Board Report - Update on recent wind damage – 27th October
Following the severe wind damage on 27th October, we are once again working with our insurance company to progress the necessary repairs — not an ideal situation, but one we are pushing through.
As many of you will have seen, there is significant damage across the course, including the complete destruction of the toilets on the 10th, missing spouting from both the greenkeepers’ shed and the clubhouse, cladding torn from the clubhouse, an upstairs window blown in, and multiple fences destroyed.
One of our biggest challenges at the moment is clearing the fallen trees, particularly those blocking fairways. While good progress has been made, the clean-up is time-consuming and our greenkeepers are still needing to prioritise their day-to-day tasks.
We are currently gathering quotes for the various repairs, and once approved, we hope to move forward quickly with restoration work.
We are also looking into bringing students on board to help pick up the vast amount of debris across the course. As always, any volunteer time from members is greatly appreciated — this remains one of the most pressing tasks. Thank you for your continued patience and support.
