President’s ReportHappy new year to all the my fellow Directors, Management, Staff and Members of the Club, I hope the festive season treated you well and 2014 brings you health and happiness.
The change-over has officially taken place with Shane Atkins stepping up as the new Club Chief
Executive Officer filling the shoes of the long serving Gorden Stevens who retired at the end of December. We all look forward to Shane’s leadership and experience.
The current Club renovations are on track. The concrete slab has been formed and the next stage will consist of the construction of a koi fish pond that will be built adjacent to the outdoor area. I look forward to seeing what 2014 brings for the Club.
