The weather was calm but extremely cold making playing the greens difficult.That did not deter the 30 seniors who played. A good turnout considering the temperature.

Senior Captain, Dennis Sutherland thanked the fairway staff of Karen and Tony for looking after everyone on the cold and frosty morning. Thanks also went to committee members Jim Wooley and Bill Scott for their administration help and thanks went to Trevor Body for his help on collecting the money early morning.

A final thanks was expressed to Vice-Captain John Hornblow for collecting the charity balls in the water in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.

Birthdays were celebrated with sausage and chips supplied by the birthday boys Bill Scott and Jim Hudson. Thank you from all players as it was enjoyed after a chilly round of golf. Happy birthday to you both.

Dennis then presented prizes to the following:
