistake, their guest was also a Greg!

     Everyone agreed that the format worked well, especially as the club had put out tables and chairs for about 30 people on the verandah of the clubhouse on a beautifully warm Highveld evening. The pizzas were great, the wine and beer flowed and the conversation was stimulating. What more could you ask for!
     It's now up to members to try to entice their guests to a meeting or two to see if they will join the club.
