Dear Members,
It is a pleasure to serve as the Mandurah Country Club President, as we look forward to an exciting year ahead.
I welcome and thank fellow Board Members: Danielle Hunt, Graeme Parsons, Colin Evans, Jack Baynes and John Benbow for their nomination to the Board. Although we have collective areas of responsibilities to govern, the current priority will be to work through the new structure change and set up strong Governance processes and systems for all Sub Committees and future Boards.
Once completed, we will communicate this to all members and move onto Strategic Plan objectives, so I ask that the Chairs are given the time and space to undertake this priority task.
If you are interested in volunteering on Sub Committees, please contact and General Manager, Grant Shortland-Jones. The Sub Committees will form an extremely important part of reviewing, with recommendations to the Board.
We have started a very busy festive seasons with a busy golf course and daily functions.
Can I express to members the importance of your kindness and respect to employees during this period, and ongoing. Employees have the difficult task to manage all operations, ensure members and guests have a great experience, but they also must uphold the rules of the Club and Laws our Club must adhere to. Staffing is still and issue in Western Australia and it is imperative we create an environment that attracts great employees to our club.
If there is an issue to address, or any matters that members have a grievance with, this may only be taken up with the General Manger.
We have the Junior Fundraising day on Friday 15 December 2023, and it will be great to see some of current MCC touring Pro’s and past Professional’s come back to the club. Any room that will have Scrivy, Becker, Big Red, Toby, Gaz and all the crew will be great fun and not to be missed, whilst raising funds for the Junior academy. So get in quick and put your team forward.
On behalf of the Board, I wish you an enjoyable and safe festive season, with a very exciting 2024 ahead of us.
Kind Regards
Ron Stone
President
