Federal Stags win the Keirle's trophy

Many thanks to the many volunteers that helped out at the Vintage Fair, your help made the task so much easier.

The John Deere Ride-on Lawn Mower which has been donated to the Wellington Golf Club and is now being raffled with tickets selling really fast and you can purchase a ticket for $5 at the club or there are plenty of golf club members around town selling tickets and this great prize will be drawn on the June Long Weekend.

A couple of requests from the committee, can all members please repair all Pitch and Divot Marks on the course and please keep all golf carts a good distance away from the Greens, many thanks if for your help in these matters.

The Committee of the Wellington Golf Club would like to thank everybody that represented the Wellington Golf Club in the Pennants for their time and in the way that they presented themselves to play golf.
