The August Medal had to be cancelled due to the torenrial rain.  After much consideretion it has been rearranged for Monday the 30th of August.  I realise this is a Bank holiday and some of you mat not be able to make it but with the September Medal being so early there were not many options. The first tee is reserved from 10.00 for the Junior Photoststic Cup so if you go off the 10th tee you will need to bear this in mind.

The Seniors have supported Beaumond House Hospice for a number of years and the 2010 Charity Day is on the 14th of October. The entry for the Charity competition will be £2,00 and there will also be a raffle. Tickets will star to be sold at the Autumn meeting on the 7th of October. I am now asking for donations for raffle prizes. Please help support this good cause and pass any raffle prizes to myself or our VCice Captain Howard lockwood.

The results of the July Eclectic was as follows:-

1st  Bernard Minion  27.5

2nd  Brian Sills  33.0

3rd  Howard Lockwood  36.00

This is a UK wide chartity event that is in support Cancer Research UK. Each club has an event and the winner goes forward to a Regional final and those winners go on to a National final. Our pre event raffle has raised over £250 and my thanks go to Peter Woodhall who organised the raffle.

The competition was held on Monday 14.06.2010. It was disappointing that it was only supported by 17 Seniors but we ended up raising a total of £277.00. The result was as follows:-

1st Mike Daniel 38 points.

2nd Keith Russell 35 points

The proceeds will be sent off with a request that the first two go forward to the Regional final. Once the details have been received they will be passed to the winners.

Keith Russell played in the area final at Torksey on the 19th of August and won the competition with 37 points on a count back. unfortunately he is unable to play in the National final as he will be cruising somwhere exotic.

The NGC Half way house is the envey of all the golf clubs we play matches against. We have approx120 seniors who should be able to undertake these duties.  Over the last few years it has become increasingly difficuld to get sufficient volunteers without ringing around. Consequently, we tend to get the same band of willing  'volunteers.  We need 24 'volunteers' per year and if  everyone takes their turn you should only do it every 5 years. In recognition, those of you who do volunteer will receive special consideration for the away matches you have signed up for'. I have detailed the volunteers to date below and urge those of you who have never volunteered or who have not volunteered for a long time to do so.

June Colin Appleby & Chris Alker               Dec. Tony Noble & Michael Daniel
