A not so promising weather forecast performed a miraculous reversal that allowed the 26 teams down to start complete an uninterrupted days play, much to the delight of all.

We were again pleased to have the ever popular and exhuberant Allan Yates in attendance representing our sponsor for the day Giltrap North Shore Kia. Allan in his usual jovial yet professional manner was in high demand dealing with numerous enquiries from our members on the neat and nifty Kia Stonic that was on display for all to see. We are truly indebted to our loyal band of sponsors for their ongoing support and contributions to our club, Giltrap North Shore Kia are no exception. Thank you Allan for your personal conribution to the day, thank you for your kind words regarding our club, and thank you Giltrap's for the lovely chilly bags, an added bonus for some our our lucky members.
