Circumstances dictate that we have a different type of AGM this year. Below you will find reports from officers and AGM minutes from 2019 and Agenda for 2020 AGM. These will also be sent to your delegates for distribution to the members. A google form will be sent to the delegates for distribution so that you are able to vote for election of officers, changes to conditions of play and honorarium for the President. The Gammon draw will be made by a zoom meeting and the draw will be sent to the clubs and posted on the website.

Following a committee meeting on Monday we are pleased to announce the arrangements for our forthcoming AGM. It was decided that the most inclusive way of conducting the meeting would be by email.  During the week starting 9th November, CLCGA Secretary Jenny Potter will email the meeting agenda and details of how to vote, to all delegates. Delegates will then be asked to forward this information to all the lady members of their club. All the officers’ reports and any other information will be emailed out subsequently. All paperwork will also be posted on the CLCGA website. We realise that this is not a perfect solution but felt that it was the best option available to us at this difficult time. We hope it will enable as many of our members as possible to participate. Any items to be included on the agenda should be sent to Jenny Potter by

Today the County Team should have been at Dudsbury GC in Dorset for the beginning of the South West Inter-Counties Matches.This year was to have been a new shortened format with the matches condensed into 2 1/2 days rather than 5. We would have been aiming to build on last year’s third place finish. However, as this event has been cancelled, along with match weeks in all the other regions, England Golf decided to open National Finals to any county which wished to send a team to a 5 day event in Lincolnshire in September.After consultation with the squad, Cornwall decided not to participate in this event. Instead we will look forward to next year’s SW Inter- Counties at Bristol and Clifton GC.In the meantime I know some clubs are starting to play competitions again, others maybe not yet, but I hope most of you are managing to get back

I’m very sad to tell everyone that I have been informed that Peggy Cann from Bude has peacefully passed away. Peggy was a Past County Captain (1995-97) and took the 1st team to the National finals in her time. Our sincere condolences go to her family and friends.

Further to our cancellation of the County Mixed and County Championship, England Golf have advised postponement of all County and Regional events until at least 7th June. In addition to this they have now directed all Golf Courses to close until further notice. Therefore our two Spring Meetings, the Bronze at Merlin and Silver at Perranporth are added the list of cancellations. To be clear, we considered postponement rather than cancellation of County Champs, but felt that due to ongoing uncertainty as to when events may take place again, and the logistical challenge of finding a course who could host us for four days at short notice, postponement was not a realistic option. Believe me the decision was taken after a great deal of deliberation by your committee who have worked incredibly hard setting these events up and now are working hard again to ‘undo’ them.  If any players who have entered these competitions could email Mo Hammond their bank
