general meeting held in December 2007 the Board advised that the General Manager and I had been in ongoing discussions with Officers from the Department of Main Roads and their Consultants regarding the upgrading of the Gateway Arterial and I indicated that it would be the end of March before further information would be available.  Further information has been tabled and we are now entering the next phase of the process.</div> <bR> <div> But first I wish to convey my thanks to all Members for their support of the Board for the past two years and for your vote of confidence in returning the same Board for the current two years.  My thanks extend to the “Ordinary” Members, Five Day Members, Lady Members and the Staff who make every effort to make our time at the Club enjoyable. </div> <bR> <div> Back to the future of our Club and golf facilities.</div> <bR> <div> In January Main Roads commissioned four Golf Course Architectural Firms to report on the impacts that could occur if the Department resumes approximately 7 hectares of land from the South Course for the Gateway upgrade. These reports have been tabled and are being reviewed by the Departments Consultants, our General Manager and myself. The Department have not approved the release of the reports to the Club at this point in time.</div> <bR> <div> The confidentiality maintained during the commissioning of the Architects has resulted in four very independent reports addressing the major issues which are:-</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c800000000.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0"

The reports all conclude that comparable facilities to the existing facilities cannot be contained in a reduced area and that additional land is required if we are to maintain a comparable 36 hole facility.</div> <bR> <div> We have advised the Departments Consultants that the Club has no interest in accepting a reduction to the existing facilities but we would be agreeable to redesign if additional land was available.</div> <bR> <div> I would like to make the comment that discussion about possible course design is not relevant until the Department advises whether additional land is available and the Manager and I have offered the Department a continuing degree of confidentiality while they explore all the options.</div> <bR> <div> We will keep you informed as further information becomes available.</div> <bR> <div> Vern Smerdon</div> <div> President.</div> <div>  </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 14 WIDTH="196"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="14"
