The November Society day, the first of the Winter season, was held at Brombourgh Golf Club. To find it you basically you don't get a chance to follow the signs to Llangollen as its far too local for that.

The weather was overcast with showers, heavy at times, with occasional dryish periods and the very occasional glimpse of the sun. Basically our long (3 years plus) run of good Society Day weather seems to be coming to an end - but it was good whilst it lasted.

The Society has never been to Brombourgh before, but from the comments heard from many members it is a venue which we could be returning to. Despite the weather the ground was reasonably dry under foot, the course was challenging and well maintained, and it was'nt a hard slog round with few hills etc.

Considering the weather conditions scoring was quite high, with most members getting over 25 points. The Handicap Secretary appears to have got the Winter season handicaps generally right / consistant across the board - but no doubt there is the occasional minor disagreement with this.

The main competition of the Day was the CMP competiton, which this year took the form of a Calcutta Cup team format which brought out the competitor in all of us.

The results were as follows;-

4th Place    Peter Smythe, Neil McNay and Tony Anderson         

                                                      62 Stapleford points

3rd Place   Ian McCarthy, Ralph Vaighan, Carl Hayhurst and Graham Coupe

                                                      68 Stapleford Points

2nd Place   Tom Rogers, Ian Taylor, Dave Worron & Gordon Evans

                                                      82 Stapleford points

1st Place    Graham Almond, Mal Segar, Alan Bennett & James Arathoon

                                           85 Stapleford points

Many congratulations to the winners, who get to share in the CMP Cup at the presentation in just under 12 months time.

Alongside the main competition a side 18 hole competition was of Individual Stapleford score was held, again this was a relatively high scoring day, with the overall results were as follows;-

1st   Ian "no position pressure" Taylor 40 points

2nd  Mal Segar 37 points

3rd   James Arathoon  36 points

As there was no 2's competition inevitably 2 members scored a 2, which is just sods law when you think about it. So Neil McNay's 2 cancelling out Peter Smythes earlier 2 did'nt really have any great effect, but its nice to get one anyway.
