The main event at our club this week was the IF Sponsored Trips played on Friday. Once again there was a threat of rain in the air, but we went ahead at 08:30 as planned. The format for this competition is that entered teams draw for opponents. The teams then play three skins of 7 ends. For each skin won two points are scored with an additional 4 points going to the overall winner. The fine mist turned to a light drizzle as the last teams came into the clubhouse.
Winners by a large margin were Fred Palmer, Dave Garrard and Mike Fairhurst. Second prize went to Beth Williams and Peter Bailie who were forced to play a pairs match when one of their team did not arrive. Sincere thanks to all the fellows at Investment Facilitators for their generous support over the last year.
Although activities are winding down a bit as we move towards the end of the year, we have a Chicken Run this Saturday, and the Quarry Spar Christmas Cup will take place on 20 December. An entry list has been placed on the notice board.
With the exception of Christmas Day, normal tabs-in games will be played during the holiday season.
Duties: 14 – 20 Dec: OOD: Margie Garrard. Tabs: Derick Hull. Duty Team: Fred Palmer. Teas on Sat 20 Dec: N/A – Quarry Spar Lunch. Biscuits: 16 & 18 Dec: Vince Seale & Gil van der Hoven.
