THE AUTUMN MEETING AT HUNSTANTON ON 15-16 OCT
This year the meeting is at Hunstanton with singles and foursomes competitions and a dinner on Saturday night at the King William 1V. Maximum number is 16 and I have entries already from Chris & Nick Luddington, Neil Gray, Nigel Wright, David Ewbank, Don Jeffreys, Hugo Douglass and Matt Bazeley. We also hope that OSGS members of Hunstanton, Hamish Edwards, Tim Maynard and Julian Stocks will also play to reduce the green fee cost for the rest of us.

The entry form is attached. If you have any questions about the meeting don’t hesitate to contact me at p.j.g.simmons@herts.ac.uk or 07957 141826
 
Match v Old Gregorians at New Zealand on 3 Sept
William Waddell-Dudley has a team of 8 already but may need reserves so check him out at William.waddell-dudley@talbotuw.com
 
Match v The School at Stoke Park on 28 Sept
We pay no green fee for this match, courtesy of Old Stoic Chester King, so would encourage younger Old Stoics to play. Currently we have three players down for this fixture but none of them are under 30! Contact Match Manager, Peter Simmons p.j.g.simmons@herts.ac.uk
 
Grafton Morrish Finals at Brancaster/Hunstanton on 7-9 Oct
Having qualified for the first time since 2013, Haydn Brooks haydnbrooks@gogglemail.com is selecting the team to will play Culford (they last qualified in 2001) in the first round of the Grafton Morrish at 9.04am on Friday 7th Oct at Brancaster. If you want to be considered please contact Haydn as it will make his job a lot easier.
 
Dick Watson Trophy at Aldeburgh on 8/9 Oct.
Jeremy Scowsill’s jeremyscowsill@btconnect.com  team for this event is William Hill, Ian Bendell, Nigel Wright and himself. Additional schools have entered this year despite the fact it clashes with the Grafton Morrish Finals further up the coast.
 
Match v Old Haileyburians at Sunningdale on 6 Nov.
For the final fixture of the year contact Peter Comber peter.comber@parkasset.com
We need a strong team to break the sequence of defeats in this fixture.
