Festive Croquet & Cakes
Many thanks to Fran for organising a festive Croquet & Cakes on Sunday which was very successful. Lots of delicious festive food and mulled wine. 34 people attended and Roger did the 100 club draw which will be announced shortly.
Thanks to Fran and to Angela for the photos.
Refurbishment progress
Thanks to Simon of Harrity Construction and Richard Carline for a very informative visit to see at first hand the work being done in our canteen. I think everyone was impressed by how it is coming on, and a lot of good questions asked.
Richard also gave us a fly-through of the plans in 3D!
Thanks again to Simon and Richard.

As happened to the last competition, tomorrow's GC doubles has been cancelled due to poor forecast.

Informal Summer AC competition won by Chris Rolph
Continuing for the first year the informal winter AC Hougon Trophy, the same group played over the summer for the Rottingdean Windmill trophy donated by John.
It was won by Chris Rolph who narrowly beat Chrissie on points, with David third. Hammy and John draw a large veil over theirs, but will do better in the winter event now started!
The aim of the group is to have an incentive to play competitive friendlies with players of similar ability.
