The start of November and the golf course had a definite autumnal feel about it. A cold start, but as the forecasters had correctly predicted, the day turned into a much more pleasant affair.
Waiting for the results to come in, the captain tried out his warm up routine on his unsuspecting audience. The overwhelming verdict: don’t give up your day job just yet!
Farrington Park Men’s Section held their AGM last week. Outgoing Captain Rob Riccio thanked his committee for all their help over his two-year term. He wished “all the best” to incoming Captain, Shane Phelps, and his Vice-Captain, Gary Prater, for their coming year.
Rob was pleased to announce that £7,000 had been raised for his chosen charity, Prostate Cancer UK, this year. He thanked everybody for their support.
