AGM-2021-Notice

Notice of Annual General Meeting of
The Clontarf Golf and Bowling Club

Dear Member,
Please note that the Annual General Meeting of The Clontarf Golf and Bowling Club, in accordance with the
requirements of the Club Constitution, should be held in the Clubhouse on Friday, 29th January, 2021 at 7.30pm.
However, because of the closure of the Clubhouse, in accordance with the Government’s Level 5 restrictions as a
result of the Covid-19 pandemic, it will not be possible to hold the Club’s Annual General Meeting until such time as
the restrictions are lifted and confirmation of the numbers allowed in the Clubhouse or elsewhere at any one time
can facilitate such a meeting is decided.
The Management Committee did investigate the possibility of holding the AGM by Zoom-Webinar on the 29th
January 2021 but, because of the high cost involved in providing the facility for the 661 eligible Members entitled to
attend the AGM and who may decide to login, plus the difficulties some Members might experience in trying to
login, it was decided not to proceed with an AGM by Zoom-Webinar.
Therefore, the Management Committee will continue to run the affairs of the Club to the best of its ability until such
time that it is possible to hold an Annual General Meeting at which the eligible Members can attend in person.
Please find below the Agenda for the Club’s Annual General Meeting and note the following:
At the Annual General Meeting held on Friday, 31st January 2020 the Members did not adopt the Financial Estimates
for the year ending 31st October 2020, and it was agreed by the Members in attendance that the Management
Committee should prepare a revised budget, as close to cash neutral as possible, for presentation at a future Special
General Meeting.
Subsequently, the Chairman wrote to Members on 25th April 2020 forwarding the following documents adopted by
the Management Committee, in the light of the deliberations at the AGM:
• Revised audited accounts for the year ended 31st of October 2019.
• A revised Other Information pack which included detailed variance analysis of our 2019 revised accounts.
• A new Budget and Forecasts pack including the revised budget for 2020, together with revised forecasts for
the two years 2021 and 2022, and
• 3-Year Rolling Plans for Course and Clubhouse included in the revised Budgets and revised Forecasts.
• A new Club Treasurer’s Report which included detailed commentary on the above documents.
The Management Committee was supported by a Finance Sub-Committee in preparing these documents to examine
the proposed Estimates for the year ending 31st October 2020. This has been achieved mainly by cutting back on
Capital Expenditure, and the resulting proposed Budget is as outlined in the Club Treasurer’s report (Item 9 on the
Agenda).
The audited Financial Statements, Financial Estimates for the year ending 31st October 2020, draft 3-year Financial
Plan for 2020 – 2022 and the Club Treasurer’s Report for the year ended 31st October 2020 (Items 9 and 10 on the
Agenda) have been emailed to Members under separate attachment and also posted on the Club’s website
(Members’ section).
Item 11 (To consider Notices of Motion and Special Resolutions):
Special Resolutions: (Constitutional)
The Management Committee has proposed Special Resolutions 1 and 2 as follows:
• Delete reference to GUI, ILGU and CGI and replace those references with Golf Ireland which is now the

• In relation to the terms of office for the President (two years), Vice-President (two years), Captains and viceCaptains of the Men’s, Ladies and Bowling Clubs (one year), add the words: “Or for a longer period in

General Meeting. The Management Committee shall determine when such extenuating circumstances exist
and shall immediately notify Members of any such decision and the expected duration of such.”

Item 12 (To elect Officer Bearers):

of three years.
A notice for Nominations for the position of Club Treasurer was posted on the Concourse notice board, the Club’s

decided not to seek a second three-year term in office.
Nominations for this position closed on Friday 8

The purpose of the proposal would be to cater for any Member aged over 29 who re-enters full-time
education and is unable to afford the full subscription fees, but who will duly return to Ordinary or Five-Day
Membership upon completion of studies. The category of Membership would strictly be available to those
in full-time education to reflect the impact on income during the period.

