Hello Members, Sponsors & Patrons
Happenings Around The Club
Welcome to the new 2017-2018 Membership Card.
FAQ’s (Frequently asked questions)
- How do I earn loyalty points?
Just present your membership card at time of bar purchase.
2. How do I redeem a Reward at the bar?
Just ask the barperson at time of purchase for a Reward redemption (assumes you have accumulated enough loyalty points!)
3. How do I redeem other Non-bar Rewards?
The Point-of-Sale (Collect) system will send you an email when a Reward threshold is reached. You can redeem your Reward online and print the redemption certificate which you then take with you to the appropriate location (chef, sponsor etc). If you do not have a printer at home you can ask the Club Manager to print the certificate for you.
4. How do I know how many loyalty points I have accumulated?
If you have not disabled your email options, you will be notified by email each time you make a purchase. Otherwise, you can ask a barperson at any time.
5. I don’t want emails. Can I stop them?
You can turn off selected emails by logging on to your Collect account and disabling certain emails, or by requesting the Club Manager do it for you.
6. What if I don’t have my Membership Card with me?
You will not accumulate any loyalty points for that bar purchase.
7. Can I redeem my Rewards for cash?
No. This option is not available.
8. Can I transfer my Rewards to someone else?
Bar redemptions cannot be transferred. However, if you redeem a non-bar Reward there is nothing to stop you giving it to someone else to use.
9. What if I don’t want to earn loyalty points?
That is your choice.
New Tennis Courts
By way of overall summary we raised $100,000 in untied grants ($50,000 from the City of Busselton and $50,000 from the Department of Sport & Recreation) and secured a Self Supporting Loan for $114,000 at 3.8% interest over 10 years from the City of Busselton. We are also confident of securing another $10,000 from Tennis Australia.
The final touches for this Project include replacing the green synthetic grass (2 courts) with new two tone blue synthetic grass and the 2 new hard courts will be the same two tone blue as the existing blue hard courts. It will look consistent and inviting and will attract more players over the summer months. We wish to thank the other sporting sections for accommodating all of our contractors.
It did not all go smoothly (see photo attached) but mostly it was very well done.
I must pay tribute and highly recommend all of our contractors; Wood & Greive Engineers, BCP Civil & Plant, Margaret River Fencing and West Coast Synthetics.
Many thanks must go to the Project Committee included John McCallum, Greg Banfield, Brian Walker, Terry Hodges and Mike Howes for their time and effort in securing and planning of the project.

This Wednesday, June 7, there will be Vets golf at Balingup. Golfers not going to Vets can still come along and have a game.

Names in by 11.45 for a 12Noon start.
A big problem on the Golf course is the accumulation of leaves in the many drains which run though the course.
To remove these leaves is quite a difficult job and either entails their physical removal or by burning.
A test was recently carried out on a Leaf suction machine, which sucks the leaves out of the drains, mulches them and blows tem into the back of the Tip Truck.
They can then be taken to a separate area for burning or can be used as fine mulch.
A demonstration was carried out last week and was attended by a group of Ladies and Gents Golf members.
Due to the success of the demonstration, steps are being taken to purchase this unit.
I have attached two photographs, one with Helen Rowell and one with Barry Jackson operating the unit.
