The annual Walker Cup was closely fought for and the eventual winners were the captains with a creditable score of 40pts beating mother and son Laura and Harvey Perkins on the back nine.

In third place were vice captains Helen Lewis and Nick Downing with 37pts.

The cup was donated to the club by Jeff and Betty Walker who were joint captains in 1979. 

Their son Robert came to present the cup to the winners and thanked the members for supporting the competition every year.

The popular Roberts Salver was won by vice captain Helen Lewis with 37pts ahead of Kay Thomas with 36pts. Jane Raw-Rees was third with 34pts.

The salver was given by the late Sue Roberts who was a past captain and a most prominent member of the club.

There was an excellent turnout for this event which shows the high regard the ladies have for the Roberts family.

Shan Powell, daughter, presented the salver and thanked everyone who had taken part.
