Veteran’s Golf: August 16

By Graham Turvey

WE had a cake and candles plus the singing of Happy Birthday for Mal Bruce on his 83rd birthday at Denman when the Vets played a stableford event on Tuesday, August 16.

Thank you to the Denman volunteers for the excellent state of the course – mown fairways, raked bunkers etc.

Thank you Wendy Dever for purchasing the pies and heating them for our lunch.
