Congratulations to all the competitors and organisers of this wonderful event.

It certainly gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see eveyone out there having such a great time.

I see these events as a win/win for everyone.

Special congratulations to Mark Stimpson for having the foresight to organise the training assistance at our club and to Chris Connor for his involvement with the disabled golfers.

Again a special mention to our volunteer members Richard Massey, Steve Laing, Mick Wilson and Steve Craven who all generously contributed to the training days.
