The re-arranged 28th Annual General Meeting of the Club, to be held on Thursday 8th July 2021, will go ahead but due to the continuing Government restrictions in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be held in a different format.

By adopting this format, it has allowed us to proceed with the 28th Annual General Meeting on Thursday 8th July 2021. This will also incorporate the Senior Section meeting and election of Junior Section Officials.

In accordance with usual practice, we called for nominations for Committee positions, and these are now closed and detailed on the proxy voting form.
We therefore request Members NOT TO attend the AGM but appoint the ‘Chair of the meeting” or the ‘Club secretary’ as their proxy, in advance of the meeting and NO later than 2.00pm on Tuesday 6th July 2021.

We are going to hold a quorate general meeting with only one or two attendees (Management Committee) and the rest of the members in attendance by proxy. The proxy form circulated has a list of all decisions for members’ approval and boxes to allow each member to select how they wish to vote.

A copy of the Treasurers report and set of accounts for adoption are detailed below for your information.

Thank you for your co-operation in allowing us to proceed in this most unusual year.

Worcestershire County Membership Card

Launch of new County Membership Scheme

All Men and Boys who are affiliated to a Worcestershire Club are entitled to a free County Card, through the payment of their normal affiliation fee.

The Scheme is run through Intelligent Golf, which the County uses for their website and competition package and is very simple to use when set up. Thus, the Intelligent Golf App is available to anyone (men and boys) in Worcestershire, and costs nothing to load onto their phone.

Please see below for details as to how to obtain the card.

The process is:

• Log into your normal app store on your phone.
• Search for ig golf (or intelligent golf) and then locate igCounty App – it is free.
• Load and Install the App.
• Enter the County Card part of the menu.
• Enter your details as requested – every member will need their CDH number (please note if you don’t have an official handicap you are not eligible for a County Card)
• Refresh the screen.
• County Card should be displayed, including County Logo, members name, current date, home club and handicap, and will be available every time you subsequently open the App and log in OR you can save the County Card to the “wallet” on your phone.

Obviously. you only need to go through the upload process once, and then the card is there forever, provided you remain a member of a Worcestershire affiliated club.
