Today was the first of this years away days which on this occasion was at Chesfield Downs.

Those who were lucky enough to attend showed great enthusiasm and comaradiry throughout the day.

It appears that Lady Luck was smiling down on us as we managed to miss the rain just as the last group came in. However, she was not so accomodating when it came to the strong winds which may have hampered many of us on this excellent course.

Steve King's persistence awarded us a private room in which to socialise, indulge in our delicious two course meal whilst also affording us privacy for the speeches and presentations.

I would like to thank Dave Watts for scrutinising the cards (nobody does it better), and Dave Sephton for being today's photographer, and publishing on our website. However, our biggest thanks must go to our Competition Secretary Steve King who organised the venue and completed the administration. It is fair to say, he always goes the extra mile.

Last but not least, l would like to acknowledge all the Vens that attended today and made it another memorable Away Day.
