A social occasion for the Rabbits and their ladies when Craig Harrison the Rabbits' captain hosted a pre-season dinner in the clubhouse.

Although a social event, the underlying purpose was to make the ladies Aware that their partners may be absent on match duties over the forthcoming season and to encourage their support for Craig, presented all the Ladies with an Easter gift.

Although the course was still not fully fit from the previous week's soaking, the elderly gentlemen turned out in good numbers to enjoy a dry and mild day's golf with the following leading Stableford scores: 35 points Alec Crow (16), 34 Brian Knapton (11) and Jim Walton (28). Card countback required.
