The day was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The weather was dry, warm with sunny hot spells in the afternoon. The green got faster as the day wore on making the later matches and finals tricky, especially if the jack was near the edge. Thanks to the organisers, Margaret and Dennis, Louise for organising the raffle and the ladies for again providing us with an excellent lunch.
