Another traditional pre-Christmas blast, a 3.5 mile dash (santa hats optional, but great to see a number in evidence plus at least one in full santa gear) before returning to the club house for mince pies and the presentation. Congratulations to Dave Madders for winning the handicap, fastest time of the evening being recorded by Adair. Good also to see a couple of ‘old’ faces who we haven’t seen for a long while. Weather was surprisingly mild and dry for December.
