Although play has been interrupted by the weather members of the club have had a busy time recently. The group celebrated a Christmas lunch at the Warwick Golf Club on 1 December. The club also hosted a group of ladies from Freestone who enjoyed playing croquet and learning more about the game all made possible thanks to Robyn Kelly.
On Friday the club hosted 20 visitors, all volunteers and workers from Vinnies in Warwick. Once again, the experience was enjoyed by visitors and club members who hope these groups will join them on the lawn again in the near future.
