9 Hole Winter Invitation Competition: Thursday 25th November. Open to members and guests. Last main event of the season! Invite your friends to join in this great 9 hole competition. Closing date for entry is Thursday 11th November.

Winter Rules: It was decided at the Club Committee meeting that conditions of the course did not yet require Preferred Lies to be in place at present, but this decision will be kept under constant review by the Captains and the Course Manager. Members will be informed as soon as any change is made (whilst England Golf say preferred lies can be brought in from October 1st, it is the decision of Clubs individually as to when these are adopted).

Macmillan Coffee Morning: Beautiful home made cakes/coffee and chatting was the theme courtesy of Wendy M at the 'Macmillan Coffee Morning' last week. Wendy raised a magnificent £600. A most enjoyable morning raising funds for such a worthy cause. Well done Wendy and all the Chesfield ladies who attended.

Knitted Club Head Covers: There is a pattern for those of you who are keen knitters on the notice board (help yourselves). We hope to sell the head covers along with homemade Christmas gifts and cards at the '9 Hole Winter Invitation Competition on Thursday 25th November'. Many thanks in advance to all those clicking needles!