6. Annual Reports of Committees:
The Chairman advised the Meeting that there were six reports namely, the Management Committee Report
2019, the Course Report 2019, the House & Social Report 2019, the Men’s Club Report 2019, the Ladies’
Club Report 2019 and the Bowling Club Report 2019. These six reports, having been previously displayed on
the Club’s website and made available for collection by Members, were, with the approval of the Meeting,
taken as read. The Chairman advised the Meeting that the reports were presented for information purposes and
that they were not required to be adopted by the Meeting.
However, he invited the Chairman of Management Committee, Ian Maguire, to speak in relation to the
Management Committee Report.
The Chairman of Management Committee outlined the main points in the report as follows:
• Membership numbers held up well in 2019 and we were fortunate to recruit more than enough
replacement new Members to finish the year ahead of 2018.
• Thanks to Course Officer Jason, General Manager Pat, Course Committee, Darragh and his course staff
for the work they have done in protecting the Course; in keeping to the STRI maintenance and
development programme and in keeping disease at bay while mentioning that we are already facing
challenges with the banning of certain fertilisers and herbicides.
• Thanks to Ray Maguire and his course volunteers, and that includes our President Tommy, for the
wonderful work that they did last year and which will continue for 2020.
• House upgrades included new carpets in the Concourse and in the Locker-Rooms, a new TV in the back
Bar, a new projector and screen in the West Wing and the refurbishment of most of the main Lounge
seating furniture.
• Thanks to Dave Dalton who steps down as House and Social Officer after six years in the role, and to
Peggy Vather and Jean Farrelly who are stepping down from the Social Committee after five years
each.
• Our extensive Member survey undertaken in 2020 was very positive and gives us a very good
benchmark against which to measure the results of future Member surveys. Our thanks to all those
who participated in the survey.
• I should also add that Clontarf Golf and Bowling Club recognises its obligations relating to inclusion and
diversity in all its dealings with Members, Employees and Visitors and we may from time to time
propose some amendments to the Club Constitution to give effect to these obligations.
• The service that we, and our friends and guests, receive here is of a high standard and that is reflected
in the recent winning of the Lux Distinction “Golf Club of the Year” award for Superior Customer
Service and the 2020 Golfers Guide of Ireland “Golf Restaurant and Quality Service Award”.
• Thanks and best wishes to Tony O’Donnell who will be finishing up at our Club on 14th February, after
26 years’ Catering service to Clontarf Golf and Bowling Club. We have been working to recruit a new
franchise Caterer for our Club.
• We received a large number of responses to our advertisement and we hope to make an appointment
in the near future.
• Thanks to the many Sponsors here at our Club for their generosity and support.
The Chairman finished his summary by thanking all the members of the Management Committee for their hard
work and dedication, President Tommy, Vice President Andy and Trustees Éamonn, Gilbert and Siobhan for
their contributions and advice, members of the Men’s Club, Ladies’ Club and Bowling Club Committees, and
the various sub-committees for all they have done for the Club.
There were no questions or comments on the Annual Reports.
The Chairman of the Meeting thanked Ian Maguire for his Report, Dave Dalton for completing his term of
office and the 2019 Captains (Ray Bergin, Anna Tyndall, Derek Kirwan) for preparing the various reports and
for the tremendous amount of work they all put in during the past year on behalf of the Club.
7. (9 on Agenda) The audited Financial Statements and the Treasurer’s Report for the year ended 31st
October 2019.
As these had been previously displayed on the Club’s website and made available for collection by Members,
approval was obtained from the Meeting to take them as read as permitted by Rule 27.7.7.
The Club Treasurer, M.F. Murphy, then made a brief presentation on the audited Financial Statements for the
year ended 31st October 2019 and drew the attention of the Meeting to the salient features in them. In
particular, he highlighted the following:
• Subscription income grew from €1,096k to €1,158k in 2020 and total income grew only from
€1,245k to €1,318K.
• Operating expenditure was under control and, while up on last year, there was some exceptional
expenditure during the year.
• The balance sheet remains strong with monies invested in long term deposits as before.
