It looks likely that the club I joined 2 years ago, North Worcestershire, is going to be sold for housing, the shareholding members have voted to allow the committee to enter into negotiations with a local house builder. The club is really struggling financially - membership has fallen partly due to the appalling summer of 2012 (built on clay), and rumours of closure have hardly encouraged people to join up.
There has been a petition sent to the council to try to prevent the sale, but the only supporters seem to be the nimbys who don't want their property values to go down and politicians who want the nimby's vote. The members are realistic enough to know that it's a lost cause.
It's a shame, a really nice course, short but challenging. Looks like I may be returning to the Lickey Hills.
