In the evening, the President, his guests and club members sat down to a delicious dinner provided by the staff of the Loft bar & Restaurant. This was followed by the presentation of prizes to all the winners.

He thanked the greens staff for presenting the course in such a good condition and welcomed his guests, some who had travelled long distances to be present and lastly thanked his wife Olive and family for their support throughout the year and over the weekend.
