He kindly offered to support the club whenever he can.

| Questions posed by the EC to the previous MC PP has informed the Chair of the MC, in his new role, that there were a number of legitimate questions that had been raised by the EC on club matters which still required a formal response from the MC. This is now being progressed by the MC. | ||
| PGC Website The EC are pleased that the new website is now up and running and they hope that the website can be used in a positive way to promote and market the club. It would be extremely helpful if previous minutes from 2021 were available on the website so that they can be accessed easily by members without having to make an application on a continual basis for their release. The EC feels that it will also be important to make effective use of the Members News section so that there are regular updates to members on club matters. It was noted that some page layouts need some adjustments, particularly for those members who access the website on tablets and mobile phones. It is also unclear what arrangements are in place to deal with website technical issues now that the club has changed suppliers. | ||
