Society Members Query

Dear members there are some issues that I would like to introduce to you and have your comment:

1. What to do with the anual member fees (25€ each)that weren’t spent?
My suggestion is after deduced all expenses , put it behind the bar at Chez Carlos – Our Club House, as it is almost impossible to do some kind of event where we can get all members here at the same time.

2. Where to go on our anual January trip and when? Suggested Dates 21th to the 25th January in Lisbon, Estoril/Cascais area; play the golf courses around there ( Quinta da Marinha, Oitavos; Penha Longa and one other ).

3. Handicap system – during these years we have had a buffer zone of 32 to 36 points. I suggest a buffer zone of 35 / 36 points, to offer a chance to the players witch scores are around 30pt, to receive more shots and improve theyr chances.

4. Social / Competition with members of Boavista Golf Club. It seems that the best is 14/11. I would like to confirm and that members who wish to participate, please confirm in advance for the Boavista members can also organize themselves.
