Tony at 90 (19-3-21)
Tony meeks has joined the Friday Gang Nonentities! ...Congratulations to Tony.

Sadly due to Covid restrictions it was not possible to arrange a function at the club - BUT I have organised a Tankard & card for him, which I will take round to his home. Sadly only the base has arrived so far but I will deliver it all as soon as possible.
I put these from us all - so if you care to make a donation towards these,
you can do so when we meet up.

AWAY DAY AT LEE PARK .........31st Oct 16
The weather was great and the course new to most of us.

Our welcome and the food were very enjoyable and the course was good, but the greens were a bit slow and bobbly after work on them.

The day was enjoyed by all and the scores very close with only 2 points between all the teams

Brian N, Alan and Robin won by less than a shot from Ron, Dennis, Colin and Peter.

Brian N also got a Golden Ferret on the 8th, with Robin getting a more coventional 2 on the 13th.

Thanks to all who took part, in particular our guests, who added greatly to the day.
Get well soon Brian W.
