Our Green is up and running and we have had a great week. Our Mens Captain and Vice Captains teams (ably assisted by lady members) played their first matches; members also enjoyed a Sunday Roast cooked by volunteers and Simon Marsh our most recent Life Member was presented with the picture of his award.

Plus at the Bristol Indoor Finals Stan, Brad and Callum won their Indoor finals and Marshall was narrowly defeated.

Callum won the men’s championship and will represent Bristol in the Championship of Champions next season.

Well done everyone!

Sunday saw members out for the final maintenance day before the start of the season on Thursday; thanks to everyone who has helped out in the close season
