On Saturday, the club held its presentation night at the Seymour Club.

Presentation: New president Matt O'Sullivan, life member Graham Welsh and John Muscovich.
New club president Matt O’Sullivan congratulated outgoing president Sue McCall for her leadership at the club over many years. There was also a presentation of a life membership to Graham Welsh for his hard work and commitment to improving and growing the golf club over his years as a member.
Life member Pat Dawe was invited to present the book she has created showing a history of the club in pictures and stories.
