A Timely Reminder

After your comment on the blog looking for news. Was wondering if it was worth reminding Sandpipers about “Speed of Play” as we are at that time of year again when the light goes very quickly in the afternoon, and those out towards the back end of the field struggle to complete their round. It’s important that all players are mindful of this and keep moving at a reasonable pace.
Cheers

Thursday 24th November

Ten of us faced today's howling gale. At least it didn't rain.
Joe Campbell scooped the pot with 34 points.
Things seem very quiet at the moment - let me know if you have anything interesting to publish.

Tuesday 22nd November

The early morning drizzle cleared away in time for 21 of us to tee off.
Joe Holmes returned to form with 37 points and Grant Anderson second with 34.

Thursday 17th November

Better late than never they say!!
Joe Campbell won Thursday's outing with 35 points followed by David Allison with 34 in pleasant conditions.

Tuesday 15th November

32 points looked good until Ian Porter came in with 36. Eddie Varah had to settle for second place on count back.

Thursday 10th November

Three scores of 35 points led the field so after count back Willie Smith took first prize, Trevor Wilson second and Ian Porter going home disappointed.
Our annual Bottle Trot on Tuesday 13th December will be followed Christmas Lunch chosen from the £14 menu everyone has recently received in the post.
A list is available for those who wish to attend, and nearer the time members will be required to pre-select their choice of dishes.
If inclement weather makes play impossible lunch will commence at 12.30pm, otherwise around 2.30pm.

Tuesday 8th November

David Low's good form continues with a 40 points win in gloomy conditions.
Roy Williams came second with 36 from a total of 23 Sandpipers.

Thursday 3rd November

21 Sandpipers turned up (eventually).
Charles Woodhouse took the pot with 36 points and a very surprised Trevor Wilson came second with 32.

Tuesday 1st November

The Sandpipers' handicap system seems to be working as David Low's 35 points was enough to win first prize in benign conditions with Roger Cutts' 33 points securing second place from a field of twenty two.
Allonby Road Diversion Signs:
After making extensive (and expensive) enquiries in the local hostelries it appears that the diversion signs refer to the closure of the Allonby to Westnewton road which shouldn't affect anyone travelling to Silloth from Maryport..
I'll make further enquiries tomorrow to confirm this so "watch this space".
