W H AT A D I F F E R E N C E me know and we will try to fit it into a future article This publication will be printed and distributed seasonally four times per year We try very hard to keep emails from the Club to a minimum and therefore will continue to do one eNews email per week I beg you to read it as it is our best way to let you know what is happening at the Club Social media such as Twitter and Facebook will regularly follow all aspects of the Club as well The food and beverage staff are very excited to be in their new kitchen at the Glenmore end of the building and would be happy to show it to you As was the practice all fall and winter all food is being prepared out of the one kitchen so although it is a little crammed now it will be great when everything is back to normal Jon Nusink GM COO jnusink londonhuntclub com This month marks my one year anniversary back at the Club To be honest it feels like it s only been a month And what a year it has been When I tell this story years from now people will be certain I am exaggerating We started off the season with the catastrophic loss of our greens and battled them back to host the 2014 CP Women s Open with great success Two days later we began another major feat in the history of this great Club and embarked on its largest construction and renovation project yet This winter again has seen more record low temperatures than I care to remember but we are comforted by the knowledge we get when our Members wintering down south educate us about how much warmer and greener it is down there For that we truly thank you From the bottom of our 30 degree hearts sarcasm at its best But the truth is we miss you No really And we re excited to show you what s been happening at the Club all winter long Some in the golf club business use the winter for hibernation Hibernation by definition is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in endotherms It refers to a season of heterothermy that is characterized 6 by low body temperature slow breathing and heart rate and low metabolic rate Depression Maybe weather related low body temperature Definitely But inactivity Not a chance As you are reading this the new Pro Shop structure the cart and bag storage and the fitness centre have been erected The locker rooms and lower lounges are being dry walled the Banquet Room and Main Kitchen are being demolished and the new Glenmore Kitchen is open for service We attempt to communicate with regular updates on the construction and they can be found either on our construction page of the Members website or through our weekly emails from the Club Every two weeks or so we update a video slide show to illustrate the progressive changes that are happening Communication is very important to the Club and it s Members I am happy to introduce you to the new version of our newsletter titled Club Life Instead of a bulletin we thought a higher end magazine would better reflect the Club It will develop over time but our focus is to add interest articles communicate upcoming events and provide a greater satisfaction in readership If you have a general interest article that you think would be good to include please let SPRING 2015 The London Hunt and Country Club is the perfect setting your next event Our elegant facilities and knowledgeable staff offer a variety of options for all your function needs from an intimate gathering conference or meeting to dream wedding One of our mandates this winter was to keep things fresh and exciting and we received such good feedback from our Robbie Burns and Chinese New Year themed Friday Night Buffets that we have decided to make the last Friday of each month a special themed buffet in the Glenmore Stay tuned to the weekly club emails to see what feature is coming up A YEAR MAKES LONDON HUNT AND COUNTRY CLUB Here are just some of the reasons to make the Club your next event destination I am very excited to officially welcome Adam Baranowski as the new Director of Tennis We have had lots of conversations about the upcoming season and he is definitely not short of enthusiasm I know he will do a great job The calendar looks to be full of exciting events and weekly leagues and a continuing focus on junior players We have also discussed including more beginner clinics and tennis intros to ensure that beginners can easily fall in love with the sport EVENT FACILITIES Set the date and leave the rest to us New Hunt Club Ballroom with seating for 300 We offer stress free planning from booking to staging No two functions are the same customize your event menu with the Chef Unique themed events are our forte if you can think it we will deliver it An event with a view No need to hire a decorator we have the most stunning backdrop in the city Contact Kim Keating today to discuss your next event at the legendary London Hunt and Country Club Although we are under construction we are still open for business and look forward to the start of the golf and tennis seasons Major events like the league openings Member Member and Member Guest are all going as planned Our long standing tradition of a Canada Day barbeque and fireworks will happen but with some new twists and shortly after construction ends we will have an exciting Completion Celebration and give you behind the scenes access to all the great additions of the new Clubhouse And you thought 2014 was exciting Wait until you get a taste of 2015 It s going to be a great year A N N UA L G E N E R A L M E E T I N G W E D N E S D AY A P R I L 1 5 2 0 1 5 6 00 p m 7 SPRING 2015

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Geoff Davies Clubhouse Construction Committee Chair gdavies1 rogers com The Club published a complete update in the weekly eNews at the end of January Understanding that some Members may not have seen this update the following is a repeat of that report with updates to the date of this newsletter Since our last update in early December the Construction phase continues and the evidence that we are in the midst of a major project has become increasingly apparent The progress on preparation for and erection of the exterior addition structures has been significant as has the interior work in terms of demolition shoring mechanical electrical and framing which for all but a few staff is basically invisible We hope that the ongoing communications through the website have made it possible for everyone to get some sense for the magnitude and complexity of this project and to see the very substantial change and progress which is evolving each day The goal of