Stolen items

Colin from Paeroa

If anybody sees or hears of youths bragging or playing with Night Golf equipment or unusual item in their possession, please report to the police or contact The Paeroa Golf Club 021998851.
Over the past few nights some youths ( for a better description) broke into the men’s changing rooms cupboards and took many golf items.
If casual players cannot be trusted to use the facilities left open ie toilets etc then the building will be locked in total.
