On Friday evening the popular Scramble took place followed by burgers in bar. On Saturday evening Captain Anthony & his family invited all members to a wine & cheese reception followed by music by the wonderful Knox Wilson. Finally on Sunday evening we had the Prize Giving for the competitions over the week. Captain Anthony thanked everyone for their support & thanked all the club staff who work in the office, shop, bar & course to make these events a success.
