Kelly Salvers - Tuesday, 27 October
The weather was kind to us as twelve Ladies' members were randomly drawn and paired with Seniors' members for this annual mixed pairs greensomes stableford competition. The scores ranged from 25 to an outstanding 41 points from winners Nicky Stilwell and Tony Crawford (Seniors' Vice Captain). Runners up, Ladies Captain Jean White and Geoff Roberts were just pipped at the post with a worthy 40 points.
A tasty light lunch followed with applause for our catering team and good wishes for Tina in her new job when she leaves Hockley towards the end of November. A few words from Geoff, Seniors' Captain and Jean then the presentation of the two Jim Kelly silver salvers rounded off an enjoyable day.
The photograph, taken by Club President Bob Stilwell who had joined in the competition, shows both Captains with winners Nicky and Tony.
