Hi All the gent with thw camra was a professional journalist creating an article for a 'new' sporting magazine. The '3 good looking ladies at the traps' may well get into a Sunday Supplements - please keep a watch and let us all know. Ray Pond may have a better idea when the pics and article are going to be used. I have some pics of the Supreme Winners but at the mo I cant get them on to these pages. Can anybody offer me some help?

Glad most owners liked the event I think we will aim to go for the same weekend next year, but this will need to be agreed by EA committee.

What do you think about extending the distance back to 185 yard. Now there is no Hockey at the Lampton Playing Fields we have more room, and at this time of year no football matches to consider.
