The following notes show the pertinent information from the 10th November Committee Meeting.

- Captains Report
Club Captain
The Club Captain welcomed everyone to the meeting, and reviewed the outstanding actions from the previous meeting as follows:

- Bell for the 12th Hole
No further action was reported on the possible installation of a bell on the 12th fairway for use for players about to play across the corner from the tee. To be discussed with the Green Keeper. 

- Tee Placement
No further action was reported on the concern about the placement of Tees with respect to distance and stance from the tee box. 

- Trophy Engraving
The trophies being presented at the Christmas Stableford need to be engraved with the winners names. An action was placed to collect the trophies and arrange for them to be engraved at ‘A Touch of Class’ in Yeovil. 


- Practice Nets
No progress was apparent on the re-installation of the practice nets in spite of an agreement with the Centre for funding bunker sand in return for setting up the nets. Discussions on the site for the nets had resulted in them being potentially sited where they were originally in the practice area. Further discussions are required with the Green Keeper.

- Christmas Stablefords
Club Secretary Toni reported that the numbers of participants for both events were increasing slowly. As previously discussed, the main trophies will be presented on the day. The meeting agreed to purchase the usual glassware for the monthly winners and an action was placed for these to be procured. 

- 2025 Arrangements
The secretary reported that the AGM was scheduled for Sunday 12th January. A list of officials being proposed for 2025 was in preparation. Names are outstanding for the Club, Hardy A, and 3 CL vice captains. Martin Blatchford is the nominated 2025 Club Captain and the committee will present him with  a club Jacket. 

Hardy A/B Captain’s Reports
No activities since the last meeting so nothing to report.

-3 Counties League Report
The 3CL Team came second in the Freeman Trophy at Ferndale Forrest in October. This course has a reciprocal arrangement with Folke that allows Folke club members to play free of charge. This arrangement is not well known within our club so an action was placed for the the details to be defined and published to members. Action: Kevin Down

- Senior Report
No matches. Nothing to report.

- H/C Secretary’s Report
Martin Blatchford reminded members that the first round of winter Knockout matches should be played by 17th November

- Any Other Business
• Fallen Leaf Rule
Alan Smith raised the issue of the possible application of local rule 14.1 that allows a free drop for balls lost due to fallen leaves provided that there is agreement on the area where the ball was lost. This issue was discussed at length by the committee but there were concerns that a suitable arrangement that was fair for all players was difficult to achieve. This was not considered an issue for the rest of this year and officials were asked to consider this further and, if required, submit a proposal to be voted on at the next meeting.

- RTTV Vouchers
RTTV Captain Andy Cole requested the committee to fund an allocation of club house vouchers for the RTTV winners of the next rounds. The committee agreed that the vouchers should be funded from the RTTV subscriptions.

- Next Meeting
The next meeting will be held at Folke on Wednesday 4th December at 6:30 pm. All members are welcome to attend.
