Winter Scramble: A scramble is always a popular competition both in winter and summer and last Sunday was no exception, with excellent scoring, Ian Smith's team carding 12 birdies, but only managing third place to the winning team of Kevin Rayner who also had 12 birdies but had a better handicap allowance.

Both teams returned gross 60s. Leading scores: 56.9 Kevin Rayner, Mike Greenwood, John Forrester and Martin Fuller (3.1hc); 57.6: Derek Harle, Kevin Clinton, Simon Bishop and Kevin Scott (7.4hc); 57. 8 Ian Smith, Steven Whitwham, Ian Ratcliffe, and Mark Smith (2.2hc), also Ian Morris, Bill Barclay, Pauline Morris and David Munton (4.2hc). Card countback required.
