Why can't I take relief from tree roots on the course?
The Club's committee's have considered this request many times and determined that no local rule is to be in place to provide relief from tree roots. Any player can take relief from a tree root by taking an unplayable lie under penalty. If there is a safety concern the player should consider taking an unplayable lie.
Is the Miclub booking opening times and lock out periods determined by the Club or Miclub?
The Club sets the opening times and lock out periods for the Miclub booking system considerate of recommendation from golf sub-committees. Each sub-committee (Men's Golf, Women's Golf, Men's Vets & Women's Vets) determines the opening times and lock outs relevant to their playing group.
Why is Miclub online bookings locked at times?
At a certain point close to the first group playing in a comp the online cancel or book function for Miclub closes and all changes must be relayed to the Pro Shop. This has been determined to be the most practical method for the starter to co-ordinate order of play and groupings. Some sub-committees have the online booking function locked prior to release to allow players in attendance but on the course the opportunity to book before times are released online.

I disagree with a decision or policy of the Board, why can't I amend the decision or policy via a motion at an AGM?
The Club's Constitution outlines the powers of the Board to essentially manage the affairs of the Club on behalf of the Members. The Members powers in the constitution do not extend to reversing or directing the Board in excercising its powers. For instance a motion by members to reduce drink prices, fill in a bunker or to reverse another decision of the Board may be discussed but will not be binding upon the Board. The Members powers extend to removing directors or special resolutions to amend the Constitution.