• If the Club continues to increase revenue and control costs in the future, it will remain in good
financial health.
• Challenges for the next three years include growing recurring income, less operational
expenditure to in excess of €100k pa., review subscriptions during the year and achieve necessary
Capex funding levels, maintain control of overheads and grow income to allow ongoing capital
expenditure.
A.L. Mulhall asked if the contribution by the Caterer should be looked at going forward. I. Maguire
commented that the Caterer, in addition to the fee, also pays a contribution to overheads and after surveying
other clubs, we are getting good value when other clubs are finding it difficult to retain Caterers.
M. Tyndall said that he was very pleased that the Club is striving for high standards in all that it does but
that regrettably the Financial Statements document fell short of a high standard. He said that the
Management Committee is responsible for the Financial Statements which, unfortunately, contain
numerous spelling and typographical errors. Furthermore, the Financial Statements were not approved
within the timeframe set out in the Constitution. He commented that the layout was poor in places and
that there were errors in some of the notes and various mistakes and differences in the presentation of
some of the figures. He emphasised that he was not suggesting that there was anything wrong with the
financial numbers and that he was not questioning the financial position as set out in the Financial
Statements. It was just that, in his opinion, the presentation was not up to standard. He suggested that, if
the Management Committee feels that it does not have the necessary wherewithal to improve the
document, it should consider appointing a Finance sub-committee this year to assist it.
M. Tyndall went on to say that he didn’t think that the Members were fully aware of the financial
situation. The Club’s cash balance had reduced by €134k in the last two years and the estimates for 2020
to 2022 will result in a further decline of around €250k unless radical remedial action is taken.
There were no further comments in relation to the audited Financial Statements or the Treasurer’s Report for
the year ended 31st October 2019. Accordingly, on the proposal by Martin Kelly, seconded by David Byrne,
they were put to the Meeting and adopted.
8. (7 on Agenda) To receive and adopt the draft 3-year Rolling Course Development Plan.
M. Tyndall commented that we should not adopt the 3-year rolling plans as we cannot afford them.
9. (8 on Agenda) To receive and adopt the draft 3-year Rolling House Plan.
A.L. Mulhall commented that we should look at the cost going forward into the 3-year plans.
10. To receive and adopt the Financial Estimates for the year ending 31st October 2020 and the draft 3-
year Financial Plan for 2020 – 2022
M. Kelly commented that, while the costs look to be under control, we need to look at the challenges of
Income and the proposed subscription increase of €40, and that this should increase significantly over the next
few years. We need to continue to attract new Members and work to maintain overheads and move to
significantly increase subscriptions.
M. Tyndall questioned the estimates and stated that it is not acceptable to continue with the erosion of our cash
reserves and we should cut back on our tree programme, and course and house capex expenditure, and produce
a budget that is close to cash neutral for 2020.
J. McGuinness commented that we need to look outside the Club for business, set up a marketing committee
and market our Club and clubhouse. We need to look to generate income from outside the Club.
D. Gilroy asked what is the next step; that the Management Committee call a Special General Meeting to agree
the budget and future estimates.
M. Tyndall asked the Management Committee to return to a Special General Meeting with a cash neutral
budget.
P. Fagan commented that we need to continue with our plant replacement going forward and if
replacements/work is needed, it will only be deferred and not cancelled.
When put to the meeting on the proposal of P. Bergin, seconded by R. Gaine, Items 8, 9 and 10 on the
Agenda were not approved.
It was then agreed on a show of hands that the Management Committee should prepare a revised budget,
as close to cash neutral as possible, for presentation to a future Special General Meeting.
J. McMahon asked the Management Committee to take away the feeling of the meeting when reviewing the
budgets.
The Chairman of Management Committee indicated that it may not be possible to achieve a cash neutral
budget in one year and agreed to issue a revised budget for a Special General Meeting.

