Re: Valentines Night Social

“The Dining Room was most inviting with its warm red glow. The meal and service was of an extremely high standard. On the night there was nothing but praise from all who attended. Well done to Rosemary/Stephen and their staff. The only disappointment was the attendance, a little more support from members on social nights would be greatly appreciated and will help the club run a successful social calendar for 2012”

Introduction

If you would like any item included in future issues of our Newsletter, please contact a member of the Management Committee

Green Fees & Societies

Like most clubs in the country, subscriptions are decreasing and in Rush Golf Club we are becoming more and more financially dependent on visitors supporting us both in the bar or paying green fees. Mon-Fri, all green fees & outings can be viewed on the BRS online booking system on a daily basis. These green fees & outings will have priority on the course when their tee time is confirmed to them. So if you are arranging an interclub match or club match please check the on-line booking system for course availability.

Timesheets

The timesheets will recommence for Saturday 17 th March 2012 and the online booking system will be operational from 1pm on Friday 9 th March 2012 as agreed by the Management Committee. A new “waiting list” function has been added to the system, if you are unsuccessful on getting on the timesheet, you can enter your details in the waiting list section and if a place becomes available you will automatically be entered in that place.

 

 

Catering

There has been a lot of positive feedback about our new caterers. Our bar & catering are dependent on each other for both to be a financial success. If you are having a function, going out for Sunday lunch or any special event, please remember to support your club & your caterer. Bookings are now being taken for First Communion & Confirmation and the child celebrating their First Communion/Confirmation eats free. Our caterer, Stephen O'Donoghue 087-2620240 is available to discuss your catering requirements.
