From December 1st we are now into the 2025 season. I realise some members believe our year begins April but the subscription and playing year begins on December 1st through to November 30th. The anomoly is hosting the AGM in February and then getting fees sent out at the end of the month, however, we have been doing it this way for over 130 years.

I have finished up the accounts and will meet the auditors on Monday. Council have agreed budgets for 2025. Once the accounts are agreed I will issue the annual booklets (via e-mail and upload to the Club V1 app) where members will have the opportunity to read all the reports and financial statements. I expect these to be sent mid to late January.

To those members paying by direct debit, there are two more payments due to clear the 2024 fees, January and February. No payment is made for March. If you wish to consider joining and paying this way contact the office in February after receiving the new fee schedule.

The provisional diary for 2025 is complete and I will start to upload it to the calendar in the next few weeks.

As always if any member requires information on club affairs the best way is to e-mail the office for a speedy response. bathgategolfclub@outlook.com

May I wish all fellow members a peacful and happy festive period
