Newly installed Seniors Captain Steve “here we go then’’ Ball welcomed members present for his first competition at the helm. He thanked Alan Smith for his achievements during his reign as captain.

Steve brought to the attention of those members who were not present at the recent AGM a number of small changes that they should be aware of. Namely any two’s on a temporary green will not qualify for a money prize. Also, in the Winter, if the twelfth green is temporary the hole will not be played. Finally, on the thirteeth hole all knockout competitions played in the Summer will be from the yellow tees and Wednesday competitions again in the Summer, would be from the tee of the day.

Alan Smith presented the Secretary of Chelwood Bridge Rotary Club Tony Quinn with a cheque for £5693.69 for the Water Survival Box Appeal. A fantastic amount raised during Alan’s year as Senior Captain. This will fund thirty eight boxes, each containing survival equipment and most importantly a water purification system - each one providing two hundred thousand litres of safe drinking water for a family of five.
