Cart Usage

It's been two long months since we have had carts on the course. At the time of writing, I wish to advise that with a little luck the Club hopes to have carts back on course as of Wednesday 15 June 2022.

Member's Bar Levy

Please note that the members Bar Levy accounts (2021/22) will be zeroed at close of business 30 June 2022.

Green's Superintendent

Just a quick note to inform the members that the Club is now actively looking to recruit a replacement Greens Superintendent.

Presently we have advertised in Seek and Golf Recruitment Central, the Club has received eight applications and plan to start the interview process shortly.

We will keep you informed as the process continues.

Catering Update

Dear Members,

The Board have asked that I provide an update on how catering has performed financially since the Club brought the operations inhouse. This is not an easy assignment as catering and trade over the two periods to be compared lived through two very different environments with two very different structures. We are all aware that Forte, the Clubs previous supplier of catering, left the Club on 1 September 2021 when new terms could not be agreed upon.

The Club has traded strongly coming out of a covid lock down, then immediately facing space restrictions, not to mention the last 10 weeks of rain and course closures - bad for golf and by direct consequence, bad for inhouse trade.

The following table is a summary profit & loss for catering. It is for the period 1 November to 31 May 2022 Vs 2021 - this as we opened 20^th of October 2021. It is of a concise nature due to commercial sensitivity and legal boundaries set by the previous contractor's contract.

From the snapshot provided, we see the Clubs catering area this year has contributed an extra $75,156 than that achieved same period last year when the Clubs catering was sub-contracted. While I understand that the figures are in a summarised format above, the overriding indication is that bringing catering inhouse has been a positive move.

In short, while Club catering is doing well, we could have done better:

· The Club has now been in the food business for seven months - we are still learning and building - better monthly results will come as we hone our business.

· The ½ way house has contributed little over the last 3 months due to the rain and course closures. We expect a greater contribution on going from this area.

· The Club due to restrictions from Covid when we opened, were not in a position to charge AV or room hire - this not in effect until February 2022.

Set Up Costs

Please be aware that the above profit and loss snapshot doesn't include capital costs in setting the catering department up. For clarity, I provide that the Club did spend $44,500 in equipment and requisites. The investment is mostly of a "one off" nature in most cases (other than repairs & replacements) and the Club will not be faced with this significant cost on going.
