We would like to create a safe, warm environment in the clubhouse, for members ,and their friends, (not necessarily members), to meet, especially those who no longer golf. We wish to provide a space where, particularly, those who feel isolated may visit for social interaction and activities.

This is popular. To enhance our project we would like to purchase a tea and coffee making machine, digital radio and putting mats
