Comments Procedure:

1. All comments are welcomed and can be shared with any member of the Committee.
2. A comment can be made verbally to a member and in the event of an unsatisfactory result, the comment should be made in writing to the Committee Members or to The Chairperson (John Gallagher) or to The Club Secretary (Jane Watt).
3. The nominated person will make a note of these in the Comments Book, along with any action(s) taken.
4. The complaints procedure should be availed of if a satisfactory response is not received within 4 weeks.
