Dear Member,

A Tribute from the Club

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Greg Ellis-Williams, a long standing member of Randpark Club. We extend our sincere condolences and sympathies to his family and friends.

Food & Beverage

The F&B experience is a vital part of your enjoyment at Randpark and our goal has always been to deliver quality food, at the best prices possible. Amongst all the other challenges we already face, we are seeing the highest food price inflation in 14 months, with transport costs and fuel being the main reason for these increases, as the transport inflation jumped to 10.6% in April 2021. It is no secret that we have all seen these costs rising, in our homes, and I have added an extract from a recent article, which lays out the increases for certain basket items.

Sunflower oil:
+30.3%
Tomatoes:
+29.4%
Stewing beef:
+15.4%
Salad dressing:
+18.4%
Sweet potatoes:
+16.9%
Beef liver:
+15%
Chocolate bars:
+16.5%
Beetroot:
+12.6%
Beef:
+14%
Hot cereals (porridge):
+14.8%
Carrots:
+13%
Fish:
+13%
Flavoured milk:
+14.0%
Fruit juice:
+12.8%
Wors:
+10%
Instant yeast:
+12.6%
White wine:
+13.2%
Whole chicken:
+12.2%
Soup powder:
+12.4%
Powdered milk:
+12.3%
White sugar:
+11.5%
Maize meal:
+14%



We are all subject to these price increases and, unfortunately, the club is not being spared, but we are also not giving in. We are constantly looking at our current offering and hunting for better pricing, without compromising on quality, and have made progress in recent weeks. We have particularly focused on the halfway house as a start and have adjusted the menu between “Classic” and “Gourmet” to ensure that there are affordable, easy meals up for grabs, but if you choose, you can enjoy something a bit grander. We are also making a few key changes to improve on our quality by making some items in-house. A great example would be our range of homemade chilli sauces. This is something that members enjoy and the bottles we purchase adds up to a big cost in a month. Having our own homemade chilli sauces will bring in some extra quality and members are welcome to buy some for home, on request.

Classic vs Gourmet Halfway House Menu

1. Please don’t forget, members receive a 10% discount on the listed prices.
2. Not all menu items are available every day; items are served on a rotational basis.
 
 
 
We always see prices going up, which we unfortunately cannot avoid, but we don’t often show members that our prices are also adjusted down, from time to time, as we shop for specials or make progress with new suppliers for better pricing.

Farewell to Jacobus Oosthuizen

We are sad to say goodbye to our Golf Shop Manager, Jacobus Oosthuizen. It has been a privilege to have had Jacobus as part of the Randpark team over the past six years. He joined Randpark as a Golf Shop Assistant, was promoted to Range Manager and he then successfully fulfilled the role as Golf Shop Manager.

We would like to thank Jacobus for his commitment and dedication, which made a positive contribution to the Randpark Club and its members. We will certainly miss him, but would like to wish him well with his new ventures!

Jacobus’ last day will be Friday, 23rd July. All the best Jacobus!
