Details of the day are: 10.00 am Coffee/Bacon rolls. 11.00 am First tee-off. 4.30 pm approx. Two-course meal followed by presentations. The format for the Individual Competition will be individual Stableford off full handicaps. The winning Member will receive the Morton Cup, which was won last year by Andy Cox. There will also be a team competition for the revived AJ McNally Trophy. Three teams will be made up on a “geographical” basis eg North/Central/South – more details will need to await the take-up which I will communicate a week or so before the date. However, to help my preparations, when replying “yes” to this email can you please also confirm which Golf Club you belong to. The trophy was won last year by the “Cheltenham” team of Rose Jump, Roger Malvern & Andy Cox. The Trophies will, as usual, be supplemented by fantastic prizes (!) for such as Longest Drive, Nearest the Pin, Runners Up. If you are interested in hiring a buggy, may I suggest you contact the Pro-Shop direct The cost is £45.00 per person which includes a contribution to prizes etc. Can you please let me have your replies as soon as possible and preferably not later than 2 July. As I will have to settle up with the Course on the day, could you please let me have the £45 in advance if possible. Online payments would be especially welcome: Barclays, 20-20-15, G&C Golfing Society A/C 53320367 (using your surname as Reference). Cheques are difficult for me to handle so, if you cannot pay online, cash on the day would be the less problematical option. Many thanks. Best regards Ian Tel: 01242 673976 Mobile: 07968 128649

We are hoping for good support for our first event of the season and, as always, guests are more than welcome - including ladies, who manifestly enhance the occasion. The cost for the day will be £40.00, the same as last year. Donations of prizes for both the golf and raffle would be most welcome. Please let me have your replies as soon as possible but not later than 27th April. As I will have to settle up with the Course on the day, could you please let me have the £40 in advance if possible.
