Business House has started each Monday & Tuesday nights and all is going well.  We have 9 teams this year, as one team pulled out.

 

We have a core of regulars who play each Thursday night, but if anyone is interested in playing, names in by 7.15pm please.

 

We’re also looking at maybe making a rule change as on or two people are not happy that there is NO penalty for a foul shot.  If you have any suggestions Mike or Sherrill would like to hear from you.  (It has been suggested a free handle for each foul shot!!!)

 

Also in mid July there is a Friendship Tournament played over 2 days at Waihi Beach Memorial R.S.A Club.  It is a Pairs Tournament and Ball In Hand Rule applies.  Entry form will be on the notice board nearer the time.

 

 

Snooker Section

 

Newsletter

 

Club Night continues on Thursday evenings starting at 7:00pm.  Anyone wishing to join in is welcome.  All it costs is membership of the snooker section and $3.00 towards prizes on the night.
 

Our League Team is struggling to compete with the other teams in a strong competition.  The Round Robin finishes soon before teams are placed in three divisions for the play offs.
 

Members are reminded that the $5.00 subscription is now overdue.  Anyone still to pay, please do so.
 

We are hosting a visit from the Tokoroa Club on Sunday May 9th.  We are expecting 8-10 players from our Southern neighbours and a similar number from Cambridge.  It should be a successful day.
 

The Honesty Box system continues to bring in welcome income.  Since its inception in September 2009 we have banked over $500.00, this helps when we have to recloth table, an expensive exercise costing over $1000.00 per table.  All contributions help.
 

In the next few weeks we will set dates for the first of our club competitions.  This year we will play the handicap singles and drawn pairs on two Sundays.
 

Members are reminded to read the notice board in the Snooker Room for up to date news.  I will try to keep this updated regularly.
 

The World Snooker Championships has been won by Neil Robertson of Australia at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.  He beat Graeme Dott of Scotland 18-13 in the final.  This is the first time for 30 years the title has not been held by the UK, since Canada’s Cliff Thorburn won.  Robertson is the second Australian to lift the title after Horace Lindrum’s victory in 1952.

Thank you to the 10% of club members who attended the AGM. It was probably the shortest AGM in this clubs history, but we still think we achieved results that day. As stated in my AGM report only (8) committee members were nominated and no positions were opposed and we think that’s pretty slack for a club of this size.  Congratulations to our previous committee, who stepped forward for another year, much appreciated and thanks to the four newbie’s for your time and effort.  Good luck to you all.

So far, this year, we have enjoyed some good rounds and the weather has been kind to us.

First to kick off the year was the ClubsNZ North Island Ladies Golf Teams Championship,  hosted by Ohope.  Cambridge was represented by - Bev Maguren, Kathy Hjorth and Pauline Shields.

We have visited Horsham Downs, Te Kowhai, Morrinsville and Huntly courses.

 

The attendance at some of the outings have been rather poor, last month saw a good turnout.  Well done guys.

 

Our annual interclub with Hamilton saw only four players from Cambridge and Hamilton's numbers were down also but it didn't stop Hamilton from winning the trophy by three points.  Kevin wasn't very keen on handing over the trophy, that he had on display at his home for a year.  Never mind Kevin, there is always next year.

 

Our programme from May to September is..16 May Hukanui, 20 June Matamata, 18 July Tokoroa, 15 August Waitarimu and 5 September Cambridge.

 

If anyone is interested in joining our small group of golfers, you don't have to be a member of a golf club, please feel free to contact either of the above.
