Catering Tender Review Announcement

As mentioned in last week's 19th News, as part of our commitment to providing the best possible experience for our members and guests, the Board recently undertook a comprehensive review of our catering arrangements.  After careful consideration and a thorough tendering process, which included the team at The Dragon On The Green, the Board have made the decision to appoint a new catering partner.  We have informed Ueli and Shirley of this difficult decision, and they requested that we bring forward the announcement by a week to ensure they can promptly inform the rest of their team. The Board was more than happy to accommodate this request.  Ueli and Shirley and their team will continue to provide services until Sunday, 15 September.  We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to each and every one of them for their service over the years.  They have been an integral part of our club and we wish them all the very best for the future.

As a result of this change, we are pleased to announce that Vincent Buck has been appointed as our new catering partner.  Vincent is a renowned cater with over 20 years successfully owning and operating restaurants, cafes and function businesses in Australia and overseas. With an enviable reputation for providing varied menus, using fresh ingredients, supporting sustainability and Australia growers and farmers. 

We are confident that Vincent will bring fresh and exciting offerings to our club which include Asian Fusion dishes.  We look forward to introducing him and his team to you all. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in the life of our club, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead. 

The Board kindly asks for your continued support during this transition period and looks forward to your feedback as we embark on this new journey.  Thank you for your understanding and continued commitment to our club.

2024 Master Pennants

Sunday 28th July - Grand Final:  After 2 weeks of postponements due to the weather conditions, finally we managed to meet Cumberland Golf Club in the Grand Final Playoff at Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club. The match was played in testing conditions with strong winds and chilly temperatures. 

North Ryde got off to a promising start as at half way we were up in 5 matches and 3 were halved. Promising, but not over the line yet. Midway through the back nine we started to get the wobbles and Cumberland were up or square in 5 matches. However, our North Ryde fighting spirit came through and we claimed the win with 2 matches unfinished for a 5.5 to 2.5 win. 

I believe this is the first senior competition win in 42 years for North Ryde and the flag will proudly be on display for all to see soon. This squad of Glenn Blundell, Chris Millard, Greg Sheaves, Rob Righton, Greg Imber, Brett Cummerford, Ross Wilson, John McKie, Glenn Woodley, Roy Shuttleworth, Greg Howe and Brad Hyland is something North Ryde Golf Club should be very proud of. A special mention goes to Glenn Blundell for his undefeated performance throughout the competition.

I would also like to take this opportunity to massively thank all our Caddies and Club Supporters, many of whom ventured out to Twin Creeks to support the Team. It was very much appreciated by all the players. Special mention and thanks to our Sponsors - TyrePower, Palmers Glass, West Ryde Smash Repairs and Bennelong Legal Services for their continued support which is very much appreciated. 

And finally, I would like to thank the Team for the honour and privilege of managing them and I now congratulate them on an outstandingly successful season. 

Steve Callaghan - Team Manager

Eric Apperly Shield

Our resilient North Ryde team played Round 4 at Avondale against Avondale and we welcomed Lara Mandilidis for her first game of the shield.

It was a brisk start on Sunday morning with our first game teeing off at 7:15am.  While it was bright and sunny, this was accompanied by a slight chilly breeze to keep us on our toes.

Naturally the course presented well with slick greens and Jonathon wasted no time getting off the blocks early with a comfortable lead. All the other games were tight and it was difficult to split the sides through the front nine as all games got to at least the 15th.

Our eventual winners were number 1 & 2 being Jonathan and Harrison.  Daniel managed a 1/2 playing number 3, Elijah and Oscar took it to the 17th with Lara holding her own until the 15th.  Final score Avondale 3 1/2 to North Ryde 2 1/2.

Considering Avondale had the advantage of playing at home, we put up a commendable fight

With two wins and two losses, this Sunday we play at The Lakes against Penrith, our last game before the finals.  We are excited to play, wish us all the best!

David Thompson - Team Manager
