There will be two vacancies on the committee created by retiring members. Jayne Maxwell and Louise Williams have been nominated.

The retiring Lady Captain has on open house for all lady members after the luncheon, for those wishing to party on! For further information please contact the Lady Captain.

But for 10 in index 1 7th, Stuart could have clinched it and sympathies go out to him. Results…
** The balance of play for Category 1, 2 and 3 players (30% 2, 70% 3) was that 38% played within two shots of SSS resulting in CSS being reduced to 67.
