Matters Arising
The Chairman had reviewed previous minutes regarding the payment for B Team League. As this is not an official county league we would not authorise payment. The Chairman also advised the committee of a previous policy of spend with the members fund, that stated that the we would pay for match meals and entries for reciprocal County matches & Daily Mail or Mail on Sunday but any spend must be agreed by committee before entering other competitions or payments.

Competitions Committee Report
The season is going well although, at the moment entries are slightly down on last year.
There was a discussion about the new position of the white tees that was introduced to encourage more members to play in all competitions. The new white tee positions have been measured by not assessed for standard scratch. As a temporary fix we agreed to put the tees back on hole 3 and hole 12 and leave the tee on the 9th in its new position. This would be a fix for now as the course would have changed by less than 100yds.
