2nd – Nigel Turner – 34 points

3rd – Tony Travers – 32 points – ocb

4th – Graham Thompson – 32 points – ocb

Charity Match

Wednesday 16th September

Match Report

Ladies and gentlemen of Wyboston, please give yourself a round of applause. Thanks to you, our Charity Day raised the magnificent sum of £915.02. Yes, “and 2 pence” – more on that, later.

I have spoken to Ellie Burke at Moggerhanger, and Ellie has asked me to pass on her thanks to you all for such a wonderful effort.

Thank you to all those who contributed in any way – players, guests, hole / prize sponsors – to those who made donations of cash and raffle prizes – all those who purchased raffle tickets, which alone raised £332.

There are many people who deserve our thanks, but two in particular.

The 4 ball voucher for St. Neots attracted only 2 bids. One was from a simple country boy who thought that £100 was a fair offer for something valued at £140 – no other thought entered his head. Not so, Tom Greaves – he had given this a lot of thought and tried to get into the mind of others that might bid. He decided that bids would be in the region of £100 and pitched his bid at £100.02 and won the day. Brilliant - “creative accountancy” at its best, nurtured during his time working in the accounts department at Sheffield Wednesday. His handicap will be reduced by 12 points and that shooting stick might just find a new home. Thanks, Tom – very generous and much appreciated.

I would also like to mention Steve Begnett who put in a tremendous amount of thought and effort into making the day run smoothly. He probably wouldn’t have played anyway – after all, it was raining.
