33 members and guests from Alfie’s GS travelled to El Valle GC for the October meeting and to compete for the Memorial Cup. Our Memorial Cup was introduced a few years ago to remind us of members who have now past.
This year was more poignant as it fell on El Dia de Los Muertos, where the Spanish use Halloween to honour the dead and celebrate the continuity of life. It was also the day we handed over our annual donation to the Royal British legion for the Poppy Appeal, so a big thank you to everyone involved with Alfies GS.
The course was in excellent condition, as was the weather, so no excuses and congratulations to our winners.

Our winner of the gold division was Steve Bicks with 36 stableford points.
Second place went to Ian Connell with 35 stableford points.
Our winner of the silver division, and retaining her title from last year, was Rita Potters with 38 stableford points.
Second place went to Jim Dempsey with 32 stableford points.
