News that mats will come into play on 16 November just confirms that we are nearing the end of the year and heading towards a busy period for the captain and committees. However it’s also a lovely time of year where we have fun together and celebrate success.
Men’s Dinner & Presentation
Congratulations to all the prizewinners at Friday’s dinner, and especially the champion, Callum McAra. Thanks to Mark for hosting on my behalf and everyone else who worked hard to make it such a success.
Ladies Dinner and Presentation
The first Friday in December sees the annual ladies dinner and presentation which is attended by a large percentage of our memberships and brings a lovely end to our year. Full details are included further down the newsletter.
Finance
It’s the time of year where we take stock and start planning for 2027. A substantial increase in members really helped us in 2026, and despite spending money on a number of improvements (showers, boiler, ladies locker room) we are on track for an acceptable surplus. Last year we left the club fees as they were as a thank you for the support from members for the funding raised for the new locker room. This year we propose to increase the fees across the board by £5. This increase will cushion us slightly as we repay the loans received in 2025. Therefore the fees for 2027 will be as follows.
| Category | Number of members | Current Fee | 2027 Fee |
| Associate | 3 | £107.50 | £112.50 |
| Country | 21 | £75.00 | £80.00 |
| Full | 259 | £195.00 | £200.00 |
| Non Playing | 58 | £70.00 | £75.00 |
| Overseas | 11 | £75.00 | £80.00 |
| Pro | 3 | £171.00 | £176.00 |
| Student 18-21 | 28 | £75.00 | £80.00 |
| Student 22-25 | 16 | £95.00 | £100.00 |
| Young adult 26-30 | 16 | £115.00 | £120.00 |
| 415 |
Invitations to renew will be sent out at the start of January. If you want to make any changes to your payments due (e.g. no longer requiring a locker, or changing from playing to non playing) please email secretary@monifiethgolfclub.co.uk with details.
Thanks
Many thanks for your continued support for the club and the franchise as the club continues to thrive and have the buzz of a happy and welcoming environment. It’s good to see the clubhouse continues to be busy on both golfing and non-golfing days in the colder winter months.
Best wishes
Aileen
