Our greenkeepers received lots of praise from our visitors.

Thanks to all the helpers during the week – markers, cooks, kitchen hands, umpires, managers. Special thanks to Rocco Spinella and his lasagna making team, Frieda Hayward for managing all four days and Tony Robinson who organised the 36 markers needed for the singles

Fifty-two of the vouchers were purchased and so far 35 groups of 4 or 5 have experienced the game – hopefully some will become regular night owls players. Thanks to coaches Linda and John Kirby and Bob Tuck who have helped the new players.

Last Thursday one of the new players delivered her second ever bowl and it disappeared! She was wearing a loose cardigan and the bowl had lodged in her pocket
