The End of The Season
Well another season gone and as usual one filled with ups & downs, personal joy and disappointment and of course controversy.
But lets not dwell on that. To end the year and celebrate the achievements of our new League Champion, Mr Carl Gregory, and the other years winners this years Prize Giving was held at the Hayloft. The evening kicked off with with a Steak dinner, before the presentation and ended with a Rock’n’ Roll comedy show.
The Master of ceremonies for the evening was non other than our own Captain, Mick Moore. Normally the Captain is assisted by his Vice, but this year he had a bit of extra help.
This year the prizes were presented by William Sharman, Uk’s No1 110m hurdler.

The Ringing in of the new
The 2010 season is soon to start with the first event at College Pines on the 27th Feb. Even here 2010 has brought change; instead of the normal Cob this year you will get breakfast and for the first time we will have a shotgun start. Lets hope it doesn’t turn out to be a Turkey or a dead duck.
The upgrade in food is a theme you will notice this year at many events. The idea to provide the members with “more bang for their Buck”. The cost of this extravagance I hear you ask an increase in the average cost of 2 GBP over last years prices.
Five New Venues add to the changes for 2010. The fist, the spring trophy moves from Skeggy to Mablethorp the next Stoneleigh Deer Park
(nr Coventry) in May.
Stoneleigh is a short course (6056yds) with many 300 year old trees.

This rich history will make all the difference when you hit one.
Next Up Windmill Village, again near Coventry. This is a modern hotel complex and and as such boasts good facilities. This is followed by Izaak Walton GC about 2 miles from Stone in Staffordshire. This one has loads of water on the back 9 so beware.
Rounding the newbies off is St Thomas’s Priory at Rugely. A few quirky holes but good greens and a free pint thrown in so can’t be bad.
Kings & Queens
Back by popular demand Ian Young is organising this family event and BBQ this summer at Ramsdale. So why not bring the missus for a go on the Par 3 course and let her make a pig of herself at the BBQ. See Forum for details.
