VALENTINES DAY QUAD AM.

You could hardly believe it was February! It was a glorious day with hardly any wind and lots of sunshine. Great conditions for our Valentines Quad-am. 32 players took part and many thanks go to Alex Bushby who as our reserve came and took part at the last minute following a call off. Thanks Alexandra.

Also many thanks to Marion who single handedly did the draw, posted the notices and the provided the cards and a copy of the rules for us all. Unfortunately Iain was called away to Sheltand for a few days. So many thanks Marion for a great job.
The winning team are below:
From left to right, Dawn Butchart, Iain Butchart. Peter Tinker who presented the prizes, Sheena Scott and Sandy Robertson.

2nd place Team:
From left to right Dougie Gillespie, Peter Tinker who presented the prizes, Rob Milligan, Eric Gray and Russell Peacock.

Following a superb meal with excellent service, we were all treated to a 'Mystery Guest' who was none other than our very own Gwyn Gray. Gwyn was a real treat with a touch of both humour and warmth she was a delight to listen to. Here are a couple photos of her during her performance:

Then our compere, David Norman took over for the rest of the evening, when he hosted a 'Mr & Mrs' competition. David puts so much work and effort into these events we are truly lucky to have him! Here he is below:
He certainly gets into the spirit of the evening!! He managed to cajole 5 couples into taking part:
They were from left to right Anne and Eric, Sheena and Jack, Lesley and Graham, Dawn and Iain and Joan and Eric.
Here are a few photo's of what really was a lot of fun.



After lots of fun and very close finish in 2nd place was Joan and Eric with 16.5 out of 20 and the overall winners were Dawn and Iain with 18 out of 20.


Our winners Dawn and Iain.
Many thanks once again to Marion for all her hard work and David and the Centre for another super mixed event.
P.S. What do you think of the new pond?? Isn't if fantastic! Over the weekend our Captains Jack and Jane did quite a bit of research on it. They even, on our behalf, checked to see how big the splashes were when a ball hits the water from the tee!!! Thoughtful or what!