MOTIONS
Motion 1 (Simple majority required)
Proposed by: Fergus Murphy Seconded by: Ian Maguire
That for the year ended 31st October 2020, the annual subscription for Ordinary Members shall be a core
subscription of €1,445 plus a Bar Credit Levy of €200 or, alternatively, if an individual Ordinary Member so
elects, a core subscription of €1,445 plus a convertible amount of €80.
M. Kelly commented that he believed that €40 was not enough and believed the budgets to be reasonable if we
are to maintain and not affect our standards. If this is the case, and we want to increase our reserves, we need
to increase our subscriptions.
P. Fagan, commented that we are coming out of a recession, that we had years of no subscription increase and
we need to continue the good work and keep our standards.
D. Gilroy agreed with P. Fagan and stated that any matter dealing with a further increase in subscription
should be brought to a Special General Meeting.
M. Kelly proposed, and seconded by R. Gaine, that the motion be amended from €40 increase to €100
increase. The amendment was put to the meeting and defeated by a show of hands.
The original motion was then put to the meeting and adopted by a show of hands.
12. To elect Office Bearers
The Chairman complimented the two outgoing Golf Captains, Ray Bergin and Anna Tyndall, and the Bowling
Captain, Derek Kirwan, on their successful year in office during which they represented the Club with great
dignity and gave as much as they possibly could to the Office of Captain of their respective Clubs. On behalf
of all Members, he thanked them and wished them well for the future.
The Chairman advised the Meeting that Dave Dalton, having completed two terms of three years as House
and Social Officer, was retiring from office. He acknowledged the fantastic job that he had done and thanked
him for his hard work.
House and Social Officer:
As there was only one nomination for House and Social Officer, John Delaney, proposed by D. Dalton and
seconded by B. Leech, was duly elected.
The Chairman introduced the incoming Golf Captains, Brian Leech and Anne Gardner and he wished them
both well for their year in office. The 2020 Captains then joined the top table.
13. To elect Honorary Members
The Chairman proposed the following persons as Honorary Members of the Clontarf Golf and Bowling Club
for the current year.
• The Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland – The Most Reverend Diarmuid Martin
• The Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough – The Most Reverend Michael Jackson
• Church of Ireland Archdeacon of Dublin – The Venerable David Pierpoint
• Professional Golfer, triple major winner and Ryder Cup Captain of the European Team for 2020 –
Padraig Harrington,
• Professional Golfer and Captain of the European Team that won the Ryder Cup in 2014 – Paul
McGinley, and Professional Golfers and major winners – Shane Lowry, Darren Clarke, Graeme
McDowell and Rory McIlroy.
The Chairman commented that Shane Lowry presented the Club with a signed copy of the 18th hole flag
following his victory in the British Open Championship at Royal Portrush last year – and that is now framed
and hanging alongside the flags signed by Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell, Darren Clarke and Rory
McIlroy after they each won their first major title.
The Chairman proposed, and Ian Maguire seconded, Dermot Gilleece as a Life Honorary Member of The
Clontarf Golf and Bowling Club in recognition of the wonderful contribution he has made at home and
internationally as a Golf Correspondent, and notably as author of the Club’s Jubilee Book (1987) and
Centenary Book (2012).
This was passed unanimously by a show of hands.
T. Crawford congratulated D. Gilleece on his election and was delighted to have proposed him for
membership of the Club in 1984.
To appoint Auditors
On the proposal of M.F. Murphy, seconded by I. Maguire, FMB Chartered Accountants were appointed as
auditors for 2020.
14. Any Other Business
T. O’Leary asked that the Course Committee look at the approach to the 3rd green and at moving players to the
right of the green to improve the surface.
In relation to the coffee machine, Dave Dalton commented that coffee is available from the Bar when the
Restaurant is closed.
M. Tyndall suggested that a new sign be placed near the 2nd tee at the new tee box sign as the sign that is
currently on the fence cannot be seen and is ineffective. He also suggested that the old signage on the
11th, 12th and 13th tee boxes be removed. J. McLoughlin said that a warning sign will be put in place on the
2
nd when the sponsors’ signs go in place.
M. Tyndall went on to comment that while we are firstly a Golf Club we are also a business, and he
suggested that the structure put in place in 2007 may not be fit for today’s purpose; that the structure of
the Management Committee should be changed to include the necessary skills and the Management
Committee should look at the recommendations of the C.G.I. and benchmark against this.
I. Maguire commented that we may need to change taking into account the trends in changes in organisational
structures generally and the views of the meeting.
M. Tyndall asked that the Men’s Committee review the Captain’s Dinner and try to get the numbers back
to where they were in the past, reduce the number of speakers, and the length of speeches, and the
structure of the night. He also commented on the noise that came from the back of the room during the
speeches and for the Members to see the night as an occasion to honour the Captain.
J. McLoughlin (Course Officer) proposed that the height of the hedge on the right of the 18th be reduced to
4.5/5 ft.
D. Byrne commented that he was happy with the proposal and we should look at a proper pathway to the
Practice Ground in the Garden.
J. McMahon commented that we should also pare back the hedge.
D. Gilroy commented that he supported the idea but it should get the backing of the membership.
M. O’Connor asked that the Course Committee look at a new access point to the Garden near the compressor
area.

M. Gardner agreed with the idea of reducing the hedge, but not during bird nesting season.
The meeting, by a show of hands, agreed to reduce the height of the hedge as proposed by the Course Officer.
M. Murphy asked that the Management Committee communicate with Members when the TV Room is
booked and to use the Restaurant on more occasions.
D. Gilleece, thanked the Club for the honour which it had bestowed on him and that he was very grateful to the
Club and to T. Crawford for his kind words.
The President, in closing the Meeting at 9.35pm, thanked the Members for their contributions and wished them
well for the coming year.
