Battle of Britain Stableford

Report 22/08/2018


Apart from a fine drizzle early on, the competition was played in good conditions by 67 seniors.

On this day every year, we support The Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) who support serving and ex serving members  and their families. In 1929, in the Sergeants Mess at RAF Andover, three men named Vernon Goodhand, Joe Pearce and Warrant Officer Bartlett met to discuss the formations of a single organisation dedicated to the welfare of serving and ex serving RAF personnel, one which would replace the many smaller organisations that had grown to keep former servicemen in touch since the end of the First World War.

I heard today that we have a new Ant & Dec, namely Ted Bryden & Stuart Pope, who were seen riding together in a buggy!! We’ll have to find out more about this.

So the only money paid out today was for the two’s comp, £11 each to Maurice Arnold, Brian Hodder and Keith Branchflower, who said that will go towards his fuel bill for the last 5 weeks touring around France.

Thanks to you today, we are glad to hand over to RAFA £134.00.

So, to the results :