this report is to update our Membership in terms of the key areas of this project which are affecting the Club s operations and its Members and to provide a general overview as to where we stand currently with the overall Project 8 Prior to the Christmas holiday period we were in good shape in terms of progress against the Project timelines We had been fortunate with very favourable weather and notwithstanding some expected disruptive surprises all aspects of the first phase of the process were on or very close to being on schedule The combination of the holiday slow down and the winter weather during Christmas and following New Years along with some additional more significant surprises has impacted progress on the exterior work and has caused a delay in the transition from the Main Kitchen to the new Glenmore Kitchen The plan according to the timeline was to close the Main Kitchen in early January and transition all food services to the newly expanded and renovated Glenmore Kitchen The new Glenmore Kitchen will provide all food services until the completion of the expansion and renovation of the Main Kitchen While it would have been preferable to have made this transition while the Club was closed the later transition was made with little or no impact on the Club s operations or usage by our Membership The new Glenmore Kitchen began operation on February 24th The surprises referenced are all related to issues which are to be expected but impossible to predict or quantify in advance of actually digging some holes or exposing the current structure We have an old building which has issues that have an impact on planning timelines and costs These issues include Designated Substance Abatement mould and asbestos inaccurate original building plans the discovery of sub standard existing services infrastructure which for very good practical reasons have to be dealt with during Construction and some minor changes which we have initiated to enhance the outcome or provide savings subsequent to completion of the Project While all of these issues and changes are covered by the Construction Contingency Fund some of these costs would have been incurred at some point in the future irrespective of our undertaking this renovation and addition project The Project is within the budget and the timetable for completion remains on track for substantial completion on June 30th SPRING 2015 HIGHLIGHTS DINING AND FUNCTIONS As per the timetable the Main Dining banquet area has been closed since January 1 All food and beverage services continue to be available in the Glenmore and Mixed Grill Rooms and with the exception of the Main Dining Room and the South Lounge all function facilities are available While our ability to host larger functions is limited pending the completion of the Project there is no change in the Club s ability to continue to provide us as Members with excellent dining entertainment and related amenities FITNESS The fitness programs continue to operate in the Card Room formerly the Ladies Locker Room On completion of the Project fitness will relocate to our new fitness facility which will be expanded with the addition of a fully equipped cardio room BRIDGE The new Card Room is now in use LOCKER ALLOCATION The draw for lockers has been completed Member s new locker number and location will be communicated in the very near future is allocated to the Construction workers do not respect the added stop signs and are ignoring the one way restriction when entering the small parking lot We need everyone s cooperation These changes are in place almost entirely on behalf of safety concerns and or regulations as they apply to Workplace Safety Your cooperation is sincerely requested The safety of our Members guests and staff is paramount GOLF The Pro Shop will continue to operate from its temporary location in the Tennis Chalet throughout the winter and into the 2015 golf season until the new Pro Shop opens We will continue with the temporary golf course layout with 16 as the starting hole until the new Pro Shop is open and functioning Bag drop Starters shuttle services etc will continue per the temporary format I trust everyone is as excited as I am that our time as trunk slammers will come to an end this summer We also invite all golfers to come back with respect to a beer a drink or something to eat in the Clubhouse before or after your game We can accommodate the golf carts or provide shuttle services as we did last fall PARKING There are no changes planned for the current temporary parking format The number of vehicles associated with the Construction has been increasing since the New Year and we can anticipate that this will continue as the work shifts to focus more on the interior construction E CARTS Those Members who have requested storage for their e caddy carts will be accommodated We are continuing to have some issues with the current format in terms of Members guests who continue to park in the area which The House Committee is developing a plan for a Completion Celebration We will have more on this as we approach the coming summer 9 OTHER All furniture fixtures and equipment have been ordered to ensure that we do not suffer any delays in our timetable Ongoing current communications continue through the eNews and on the website The dedicated Construction site on the web is replete with visuals of the construction phase as it progresses and this continues to be updated regularly If you wish to get a perspective of how much progress there actually has been with this very significant and complex Project I invite you to visit the galleries in the Clubhouse Construction section of the website and have a look OTHER Your project team comprised of management staff the Clubhouse Construction Committee and Project Manager Tom Falls continue to be very closely involved in the oversight of the process While design planning and furnishing and fixtures selection is now complete we continue to deal with issues as they arise and to remain focused on the Project and its successful completion on time and on budget We continue to work closely with other Club Committees including the Finance and Audit Committee and with your Board of Directors to ensure that we have the information and support needed for this Project to succeed and to ensure that we are doing all that we can to optimize the communications processes with every stakeholder While there is some disruption associated with the Clubhouse Construction Project we are now half way through it The spirit and excitement surrounding this Project is now very palpable as we look forward to the realization of this major step in the attainment of our Club s Vision If anyone has any questions or comments for the Committee please do not hesitate to contact Jon Nusink or myself SPRING 2015

