Each year, the club supports a chosen Charity by raising money in various ways throughout the season, but particularly on the day of the Dubois Charity Shield Competition, when green fees are added to the pot together with the proceeds from a raffle. Money in the wrong bias pot and the ‘tips’ jar on the bar are also added. Members have the chance to nominate a charity at the AGM each year and a vote is taken to select the charitable cause to be supported during the following season. From 2019, nominations should be made in writing, together with reasons for that nomination, and should be received by the Secretary before the start of the AGM. Below is a list of charities supported over the years.
