Strathpeffer Spa Golf Club Project 2015 £8000

Strathpeffer Spa Golf Club Project 2015 £8000 received £8000 of your money why ? it has spent it on   (Gordon MacKenzie outlined the progress at Strathpeffer Golf Club following the award of LCT funding – existing carpets have been cleaned, new carpets ordered, plumbing, electrics and decorating improved, glass-washer and refrigerator acquired and website re-vamped).Now according to there press release the money was to be spent on  (“Strathpeffer Spa Golf Club Project 2015″ was awarded £8,000 to improve its clubhouse catering facilities.) i don't see much catering improvements on the statement  by Mr Mackenzie to the board on the 24th February 2015
There had been an increase in members from the Garve area, and coaching for young players had been arranged. So kids are going to get coaching!!!? well first you will have to be a member of this little group.
Type                      Annual Fee
Full                                   £ 365
Senior                               £ 285
Junior Category 1              £ 160
Junior Category 2              £ 50
Student                             £175

So at first to get any benefit for our money we will have to fork out membership of any thing from £50 to £365.
Sorry this is just wrong do we get reduced fees for our £8000 ? what help and benefit is it to our area?
Now only three Directors could vote on this, as one is from Strathpeffer originally and the other two declared a interest as they were members of the club?

    I can't believe they passed this! Rich mans sport! Can't see the benefits at all, is it true that one of the directors has become club captain? If so it stinks, in my opinion.

    I would have been ok with this IF all children in our area were given free club passes and lesson!! No one that is a member of a group looking for funding should be on sitting on this board so that ALL applications for funding are voted on equally by all directors.

    I understand the Director in question wasn't at the meeting when the decision to award funds was taken.
