The Seniors’ section of Fosseway Golf Club celebrated another enjoyable season, with a Presentation Lunch at the Centurion Hotel, Midsomer Norton.

It was an event tinged with sadness, however, following the death of the appointed Captain, John Appleton. His widow, Anne, was in attendance, and presented a new trophy to the Seniors for the Over-75s competition.

The Player of the Year Award for the Roger Tabb Trophy was shared between Mike Ricketts and Bill Lester. Pat Cray enjoyed another successful season, winning the Club Championship for the Rupert Moore Cup, the Ted Cottle Over-70s Cup, and claiming the Bill Lester Trophy, alongside Bob Smith.

Ricketts was top in both the gross and nett sections of the Winter Eclectic, while also claiming the Captain’s Trophy and taking the Smith and Broadway Gruesomes Cup, alongside Arthur Bellinger and the Committee Cup in partnership with Pete Fitch.

Martyn Cuer had an impressive first year, with the Seniors capturing the Don Shearn Trophy, the Rod Bruce Scratch Championship Cup, the Summer Eclectic Gross and the Stan Brown Trophy with Captain, Gerry Rowell. Graham Edgell produced an outstanding round to win the Seniors’ Open, and took away the Colin Eaton Vase in the three-club challenge.

A special presentation was made by Secretary, Ray Lake to Colin Moon, who has relinquished his position of Treasurer after many years of loyal service.
