Successful Captains Drive In
On Saturday 28th March, this year's Captains - Steve Bocquet (Club), Janice White (Ladies), Peter Leverick (Seniors) and Sam Todd (Juniors) - led a large contingent of members in the annual Captains' Drive-In event to start the golf season. The afternoon included a variety of competitions. We had great fun using the new Flight Scope to monitor Longest Drive. Other events included chipping and putting followed by the Captain's complimentary refreshments in the Clubhouse. The event was a great success and we hope all the members enjoyed the afternoon. Well done to all the winners from each section.

Annual AGM Meeting Report
At the club AGM a very good member turnout was pleased to see Steve Bocquet elected Club Captain. Steve will benefit from the four years he spent as Club Chairman and thereby bring considerable experience to the role. Steve`s theme for the year ahead will be member participation and he already has his plans in place. We all wish him well. The club captain`s charity will be The Orchard Vale Trust. Erica Klim was elected Captain Elect and is the first woman in the county to hold this post. Everyone present was pleased with a good set of figures presented by financial director William Thompson. The key points included an increase in subscription revenue and the maintenance of a solid trading profit in line with recent years. Thompson has completed a three year cycle and will now stand down. He was warmly thanked by Chairman Geoff Ead. Mike Shave was elected to the Board as Thompson`s successor. Shave has a lot of experience and knowledge of this role and will be a great asset. Vice Chairman Andy Williams also stood down after a three year stint and will be succeeded by Alan Elkins.
