The Past Captains’ Trophy Competition went well on the day. I introduced the evening by welcoming and thanking all the Past Captains attending and read the apologies from those who could not attend.

Chris Birch kindly said the grace. I refrained from telling too many bad jokes but couldn’t resist one or two. Everyone enjoyed the meal.

There was plenty of good-hearted banter around the table and later we discussed the decline in Ladies membership and possible ways to move forward. All those dining have a wealth of experience and ideas. It was good to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions.

The highlight of the evening had to be the prize presentation. I was delighted to present the prize of a sleeve of balls to Jennie Flower who had come in with a fabulous score of nett 63. Jennie will receive the Trophy on the presentation evening.

All the Past Captains present wanted me to convey their best wishes to ALL Leek Golf Clubs Lady Past Captains.
