Water Storage

DWE have had a very productive week and have begun stockpiling clay that will be re-used to line the new dam.  They have also started to place the infrastructure in place that forms part of our water harvesting.

Huntingdale Staff at Cranbourne Golf Club

You may notice some familiar faces at Cranbourne Golf Club. In a collaborative effort to help Cranbourne and look after our staff during the club's course works, Huntingdale is providing various staffing opportunities to work at Cranbourne Golf Club. 


Member's Guests at Huntingdale

Members can now book guests at Huntingdale as per normal (up to 8 days out) on Mondays and Tuesdays. All other days (excluding Saturday), members can now make bookings for their guests 2 days in advance to ensure all members have the opportunity to secure spots prior to the booking of guests. 


Staff Gratuity 

Huntingdale has always been extremely fortunate to have a loyal and dedicated staff who pride themselves in providing the highest level of service to our Members and their guests. 

Yet again, this year our staff have been terrific in the way they have served our membership remaining loyal and working extra or different duties due to the ever changing work environment.   

As you would be aware the Club does not allow direct tipping to the staff. Therefore, I invite you to contribute to the Staff Gratuity Fund which recognises the excellent work by all of our staff - administration, house, golf shop and course (excluding senior management who do not participate in this staff gratuity).  In assessing the size of any contribution you may wish to make, I would ask you to reflect on what you would have tipped throughout the year in a similar environment.

Donations may be either sent to the Club with the attached slip, charged to your general account, BPAY, bank transfer, or credit card and placed in the box situated in the bar or handed into or emailed to the office.

I am sure the staff will appreciate your recognition of their work.
