Annual Dinner & Golf Friday 13 October 2023
The Cotswolds Hotel, Golf & Spa, Chipping Norton
Once again, heavy rain threatened to spoil Friday’s golf. But it couldn’t entirely dampen our spirits as we enjoyed our second consecutive stay at the Cotswolds Hotel. Last year, he was runner-up in both Friday’s and Saturday’s competitions; this year Captain Dave was thwarted again by some inspired golf, first by Tristan Gretton (Friday) and then by John Graham (Saturday). In spite of some hiccups, Friday’s dinner was a success, thanks to our master of ceremonies and main speakers who all sparkled.

President’s Day Report
Badgemore Park Golf Club - Wednesday 13 September, 2023
The 16 players who participated in Alec Bath’s President’s Day included 4 guests - so another disappointing turnout for the last Society Day of the year. Those who did play had a great day, enjoying lovely weather, a good golf course and an excellent dinner. Tim Shaughnessy was in imperious form, winning both the President’s Cup and the Past Captains’ Cup by a wide margin. But his team was pipped for the Autumn Cup by the dream team of Roger Dyer (guest), Phil Spracklen and Giuseppe Lo Bue. Paul O’Neill won the Guest’s Prize.

Well played, Team!
