Message from the President It is a great honour for me to be asked to be President of the County Union, especially as in my second year, the County Union will be celebrating its Centenary. I will be succeeding a long line of Presidents who have all contributed in their own way to the developing history of our Union. We are all going through difficult times as the economic situation starts to bite hard. The County Union will endeavour to run a tight ship in these turbulent waters and, where we can, we will try to help clubs, as we will also through our contacts with the national governing bodies of our sport. One of the highlights of the 2009 golfing season will be the Big 6 to be held on home territory at Seascale on 10th June 2009. Having come close to winning this in recent years, we hope to capture the prize this year! We have appointed our County Development Officer, Jo Tinsley, who is greatly experienced as a sports administrator and she will be circulating amongst clubs and schools, using her expertise to help clubs get and keep more members of all ages in golf. Clubs will find her advice and guidance helpful in the years ahead, I am sure. Finally at this time, may I encourage all Clubs and golfers in the Cumbria Union to liaise with John Pearson, who has kindly offered to put together the Centenary History of our Union. John has written several Club Histories,including Silloth, and is well versed in the history of golf in this area. I look forward to seeing the fruits of his labours as we move into 2010. We are fortunate in having Cliff Heath as our County Captain and I am pleased that he will also be the President Elect for me. With John Smith as Manager of the Junior Squad and possessing a young but quite experienced team we look forward to great things from them too. Our Seniors are also are moving into a more competitive environment. May I wish everyone enjoyment in their golf in 2009 and let us hope that the weather is kind to us also. Tom Stout President. |
