Picture this. Bristol Airport, end of March, past midnight, cold, wet and windy. Probably not in your top ten of holiday snaps!
And it came to pass that forty of Farrington’s finest arrived back after a week of Spanish sunshine only to find that the Almighty had decreed that Celsius from forthwith would be recorded in single figures only. What a shock to the system! However, an enjoyable time was had by all. Good golfing, fabulous food and booze by the bucket. Roll on next March.
The inaugural meeting of Farrington Park versus The Kendleshire kicked off the Friendly season of matches. In a keenly fought match, Farrington Park, playing away, took the honours with a fine 4½–2½ win.
Don’t forget to sign up for friendly matches this season. It is a very sociable affair and it doesn’t matter what your handicap is, so get your name down. Upcoming games are 4th April away to Stockwood Vale and home to Isle of Wedmore on 11th April.
