An excellent entry of 40 participants took to the field, and it was a pleasure to welcome so many members and guests to the course. The course was in excellent condition, followed by a carvery and presentation in the clubhouse.

The primary competition was the pairs better-ball stableford – which resulted in two pairs recording 49 points.

On count-back the winners were Ian Munday and his guest, Paul Broomfield, who received the perpetual trophy and £35 each in vouchers.

Runners-up were Adam Partridge and his guest, Steve Parr who received £20 each. There were two separate individual competitions – one for members and one for the guests.

Members: 1, Chris Stark 42pts; 2, Major Tinder 38pts; 3, David Still 36pts. Guests: 1, Graham Jacka 41pts; 2, Jim Bennett 38pts; 3, Bill Mitcham 32pts.

The following were winners in the on-course challenges, and each received a bottle of wine.

Longest drive on 3: Steve Parr; Nearest in 2 on 8: John Soulby (3.51m); Nearest the pin on 11: Jim Bennett (2.6m); Nearest in 3 on 18: John Soulby (2ins).

George Curnow donated a bottle of Glenfiddich whisky for a charitable putting competition prior to dinner – which left in the grateful hands of Chris Pashley. The real winners however were Shelterbox, as £60 was raised for the charity.
