Summer BBQ

The summer BBQ this year was held at a new venue in Farnley owing to the past host and club Chairman, Douglas Thomson having moved away from the area. Douglas had been Chairman for approximately 15 years, it was a well-earned retirement!

Douglas received the presentation of some gifts, a retirement cake along with Honorary Life Membership for services to the club (pictured below)

The bouncy castle laid on at the BBQ proved very popular with the children - of course!

Club Championships

Two club championships are held during the year. One open to all and the other for the top 20 players in the club, both are handicapped.
Currently Crhis Lawton retains the 'elite' competition but recently relinquished the open competition cup that was won by Mike Dixon (pictured below)

Honorary Life Membership

John Foster was awarded honorary life membership for outstanding service to the club over many years. The presentation was made by Chairman Douglas Thomson at the same time as the presentation was made to the winner of the club championship. John has been a past club chairman, almost single-handedly keeping the club running at one point. More latterly John has been an excellent membership secretary for a number of years, finally relinquishing the post after the committee reluctantly let him retire!
