Payment of Away Day Balance

With all deposits now received, and one or two balances as well, it's time for all those going on the 17th of August to pay the outstanding balance of GBP 25.00 (preferably by cheque addressed to STRATHMORE GOLF CLUB) before Wednesday the 11th of August.

As with the deposit the balance payment should be made via the shop in an envelope addressed: FAO Ernie Wastell, stating its contents and the name of the golfer concerned.

Don't be late as the treasurer is off on holiday shortly after the above date and has to bank the cheques/money before he goes

SENIORS AWAY DAY - LAST CHANCE

Those wishing to accompany us to Thornton on the 17th of August but who have not put their names on the list and paid their deposits should do so by lunch time Thursday the 22nd of July. Those who have put their names down but not yet paid the deposit should also make sure that they have paid up by the same time.
