Members / Management Committee Zoom Meeting

Tuesday 9th June 2020

17:30 for 6pm start

 

The Management Committee has been conducting Zoom meetings whilst the Clubhouse building has been closed during the lockdown.

We would like to invite you to a meeting on Tuesday 9th June at 6pm to give you the opportunity to communicate directly with members of the Management Committee and for them to answer any questions or queries you have regarding all of the changes and what plans are in place to ease restrictions further on the road back to normality!!.

The Club’s Zoom account can only accommodate 100 participants at a time, so we would ask if you wish to be invited to attend you reply to the email address below. If the meeting is oversubscribed we will ballot for the spaces available and then add in further dates if there is requirement to do so.

Due to the nature and format of the meeting, there will be a number of ‘ground rules’ re participation:

1. The President will Chair the meeting, give a brief summary of:

- The Impact of Coronavirus to the Club

- The advice and guidelines that the Club has implemented

- The probable way forward of the lifting of further restrictions

 

2. If you would like to attend please email simon.greatorex@st-enodoc.co.uk with your name and whether your question (optional) is for Martin Gargan (President), Martin Biddle (Chairman), Bob Cruse (Captain), Kath Biddle (Ladies Captain), Graham Keeble (Treasurer), Simon Greatorex (General Manager) so you can be placed on a running order. If your think your question requires a detailed response, for example financial matters you may wish to submit it in advance. A running order list will be emailed 24 hours in advance of the meeting. You can attend without having to pre-notify a question.
3. If a question needs further discussion this will happen after the meeting has concluded and feedback will be offered accordingly.
4. When the running order for questions commences it will be listed on the chat feature on the right hand side of the screen during the meeting.
5. To avoid too much delay and the meeting lasting for too long all participants will be muted whilst questions are being asked and answers given. In the anticipation of a volume of questions we will not invite extensive debate from each question or answer. Members who wish to raise any matters arising from any of the topics discussed can forward them to the Club Office following the end of the meeting. enquiries@st-enodoc.co.uk
6. All participants will be required to join 15 - 30 minutes prior to the meeting commencing at 6pm - no participants will be admitted after the starting time.

 

Please be reminded that this is a first attempt to conduct a meeting in this format outside of the clubhouse environment and there may be a degree of patience needed by all that attend.

 

If any member needs any assistance enabling them to attend using the ZOOM software please contact either simon.greatorex@st-enodoc.co.uk or Ian Day on ianjeffreyday@outlook.com

Following further clarity from the government briefing on Tuesday 12th May and the Prime Minister statements in the house of commons yesterday afternoon this is an update to the reopening of the Courses from Wednesday 13th May 2020.

Over 70’s and those in clinically vulnerable groups should continue to follow the advice previously issued to protect their health. Therefore should members in these groups wish to take their exercise on the golf courses please be advised that they do so of their own volition and risk.

Holiday Parks, Guest Houses, Campsites and Hotels are not permitted to open and the Prime Minister has also reiterated that people should not be travelling to other households or to second homes.

Therefore members wishing to book a guest tee time are requested to ensure that the guest is only travelling locally to play at the Club.

Due to the ongoing restrictions the Club will be operating with a reduced number of staff and the following services are in place:

Changing Rooms open from 7:45 - 16:00 daily.

Pro Shop and Driving Range open from 8:00 - 15:00 daily.

For health and safety reasons the Club's Golf Buggies will not be available to hire.
