The Warwick Sporters club recently held their AGM.
Outgoing President Keith Farrell and Treasurer Con Seibel confirmed the Sporters’ Club had enjoyed had another sterling year in both golf and monetary terms. For those interested in statistics, in 2021 Sporters members played 2887 rounds of golf with an average weekly field of 63 players per round.
Despite another challenging year, Sporters donated in excess of $31K ( excluding water levies) to their parent club, the Warwick Golf Club. These funds were primarily to support to the purchase of new machinery.
It is interesting to note that in the four year period 2019 – 2022, Sporters donations to the parent club amounted to a little shy of $100K thereby contributing significantly to the much acclaimed presentation of our course.
The AGM also voted to maintain the annual subscription fees at $10 for the 2022 season but members were reminded that No membership equals No prizes.
The incoming Sporters Committee for the 2022 year is Terry Bennett ( President) , Don Warrener (Treasurer), Garry Hanson ( Secretary) with committee members Keith Farrell, Robin Farrell, Con Seibel, Bob Lester, Don Stewart and Trevor King.
In the face of the club’s strong financial position the new executive will be holding further discussions with the executive of the parent club to discuss contributing to further course improvements. Sporters annual subs for the 2022 year are now due.
