General Club Noticeboard

The final Mixed Presentation evening is taking place this Friday, 7th October, at 7pm in the Clubhouse.

As it is late in the season, there will be the usual Friday mixed competition during the day rather than a special late afternoon event.

There will be nibbles available and Kate & Steve can provide the usual club menu for anyone who wants something more substantial.

We are looking forward to all winners attending, if possible, so please come along and cheer them all.  It might be you next year.

Friday 5 August was the latest Monthly Presentation Evening covering July and early August competitions for Gents and Ladies Sections.

The prizes for competition winners were presented by last year’s Captain Brian Pennington, Lady President Mary O’Toole and Club Professional Charles Le Sueur.

A selection of photos from the evening is included

Next Presentation Evening – Friday 2 September

I am pleased to let you know that the 2^nd 250 Club draw of 2022 was held on Saturday 23^rd July in the clubhouse following the 1^st round of the Gents Captain’s Prize competition.

Congratulations to the four lucky winners, as follows:

• 1st Prize (£400) – John Newsham 
• 2nd Prize (£175) – Andrew Towle
• 3rd Prize (£125) – Jordan Foden
• 4th Prize (£100) – Angela Foden

At present, we have just over 100 members of the 250 Club. Nevertheless, we are always looking for more people to join as every contribution goes a long way to supporting the Club. Each number costs only £5 per month, paid via monthly direct debit or standing order; a 250 Club Application Form is available if you would like to join.

We have four draws a year (roughly one every 3 months), with half of all proceeds going towards Club funds and the other half shared out in prizes. If 100 members all pay £15 over 3 months, it would give us £1,500 in the pot for the next draw. £750 of this would go towards Club funds whilst the rest is split between the four winners.

The 250 Club is a really great way of getting members up to the Club for the draw and supporting, in some small way, the future of Alderley Edge Golf Club.

Sunday lunches are back at Alderley Edge Golf Club! They will be provided on the last Sunday of each month, starting 31st July, with service from 12-4pm.

If you fancy a Sunday lunch, please call into the clubhouse or phone 01625 586200 (Option 4) to book your table.

The clubhouse is now open for food 7 days a week from 8am. Come out and check the new menu!

Alderley Edge Golf Club are very pleased to announce that SP Catering have been appointed to run the clubhouse bar and catering services, with effect from Monday 4 July 2022.  They have been contracted for an initial period of two years, with the option of extending this annually thereafter.

General Manager Kate Hetherington and Head Chef Steve Porter have many years of experience in the hospitality and catering sectors, including most recently at Eaton Golf Club (near Chester).  They will be bringing kitchen staff Leanne and Rick as part of their team.

All of our current clubhouse employees will transfer their employment to SP Catering.

It has taken a long time to reach the decision to outsource the running of our bar and catering services and to identify and award the contract to SP Catering, and a lot of hard work and effort has gone into this process.  We are grateful to members and our existing clubhouse team for their patience during this time, and we can now look forward to an enhanced catering service at AEGC.

More information about the new catering arrangements, menus etc. will be available in the clubhouse and on the club website in the near future.

Kate and Steve are keen to meet members and visitors to hear their views about ongoing services.  They will be at the club initially each day from Monday 4 – Friday 8 July and look forward to meeting as many members and visitors as possible.

I hope you will join me in welcoming the new team to the club.

Best wishes,

David Lee

Chairman of Council
