We held our AGM yesterday evening in the Gold Coast Hotel which was attended by a large number of members. President Roy got things under way introducing Captain Brian who gave a wonderful speech on his year in Office. Secretary Frank gave a well written report of the club’s happenings during the past year. Treasurer Micheal gave a glowing report on the finances of the club showing us in a healthy position going forward into 2026. We then had the election of the officers for 2026 who are as follows:
President Alan Darcy
Captain Johnny Hughes
Vice President Nicholas Power
Vice-Captain Noel McCann
Secretary Frank Mulvihill
Treasurer Micheal Wall
Handicap Secretary Martin Morris
Our End of year Presentation night took place last Saturday, full report in next week’s notes.

DONNCHADH DUNNE ELECTRICAL W.E.S. WINTER LEAGUE 2025/2026
Our Gents Winter League has entered its fifth week. Thanks to everyone for making a great effort so far. Qualifying rounds continue until 22nd February 2026. Each competition is played over 18 holes, with a daily competition fee of €8 for the first 10 rounds entered and €5 for all subsequent rounds. Players can play on any day and as often as they wish during the qualifying period. To give your team the best chance of success, each player is encouraged to complete at least 10 rounds. Thank you to everyone for taking care to record points and totals correctly on scorecards and the computer — it enables us to process cards quickly and helps keep the league running smoothly. To follow your teams progress, scores can be viewed weekly on the club website news section. It was decided at the last committee meeting, due to the uncertainty of supply, that there would be no turkey prizes this year. From Monday 17th November to Sunday 14th December, the competition prizes for the Winter League will be Hams.

ANNUAL LIONS CLUB CHRISTMAS APPEAL
The appeal will run from the 1st of December until 7th for competition week and the tickets for two beautiful Hampers and other Prizes kingly sponsored by our members will run up to Sunday 21st December. We hope all members will support this worthy cause.
