GREENLEES TROPHY 80TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS AT EAST RENFREWSHIRE POSTPONED TO 2021

As you are all aware, life is not normal at the moment so it is with regret that I am writing to say that after discussion with Valerie Crawford, East Renfrewshire Greenlees’ Secretary, we have decided to call off our Anniversary Lunch on 1st September.

.

We feel that we cannot make plans with any certainty either about catering arrangements or clubhouse facilities so East Renfrewshire would rather we abandoned our plans for this year.

However, they are willing to hold the event for us in 2021. 

As we have not played any matches this year, we are not really celebrating 80 years of golf and next year now seems quite appropriate.

I hope you agree with us that under the current circumstances, this seems a sensible decision to take.

I am still hoping that one of you will volunteer to come onto our sub-committee to look at perhaps making some changes to our Constitution.

Hope you are all enjoying your golf.

Regards

Maureen Mitchell - West of Scotland Greenlees Secretary. 

MEMORIES OF THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

Also with all the fixtures cancelled this year it is hoped that the matches will be able to be played next year on the current days of the fixtures and only the dates needing to be changed  --- SEE 2020 FIXTURE LISTS

WEST OF SCOTLAND GREENLEES MATCHES CANCELLED FOR 2020

Greenlees Trophies

After considering all the options and taking on board the Government’s directives, I regretfully feel that the Greenlees League matches should be cancelled this year.

As our clubhouses are closing down, we might have considered playing our games with no hospitality but this could become impractical if various players became ill at different times. 

This could easily lead to you not being able to field a team.

At the moment there is not an end in sight so any thoughts about playing later in the season do not seem sensible.

However, as you are aware, it is the League’s 80^thAnniversary this year. We have made plans for this celebration to be held at East Renfrewshire G. C. on Tuesday, 1^st September.

I would like you to keep this date in your diaries with the great hope that things will greatly improve and we can enjoy the celebrations. Obviously, details cannot be finalised till later.

If things do improve later in the summer, perhaps you could consider playing some of your fixtures as ‘friendlies’ 

Please keep in touch if there is anything you would like to discuss or any news you would like to pass on.

Hopefully you will all stay safe and healthy.

Maureen Mitchell (West of Scotland Greenlees Secretary)
