Bateau Bay Bowl has reopened with a maximum of 20 persons allowed in the facility at any time. Wendy will be contacting regular bowlers to see if this activity could be restarted

Golf - Message from Geoff Barwick
Fellow Golfers.   You are probably aware by now that Breakers have opened the course for play under strict social distancing rules. The important ones are- Only two players are allowed per group, and there is a minimum of ten minutes between groups. This means that if we had say 16 players, we are looking at nearly an hour and a half between the first and last group. I don't think anyone would want to sit around the car park waiting for the later players to finish, as the club is still closed. I think that it is better left to the individual to arrange a game with a friend. Lets hope that we can return to normal soon.
Hoping you are all coping with the situation.
Best wishes Geoff.


Keeping in Touch during these trying times
To help members keep in touch now that our meetings and events have been cancelled, we have created our own Facebook page that all members are encouraged to join. Simply search Facebook for Forresters Beach Probus and request to join the group. Bard has made the first post explaining the purpose of the group. The Website will continue to be updated but the Facebook group allows for two way communication during this difficult time.

For those members not on Facebook, you will first need to create a Facebook account. This can be done by visiting Facebook.com with your internet browser and providing a name and either email address or mobile phone number.

EFT Payments

Changes have been made to the process for making an EFT payment to the Club.

All Events will be assigned a 3 character code and this must be used when making an EFT payment to the Club. Members need to enter this code together with their surname in the payment description e.g. 220 Thomas.  EFT Codes will be shown for every Club Event advertised on the website.

Please only pay for one event in a payment or reconciliation becomes very difficult. 

Please DO NOT email Treasurer or Convenor regarding an EFT payment as the Treasurer will notify the Convenor based on the Code entered.

No receipts will be issued by the Club for EFT payments. Your receipt will be your entry on your Bank Statement.

Appointment of Greg Abbott as Public Officer

Notice of Proposed Amendment to Standing Resolutions
As advised at the AGM held on March 10th 2020, a motion was to be put to the next General Meeting to amend Standing Resolution 10 of the Constitution of Forresters Beach Probus Club Inc. The purpose of the amendment was to appoint Greg Abbott as Public Officer (replacing Warren Lomax who has had to relinquish the position due to ill health). As all meetings are currently cancelled, advice was sought from PSPL as a Public Officer is a mandatory position.
Based on this advice, Greg Abbott was appointed Public Officer at the last meeting of the Management Committee and Fair Trading NSW has been so advised. It is now proposed that Standard Resolution 10 be deleted. This will be discussed when next members are able to meet at a General Meeting.
