Success at Sand Martins

With weather set fair the Company had one of its Majors at Sand Martins Golf Club yesterday. The course was in wonderful condition with the greens running fast and true.


It was a close fought battle for the spoils and the results were as follows:


Winner –      James Carver 36 (on count back)

Runner-up –   John Traynor 36 

3rd Place –   Peter Robb 34
4th Place –   James Metzger 33

Nearest The Pin – Peter Robb

Longest Drive –  Peter Robb
 

Some very good individual performance are worth a mention:

John Traynor – 24 points going out – 1 over gross, James Carver 19 points going out

The golf was followed by a particularly good meal in the club house and then the presentation of the prizes by the Master. My thanks go out to the Master and his wife for hosting the event and to Mike O’Connor who donated the golf balls to go with the prizes.

By general consent it was agreed that Sand Martins was a perfect venue for the event next year and the Master will book that to ensure we get the date firmly fixed in the club diary.

Second Lunchtime Concert Series in St Barts the Less The first recital of the new season was on  Wednesday 18th September with CMF alumni (2015) Andrey Lebedev and Bartosz Glowacki
The church was full, with many people returning who had attended events during the last season, and the response was enthusiastic. Bartosz and Andrey played works that they will be performing in the Festival Cervantino in Mexico as part of the CMF International Programme. One member of the audience was effusive in his praise for their “natural, expressive relationships” with their instruments.
