As we approach the Festive Season I want to thank you all for making this a successful

year for the society and for making my year so enjoyable.
Our committee of 2025 have been brilliant, they have worked tirelessly to make all our
events run smoothly and more importantly fun to take part in.
We have been exceptionally lucky with the weather this year and all our events were
played in sunny warm weather with not a drop of rain in sight. Fortunately we avoided the
very hot days of high summer, which would have proved rather challenging.

Our matches were well supported and we had a few new members playing which was
really pleasing. We had success at Littlehampton against Sussex and halved our matches with Kent and Hampshire but were not so lucky against Berkshire on a challenging
course at Castle Royle. Overall a creditable effort.

We raised £2027 from your generous donations at our raffles and ball sweeps during the
year and I thank you all for this. The monies are to be split between Battleback, a charity
we have supported for a few years and my chosen charity READY, which supports
youngsters with disabilities getting into sports.

I hope to see many of you at the AGM and lunch on  Wednesday 25th February 2026 at Walton Heath.
Details of next year’s programme will be on the website and in the 2026 handbook which
will be sent out in January 2026.

We will be playing at Woking, Fulwell, Tyrrells Wood, West Surrey and New Zealand.

A HEADS UP
Next year there will be slight changes in the entries for next years events. We will be using opening and closing dates for each event and encouraging you to enter online.
We would also prefer it if you could pay by BACS. Details will be in the handbook.

All that remains is for me, on behalf of our Committee, and myself, to wish you all a
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
