We celebrated our last Championship Day at La Serena last Sunday. What is it with all this wind? We have had two months of high winds, and it is proving to be a real challenge. Miguel our green keeper must be very happy with the rain of last night, he probably could do with some more.
Thank you, to you and all the staff for the continued improvements. The staff in the pro-shop have everything working like and a well-oiled machine, thanks are due to Bruno, Jean, Martha, Michael and Oscar for their professionalism. (Something about a diet and cranky, we will say no more) Thanks to Vanessa, Marijose, Duly and all the bar staff for looking after us as always.
Again, thank you to our competitions committee for their continued attention to detail. I must especially thank Alan and Ida for their assistance on the day. They were there from 08.00 and were amongst the last to leave after 16.00. A special thanks to all those who stayed back to show their appreciation of the hard work carried out on their behalf and to recognise the winners who were present to collect their prizes.

We also had the conclusion of our club championship and a very close contest it proved to be, with the result after one year of competing going down to the last hole. Congratulations to Clive Jenkins our new Champion. Captain Dave Stockton advised Clive that he only had the title for this year and Dave would be back to reclaim the throne next year. Well done one and all.
