V.V.G.A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTWelcome to the 2019, twenty eight edition of the VVGA fixture booklet and the twenty 24rd year that Parmarker have produce the booklet. The Council and members of the Victorian Golfers’ Association thank and are most grateful for the support Parmaker have provided, too Veteran Golf in Victoria over these years, and that they have been able to extend this valued sponsorship for 2019 is greatly appreciated.
We also appreciate, value and thank Parmarker for allowing us to have a link on their web site, where we are into our eighth year. Go to www.parmaker.com/vvga, where you will find information including Minutes of VVGA Meetings, downloads of entry forms for events, district contacts, district fixtures, results and news from Country and Metro districts. This has greatly improved our communication to our members. I invite our districts and members to contribute to these sections with local news photos of interest, simply by contacting the VVGA Secretary.
Many of our Districts are now producing their own web sites to book games, review results and get up to date news on District activities.
For members who do not have their own computer, the above information can be accessed at local libraries free of charge. The local librarian will help you get started.
From the Council and the Host Clubs, who hosted our major events in the past year, we thank the members, who made the effort to supports these events.
The Council and Parmaker are pleased with the way the districts and members have embraced Parmarker as our sole sponsor, we also thank Parmaker for their friendly and excellent after sales service, which is second to none should it be required.
Many Veterans have availed themselves of the Parmaker products and we encourage members to continue to support Parmaker to ensure we are able to continue this remarkably durable relationship.
