The condition of the course is at present being reviewed on a daily basis by the Head Greenkeeper John Bunton.
Whilst the snow is now quickly thawing, the sub surface still remains frozen and indifferent under foot. We also expect a large amount of surface water to remain on fairways, tees and greens until the air temperature improves.

For this reason and until further notice a daily review will be made by the Head Greenkeeper each morning. His findings will be reported to the main office circa 9am. At the time of this notice, 17th Jan, it is envisaged that the course will remain closed until at least 21st January.

I know you will find this hard to believe but last Sunday week Father Christmas paid a visit to CHGC to meet all the members’ children.

The day started for the kiddies with party food followed by the entertainer and at about 6pm Father Christmas crash landed his reindeer and sledge on the 18th Tee, and while the reindeer munched grass and had a rest, Craig whizzed out and collected Father Christmas to bring him back to the clubhouse to meet the kiddies.

However on route it was obvious that Craig had failed his orienteering Boy Scout badge because he got FC lost on route from the 18th tee to the club house and the poor kiddies almost didn’t get to see him, however FC saved the day and guided him safely to the club house front door.

FC had special dispensation to drive into the lobby (and we all know what happens if you do that in a buggy!!) and all the kiddies were screaming for FC to give out the Presy’s.

FC went upstairs to the restaurant and sat with the kiddies giving out Presy’s and good cheer.

Having completed this task successfully FC said goodbye and rushed of to do the rest of world.

Now wasn’t that a lovely story??

9 teams braved ice and snow to attend the final quiz night of the year and what a night. The general consensus seemed to be best quiz night ever with free mince pies and a great selection of really good food during the half time interval. The curry and popodums in particular were so good that many went for seconds and the chef was obliged to quickly produce additional rations.

As ever, pandaemonium was kept to a minimum under the masterful control of the quiz-master Wally Walton, although a number of teams did their best to test his mettle. Wally’s able assistant, Bob Rickwood, tried hard to to make the evening controversial with poor arithmetic on the scoring but Wally’s keen eye soon spotted the errors and corrected them before the ever enthusiastic player could form a lynch mob. Many thanks to those who helped Wally identify establish correct scoring.

The overall scoring was very close and resulted in a playoff for second and third place. The deciding question was “how many miles of motorway are there in the UK” (2241) “Bah Humbug” team entered an initial bid of 2000 miles which they changed to 10,000 miles allowing second place to go to “The Clots” with an answer of 7500 miles.

Winning team Camberley Tinselaratti - Tony and Lorna Russel, Simon and Alison Lapthorn, Stephen and Rosemary Martin.

2nd Place The Clots - Colin and Janet Waite, Alan Smith, Kevin Jones, Kevin Hinge, Ben Hinge

3rd Place Bah Humbug - Derek and hazel Jenkins, Phil and Elain Park, Phil Raven, Jose Kellenberger

Congratulations to all.

Finally we would like to wish all quiz player a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
