Winner Paul Jones with the Jim Peacock Away Day Trophy
Forty of the Senior Section's finest made the trip up the A1 to Rutland Water under leaden skies wondering if the weather forecasters had got it wrong for our annual Away Day.
But after a hearty full English and coffee the clouds parted to leave a pleasant, sunny and warm - if a little blustery - day.
Results were mixed to say the least with many of us struggling to cope with the tricky greens.
But, as ever, others produced impressive results as became clear as the presentation was held on the terrace with its equally impressive views of Rutland Water.
Nearest the pin prizes were won by Keith Howlett (4th), Jack Shepherd (7th), David Barlow (12th) and Andy Brown (17th).
In third place, with 35 points was Peter Harvey. Runner up on 36 points was Tony Whittaker, but the winner, with an amazing 40 points, was Paul Jones who is now the proud recipient of the Jim Peacock Away Day Trophy. And before anyone asks, yes he did put a card in so will probably be cut.
In last place, but with arguably the best prize - a golf lesson with one of our pros - was the man who has organised the Away Days for so many years before stepping down from the role - Richard Coventry.
This year's organiser, Steve Mathers, was also presented with a bottle of bubbly by Captain David.
