On behalf of the Seniors, Treasurer Bill Poulton presented Sue with a bouquet of flowers as a token of their appreciation for her help over the years.

Seniors Xmas Fayre

On Wednesday the 9th December 32 Seniors gathered at the Club to complete a grueling 14 holes of golf prior to partaking of their Xmas Fayre lunch accompanied by their good ladies. After the recent spell of bad weather, the dull overcast day was somewhat of a relief to this hardy band of intrepid golfers, and apart from the odd shout of “You are losing ground” ( heard going down the 3rd ), the morning was a great success with everyone returning to the Clubhouse safe and sound.

Pre lunch drinks was a very civilised affair with no rowdyism (as to be expected from mature gentlemen golfers). Lunch followed a similar pattern with everyone enjoying the usual superb cuisine. With a past Captain marshalling the 7 Table Captains like a well rehearsed flock, he thus ensured that the ravenous diners were fed in a timely and orderly manner.

On to the prize giving where some useful scores were posted with Roger Walton, Gerry Selves and Keith Wailes all being in the frame. The Xmas Fare Crown however, went once again to Ted Cummins, well done Ted. One golfer was overheard muttering that we should purchase a black mask in preparation for next year, his ramblings were of course ignored as he was thought to be nearing his maximum alcohol intake.

Keith Wailes was then presented with a rescue club in appreciation for his unstinting hard work as Seniors Organiser over the last year. As reported at the Seniors AGM, after 3 years at the helm Keith is having to step down from this important post for personal reasons. His services will be greatly missed and we all wish him well. Bill Poulton was then presented with a bottle of Cheer as a measure of appreciation for his work as Treasurer.

This very pleasant afternoon finished off with Christmas greetings all round, followed by carriages and zimmer frames at about 4.30 pm, although it has been reported that some retired to the bar finally departing at about 8 pm.

Late Breaking News

The following day whilst playing with a Society at Camberley Heath, having delivered a mighty drive down the first fairway, Keith Wailes took an unfortunate tumble down the slope in front of the tee and ended up with a broken ankle.
You have our sympathy Keith and we hope that you can cope with the next 6 weeks in plaster. As a suggestion, you might consider inverting your new golf club and using it as a walking aid.
