Congratulations to all.

Ken Doggrell got a 2 on the par 4, 3rd hole, for 5 points. Very well done Ken! I recall Ian Beatty doing something similar on 2011 captains day. A special prize was awarded to Martin Ansell, representing the veteran Seniors.

Thanks are due to John Morris, vice captain, for organising the day so well and to the Hon Treas for finding the money for refreshments.     For full results please click H E R E.
