Trustee Report
In 2024 we held several internal competitions for club members, which were well-subscribed. 90% of club members took part in at least one competition, showing strong engagement from the membership. Our league teams performed well in the regional leagues, winning the Beds & Herts League and narrowly missing out on winning all other competitions. Our members were selected for representation at county and international level, and others reached the finals of the AC and GC All England Handicaps. All in all, a successful year maintaining our standard from the previous year and looking forward to further success in 2025.
