COMPETITION SECRETARY SEASON END REPORT 2023

The curtain has just come down on the 2023 season with a superb Finals Day/weekend on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th September. It was certainly a hot weekend in more ways than one with the sun beating down relentlessly (32 degree heat; phew!) and the calibre of the games played out.

A massive thank you to Gaye Armstrong and Diana Stuckey for donning their catering pinnies and stepping up to the mark in cooking bacon rolls for breakfast and pulling together filled baguettes for lunch. Well done ladies!

Many congratulations to all our competition winners and runners up and a big thank you to all markers and scorers.

Many congratulations too to all the winners and runners up of the internal competitions.

The 2023 season has been marred by a number of EBC’s stalwart playing members being plagued by injury and/or illness. It meant that the one day competitions were lower in numbers taking part and the knock-out competitions turned into a bit of a “dosey doe” as a number of partner changes were required before a wood was played. However, all worked out well and all knock-out competitions were played and completed.

We wish all our injured players a healthy and speedy recovery and very much look forward to seeing them back on the green in 2024.

2023 brought in some excellent new playing members. Jon Youngs was overall winner on Cavendish Day, John Powell won the Mixed Drawn Pairs with his partner Janet Brooks and Tom Wallcraft was a member of the runners up team in the Ferry Walsh Memorial. Well done guys! EBC encourages all its new members to go forward for the knock out competitions next year; especially the Junior Championships. Let’s make 2024 more robust with numbers taking part than it has been in a while.

A huge thank you to Jane Harris for once again doing an excellent job in organising all the raffle prizes for the competitions.

I would also like to say a big thank you to all those who took the time to bake for competition days. Homemade baking is always very much appreciated.

We now look forward to the Presentation Evening on Saturday 25th November. Attached is a table of winners and runners up for 2023.

Like last year, the engraving of the trophies will be done at the turn of 2024; in good time for the opening of the 2024 season.

As ever, lastly, but by no means least, a huge thank you to my forever wingman – David Levy.
