Another big thank you.

Having pestered you all for the past six weeks for prizes for the raffle,
thank you to all members and guests who supported the good cause.

Tues. 11th. August - Seniors Charity Open

Blessed by perfect weather, yesterday's event was a great success.. Thank you to all of the following 'volunteers' who made it so:

  • All the members who took part
  • All the members who brought visitors (47 in total) to the event
  • The members who introduced sponsors for our fund raising
  • Members who contributed raffle prizes (The raffle raised £385)
  • The 'on course' helpers: James, Nigel, Roy, Dinger, Tina and Val
  • The putting competition genius Terry (the competition raised £70)
  • Alan Lake, who prepared all the scorecards and recorded and processed all the results
  • Mike Steward who prepared and printed the programme
  • Kevin Timms who put in many hours connecting with and encouraging sponsors
  • Barry Holmes and his wife Jane who organised the raffle
  • Last but not least, my wife Maggie, who ran registration 
I think that's all, I hope I haven't missed anybody.

I also think that we have raised in the order of £2000 for Air Ambulance.

(There are 2 unclaimed raffle prizes, ticket nos. 524 and 818. I will use these for 'future prizes' if they remain unclaimed by next week)

Tues. 4th. August 2015

Result of today's match at Bicester:

Perhaps losing 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 isn't so bad after all. Today's team of stalwarts managed to lose 1 1/2 to 4 1/2, Dave Williams and Bill Ford being our only winning pair.
Once again a very enjoyable golfing occasion and once again thank you to all those who took part.

Results from the Individual Stableford played today (4th August).


Division1.
FIRST: Roger Laban 33 CB
SECOND: Geoff Mills 33

Division 2.
FIRST: Bert Hale 38
SECOND: Gerry Collier 36

Division 3.
FIRST: Dave Stone 33

Just a reminder that the charity open will be played next Tuesday. I still do not have enough prizes
for the raffle. If you haven't yet donated a prize, then I would be grateful to receive your offerings 
next Thursday at the medal.  Thank you. VC.

Sign Up Sheets

There is a new sign up sheet on our notice board for the next round of the Summer Stableford.

Some members have expressed the opinion that the sign up sheets should be on the 'old' notice board in the changing room.
This board is not big enough for all of our notices and the Committee's opinion is that as everyone has to come into the Sports Bar to sign in for each competition it should be the most straightforward arrangement to use the 'new' one upstairs.
The last 'sign up' for the August medal was straightforward and I thank all the members for making it so.
