Chairman's Corner

No.28, February, 2010

Country Wide

The NSWBA Council owes a great debt to the volunteers like Trish Carter and Louis Koolen (and their predecessors) who generously give their time to champion the interests of country clubs.

One of my goals for 2010 is to see if we can spread the load. I would love to hear feedback from country players or administrators on how we can set up better links. Perhaps we need a network of contacts across regional NSW to liaise with their representatives on the NSWBA Council and maybe meet in Sydney or elsewhere once a year to discuss common issues?

Please let me have your views – you can email me at the address below or write via the NSWBA office.

Oh, What a Feeling

Climate change or no, it’s been a hot summer. We can breathe a sigh of relief that the air conditioning in our Goulburn St premises has coped adequately, with the exception of one infamous night in February when a fault in the building control system left us entirely without aircon ... and, in keeping with Murphy’s Law, it happened on one of our biggest nights. Ah, the wonders of modern technology.

Apologies again to those who endured the heat. We believe it was a once-off, but we will keep in close touch with the building management on the subject!

Bruce Neill
Chairman NSWBA
