Hi Everyone

I would also like to thank all the sponsors for their kind generosity in sponsoring a hole on the day.
A big thank you to Sharon and Lorraine for calculating all the score cards on the day.
Also to our fantastic green keeper Sid for preparations to the course prior to the event & Gary Whitehorn for cutting the greens in the morning .
A massive thank you to our wonderful Carole Louise Winterbone for all that she does to make the clubhouse look spectacular with special events, all her efforts before, during and after never go unnoticed. xx
Thank you also to our lovely bar staff Gemma Stokes & Eva .
Thank you to Andy for all his help with putting the sponsor signs out with me and collecting them back in after event was finished.
