Stu is Moving On
After nearly two years working with us Stu has decided to change career path and therefore will be leaving us with his last day being Sunday 20th December.
It has been great fun working with Stu and his sense of humour and banter is something we will remember for a long time. Stu will still be around the club playing in competitions and friendly matches so you we look forward to seeing him. We wish him all the luck in the career he chooses which I am sure he will be successful in.

In 2nd place with 40 points was James Taylor-Alford and in 3rd on countback over Nick Pedlar and Mark Emerson with 38 points was Richard Kennedy! There were also only 3 two's on the day, these came to Iain McDermott, John Davy and Nick Pedlar. Each have had their accounts in the pro shop credited with £14.66!

Xmas Spirit Results
The 2015 Xmas Spirits have now finished and as usual they were hotly contended. We were lucky to play all of them on a full qualifying course although the weather did make some considerable differences as winning scores ranged from 33pts to 47pts!
Winners in the Best 5 Scores Competition were: Mike Wallis, JDW Davies, James Taylor-Alford, John Yates, Dennis Lea, Owen Davies, Stephen Lockert and Karen Cox.
Winners of the individual Spirit Competitions were: John Yates x2, Mike Wallis, Ian Moore, Adam Longford, Richard Kennedy, Simon Chapman and Kevin Cartlidge.
Well done to all, but as usual it doesn't end there and all players with one or more scores of 36 points or higher will also be winners. However please remember the cardinal rule of this competition - you MUST attend the prize-giving or nominate someone to attend on your behalf to collect it.
That means for those of you with a score of 34/35pts it still might be worth coming to the club on Sunday Afternoon and hoovering up any unclaimed prizes. We live in hope!
