The Agenda for the meeting is attached here.

The Minutes of the 2018 are attached here.

Winter League was due to start on Sunday, 3rd November at 08.30 but postponed for one week because of the weather.

After four fixtures, Team A are top of the table, ahead by 1 point from Team D.

The latest table is here:

There is one fewer team in the League than last year, but it is expected that it will still be contested in true tradition, hard fought, keenly contested, but respecting the opposition, in the spirit of fair play, and finishing with the customary drink with the opposition in the bar at the Captain's ball-draw.

Good luck and enjoy.

Winter League Rules

The 2019 main season at Alderley ended on Saturday with the traditional closing sides.

Good competition, good company, good causes, and good food all washed down with plenty of liquid refreshment made for a really great event.

The Captain's team were convincingly beaten by Mr President's men and Mr President took obvious pleasure in handing the Captain the wooden spoon.

Mr Captain presented the remaining major trophies as follows:

- JJS Kennaugh Trophy    2^nd – Andrew Boyle (406)      1^st - Andrew Marshall (404)   

NB if your not in it call in at the office and get yourself in, the draw raises money for the club and you get a chance to win. What more could you ask for?

Finally it would be remiss of me not to thank our outgoing Caplain Pete Wood for a second year in the role, what a great job he has done.

The Medal Final on 28th Sept was played in conditions that les called "borderline" in his early morning course message.  It was very wet underfoot, but two players who've had consistently good performances all year managed the conditions better than the rest.  The CSS of 69 reflected the difficulty on the day.

In each Monthly Medal from April to September, the top 2 in division 1 (Handicaps 0-14) and the top 2 in division 2 (Handicap 15 to 28) qualify to play in the Medal Final.  The tankards that were won each month and in the final used to be prized trophies, but times have changed, and the winners now receive golf vouchers.

Andy Boyle won the Medal Final by four shots with a nett 67, bringing his handicap down a further shot to 12.  Matt Robinson came second with a nett 71.

Gary Johnstone won the subsidiary competition with a gross 75, nett 69.

Members - I thought you all might like to know that AEGC have won the Gents 9 Hole League this season, narrowly edging out Flixton GC.

I’d like to thank Steve Jakub “Captain” and all those who played and supported the team, and also Max for organising the home fixtures and being part of the team.

Well done to all concerned.
