The 'Back To School' Competition - 30 August
We have some members who work very hard for the juniors and Cath Jenkins is no exception. This tournament started last year and was fully financed by Cath as it was this year. She's put up a magnificent trophy and a very generous load of prizes including a £100 voucher for the winner, balls for birdies and meals for everyone afterwards.

I should also mention that she funded a very successful junior away day at Blyth the previous Friday.

I know the juniors are highly appreciative of the massive investment in time and money that Cath makes during the year. From me and on behalf of the whole club, a big thank you Cath.

Myself, Lady Captain Irene and Cath played in our own personal 3 ball while club champion, Margaret Kennington, played with our junior girls which ensured their participation. Their scores of 70 and 78 net were brilliant - well done.

In our private adult competition, myself and Irene were polite enough not to win and left it to Cath and Margaret. Actually, Cath won but decided she shouldn't and gave the prize of a bottle of wine to Margaret!

And now the important result. Shaun Fenwick was the 2005 Champion and successfully defended his title with a magnificent 65. He did have a few distractions during the round, which is another story altogether, so his victory was even more impressive.

Well done Shaun and to all the juniors who competed.
