Farewell – This month we said farewell to Greg Hoare after over 23 years with the Club working in the bar, office and on the course. Greg and his wife Sandra will be moving up the coast to be closer to his mother and their grandkids. We wish Greg all the best in his retirement and many years of great bowls and golf and other leisure activities.
