Good afternoon everyone,

Axl Rose, aka new captain Julian Walden with his fellow kindred captains at his drive in yesterday.

Message from Jules
Thanks to all the members that attended my drive in yesterday. It was great fun with tasty food and lots of drink. A super SGC event ! Particular thanks to those that helped in the making and the help on the day. I am honoured to be captain of this great club this year and I look forward to many more events and some great golf !, regards, Jules.

THANK YOU
We should also say a big thank you to outgoing captain Mick Edmunds for all his work during the year, both within the club and representing us at all the Kindred events. Well done Mick !

Wednesday Xmas Awayday – Wed 3rd December
Message from Dave Seymour / Brian Taylor
The Wednesday Wanderers annual Xmas golf outing to Basildon golf club took place on Wednesday 3rd December and was very well attended with 35 members playing and a couple more attending for dinner.

The weather was glorious for the time of year and the course was in good condition although very wet after the heavy rain of the previous evening.

Scoring was very good in general and cash prizes were given to the top three places

The winner with 40 points was Chris Nash
Second place was Nick Chapman with 39 points
Third place was Pete Robinson with 39 points

Paul Gray and Colin Wyatt also had 39 points but missed out on countback

Nearest the pins prizes were won by Tony Pegrum (4th) and Nick Blenkinsop (14th). Nearest approach in 2 (5th) was won by Paul Gray.

A full Christmas dinner and beers went down well after an enjoyable day on the course. Captain Mick Edmunds thanked the organisers – Brian Taylor, Dave Seymour and Dave Buckley – for their input for the day.

Congratulations and well played to all the winners !
