UK MAMS OPEN GOLF COMPETITION 2005 For the 2nd successive year the Abbey G & C Club was the venue for this annual event, providing excellent V.F.M. with great food and rooms coupled with good service. 20 players attended to show off their various golfing skills, and like last year, although not a particularly difficult course, no one “ burnt it up “!! The overall stableford winner was Stevie Lowe, 63 pts with Stu Whitton retaining the title of “most golf played “!! Due to the generosity of Keith Hubbard, who donated a Wilson Golf Bag (& also golf goodie bags for each entrant) the amount of prizes were increased on last year, and won by various players. Once again my thanks to the Squadron & the Association for the donations towards the prizes. Sadly Dixie Dean couldn’t compete on the 2nd day due to an old war wound, and because of work commitments Stu Askew had to cancel at the last minute, but at least that gave others the chance of winning the longest drive!!!!! 4 civvy guests attended (enjoying the service humour and banter), which equalled the amount of serving members!!!!!! only 1 of who was from Lyneham!!!!! Although staged during the 2nd week of October the weather was extremely kind, enabling Dougie B to compete in his customary shorts & polo shirt whilst everyone else was sweltering!!!!.......if you can’t play in “summer dress “it’s not worth it???? May I take this opportunity to say that like Families Day, Pengelly and Xmas this is an ANNUAL event and I apologise if 12 months isn’t enough notice for some!!! But undeterred by attendance figures ( bit like Swindon Town F.C.!!!), next years event is already in the pipeline and as soon as dates ( August/September ) and venue have been finalised details will be published in Team Brief, on the movers website and in as many crew rooms as possible. Anyone interested please let me know, it’s never too early, or should you have any suggestions please contact me.
