The handover at the AGM took place after Warwickshire Union of Golf Clubs gave the attending Clubs more information about the current status of county golf and the new initiatives they are putting together to help grow the game.

Operations Director Matt Nixon offered an overview of what the County are trying to achieve with regard to communicating better with all the Clubs, while John Duncombe offered an update on the workings of England Golf.
With Robin Brennan explaining the accounts for the last 12 months, a first increase in five years for the county affiliation fee, up to £9.50, was approved for 2021.
