Frank McDonald wishes to express his thanks to all those, Ladies and Gents who participated in their events. Particular thanks are due also to Pat Taylor and Steph Watson for conducting early morning reception duties (not an easy task but made all the more pleasant by Steph’s distribution of ‘sweeties’) and to the pro shop staff (Sarah also contributed to the Poppy Fund) who followed on by managing entries to the competition for the rest of the day. With a score of 43 stableford points, Derek Thompson was the winner of the men’s event on countback from Peter Taylor who also scored 43 points. The difference being Derek’s hole in one at the 5th!

Congratulations to both winners who will receive a commemorative medal to mark their achievement.