EMERGING CULINARY TREND FERMENTED FOODS Michael Stark Executive Chef mstark londonhuntclub com One the emerging trends this year in culinary is the use of fermented foods The resurgence of fermented foods is owed to their health benefits Fermented foods have very high amounts of pro biotic bacteria like lactobacillus acidophilus This probiotic bacteria is beneficial to the flora of the intestinal tract and the overall health of those that enjoy fermented foods The National Academy of Science showed a link between the probiotics found in fermented foods and their ability to lower stress hormones in addition to their protective qualities against depression Fermented foods also help to balance the production of stomach acid when eaten on a regular basis The carbohydrates in fermented foods are broken down or pre digested which makes them easier for the body to consume especially for people with diabetes as it does not put extra burden on the pancreas While the origins of fermented foods is widely argued the one thing that is agreed upon is that fermented foods were discovered by accident When food begins to break down it gets slowly devoured by bacteria and decays Sometimes the bacteria that breaks down the food acts in such a way that it preserves the food This method of preservation also had the added benefit of making the food more flavorful The art of fermentation can be found in almost every culture around the world from the spicy and pungent Kimchi of Korea to the sour and briny Sauerkraut of Germany Fermented foods are already very popular items that people eat daily including pickles yogurt and buttermilk But the more uncommon items such as Kimchi Kefir and Kombucha tea are all becoming more common place Included is a recipe for Kimchi for you to try I suggest serving it over steamed rice or using it on a sandwich to add a little more zip 12 INGREDIENTS Head of Napa cabbage about one pound Sea salt Water Fine red chili flakes 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger 3 4 green onions sliced 2 tablespoons anchovy or fish sauce optional 1 2 yellow onion 1 2 ripe apple 1 2 ripe pear DIRECTIONS Separate cabbage leaves and chop into bite size pieces Dissolve a quarter cup of sea salt in a bowl of warm water then pour salt water over cabbage leaves Give cabbage a gentle toss to distribute salt water Allow salted cabbage to sit for at least four hours Give cabbage a good rinse to remove excess salt then transfer cabbage to a large bowl Combine a quarter cup of fine red chili flakes with warm water stir gently with spoon to create a red chili paste then transfer chili paste to cabbage Add minced garlic minced ginger green onions and fish sauce Blend yellow onion apple and pear with one cup of water then add this natural sweetener to the cabbage Put on a pair of plastic gloves and give everything a thorough toss and rubdown You want to evenly distribute all ingredients especially the red chili paste Transfer seasoned cabbage leaves into a large glass bottle Be sure to use firm pressure with your hands to push down on cabbage leaves as they stack up inside the bottle Transfer any liquid that accumulated during the mixing process into the bottle as well this liquid will become kim chi brine Some liquid will also come out of the cabbage leaves as you press down on them as they are stacked in the bottle Be sure to leave about 2 inches of room at the top of the bottle before capping it tightly with a lid Allow bottle of kim chi to sit at room temperature for 24 hours Your kim chi is now ready to eat Refrigerate and take out portions as needed The refrigerated kim chi will continue to ferment slowly in the refrigerator over time So long as you use clean utensils to take out small portions it will keep for up to a month in your refrigerator SPRING 2015 KIMCHI Traditional fermented Korean main dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings 13 SPRING 2015

course and it appears we have a few more weeks of winter before the comforting sights and sounds of spring arrive Looking back the preparations and efforts the Grounds Department have experienced before and during the winter of 2015 will not be fully realized until the transition from snow covered ground to freshly clipped grass Winter injury is a complex issue dependant on soil moisture plant acclimation processes temperature extremes fall and winter sunlight plant and soil respiration and spring dehardening rates It is a paradigm that confuses the brightest of people but inevitably makes one appreciate the complexities of nature and the majesty of a sparkling dew kissed fairway on a sunny spring day Although that day is fast approaching 18 SPRING 2015 19 the biggest gains in golf course improvements are often realized in the shoulder seasons Necessary course improvements and cultural practices demand time labour and occasionally large equipment all of which result in varying degrees of course disruption The real gains are achieved when additional manhours are available and work can be performed efficiently without causing undue interference to play One such improvement was the initiation of the 2015 Woodlot Management Project This project focuses on enhancing the longterm health of the forest ecosystem while maximizing other benefits in a financially responsible way A licensed Provincial Forester selected declining trees for saleable removal while promoting featured cathedral White Pines Oaks Birch Sugar Maple and Beech This will provide the backdrop to the 12th hole and include an The year ahead is one of excitement energy and challenge The awakening of the golf course will be met with another active golf schedule as well as the completion of the 9th green surround project the re alignment of the 1st tee and the opening of the much anticipated Pro Shop and Clubhouse renovations and addition In closing we greatly appreciate the time and patience extended to us by our Membership in order to complete these very crucial tasks and projects With your support and the co operation of favorable spring weather the entire Grounds Department is committed to preparing the setting for an exciting golf season For those who are interested in learning more about the Club s best cultural practices and in depth turf management information please visit the LHCC
