The runner-up, after a card playoff, was Paul Rickard (67 points) and Mick Whelan was third (69).

Division 2 winner was Steven Crowhurst, who went out in 49 and came home in 41 with five pars for a gross 90 (net 69). Runner-up, after a card playoff , was Martin Evans (69), while Dale Chiverton (69) was third, also following a playoff.

The club also had some sad news last week about Jim Given, who passed away on June 15 aged 75.
