| 2018-19 Winter League Prize Winners… |
M&H Committee would like to congratulate this year’s prize winners, very well done. Also a big thank you to all of the members who entered and took part in the year’s tournament. With the mild winter weather the competitions were played largely on the main greens and the new temporary tees made the competition much more interesting. Thank you to the greenstaff team for their efforts throughout the winter period. |

| Are they auditioning for extras in the Lawrence of Arabia sequel? No....this is Lady Captain Brenda Richards and Olive Corner on holiday in Abu Dhabi, the word "Priceless" was used by Edna Morris who provided the picture…..I suspect there will be plenty of leg pulling after this picture is circulated!! |
