Check the website for the latest details as to how your team is doing and good luck to you all trying to make the cut as you play your remaining qualifying rounds.

Membership - It's getting to the time of year now when we need to start 'gently reminding' members that your 2012 annual subscriptions are due this month. Full membership is €500 plus the GUI levies and remember there are payment plans available. New members very welcome. Dont forget our new category for 2012 'Distance Membership' for just €200 plus GUI / LGUI levies. To qualify your primary residence must be 100km from Moate. Ideal for the golfer who wants club membership without huge expense. For further details check here on the website or contact Anna at 09064 81271.

FUNDRAISER - There will be a very exciting 'Rock 'n' Roll' Bingo held in Moate Clubhouse on Friday 17th February at 8.00pm. Tickets at €5.00 each are going fast but there are some still available from any member of the various club committee's. A bumper big crowd is expected to be lifting the rafters off the clubhouse. Players listen to the music, mark off the songs on their special Rock 'n' Roll bingo card and play for a win, very simple, very entertaining and very addictive!

Facebook - Lots of new 'friends' joining our 'Facebook' page which is great to see. Pop along and check us out. Lot's of photos going up there that I'm sure will be of interest to members and visitors alike.

CAPTAINS DRIVE IN ANNOUNCEMENT
The '2012 Captains Drive In' will be on Sunday March 4th and the entry list should be available in the club shop by this weekend. Entry fee is €10 per person and this MUST be paid when adding your name to the list. Please do not add names of people who might not turn up and thereby deprive members who are available the chance to play in this special event for our 2012 Captains Vincent Shelley and Eleanor Fitzpatrick.

The tee / team draw will be announced well in advance and will be published both here and on our facebook page. To assist in the smooth running of the event, thereby paying due respect to our new Captains, we ask that you arrive early, play with whatever team you are assigned to (even if it means forsaking your normal fourball pals) and most importantly of all - ENJOY THE DAY! More details will follow in due course.
