A big thank you goes to Josh Francis and the green's staff who had the course in great condition despite all the rain that we have had. Patricia Austin had the scoring under control, while Col Poulton and Kevin Longford manned the barbeque and Col was joined by Sue Hunter to make sure that the field got away on time.
