Brilliant event!  Well done Demetri (& friends)!

Congratulations to everyone who contributed, especially those who were 
victorious in their matches, keeping the trophy "up't North".

Although the course wasn't in particularly good condition(& neither was 
I), the weather was superb, plenty of friendly "craic" on & off the course.

After all the Northern banter beforehand, it was a very close contest - 
10/9, Mondays individual stableford matches were easily won by the 
Southern team.

The Williams Cup winner, Bill Seddon must have had a really good round 
on some very difficult greens.  Well done sir!

Many thanks to my playing partner on Sunday, Ken Hoyle, for rescuing our 
match.
To Simon, who easily beat me on the Monday, well played!

To all my fourball playing partners, Ken, Richard, John Gibb jr, Paul, 
Simon & Judy, great company.

Finally I have uploaded some pictures to "t'inernet" they can be seen at

http://www.cig.canon-europe.com/a?i=kICYae1pp7

I think you are able to download them, if you want them that is, they 
stay "live" for 30days I think.   More will follow as I have around 40 
decent snaps to add.

May I echo Chris's thanks to Demetri (and Malcolm) for another excellent 
event. Even the weather was under control.

Occasionally during the year, and especially around the FoA hiatus, one 
wonders if the time to join in is really available.
However, the minute you arrive to a warm welcome from everyone you slip into 
a routine of chat, beer, food and golf which is so good you wonder how you 
could possibly have any doubts.
It was especially pleasing that the event was so tight this year with the 
result was in the balance right up to the last game.  The sight of people 
hanging over the balcony of the clubhouse asking anxiously about the state 
of the last two matches on the course as we approached the 18th green showed 
just how much tension there was.

To Capt'n Chris who shared with me a hard fought tie on the first day and 
our opponents JG Jr and Richard many thanks for a fine day of golf.
To my dinner companion over a couple of bottles of red and my opponent on 
the second day, Malcolm, my appreciation for your time and the gracious way 
you let me win :)
The legs may be a little shakier but the wit and wisdom are as sharp as 
ever.

Congratulations to Bill on a fine win and to "Hickory" for an excellent 
runner-up spot, you won the sartorial elegance prize easily.

It was great to have Paul & Monica join us, I hope you got through customs 
OK with your goodies.
A welcome also to Angela, whose support of Richard was so effective he did 
not lose a game.

And so to next year, where-ever Bill takes us.
When its time to sign up and the doubts start creeping in, don't think, just 
join.

Customs was o.k., but weight might have become a problem:
We started with three items well under 20 kg each (2x individual free
luggage + 1 free golf bag) and returned with three well over 20 kg. It was
weird to see each item being marked as "heavy" but we were lucky to get
away free of charge.

Indeed Janet and Chris can be a formidable pair and I am sure your good

Perhaps the presence of more spouses with the southern team could turn the 
run of results around ;o)

Whatever you do, don't mention Monica to Sonia, I mentioned it once but

May I echo Chris's thanks to Demetri (and Malcolm) for another excellent

Occasionally during the year, and especially around the FoA hiatus, one

However, the minute you arrive to a warm welcome from everyone you slip into

could possibly have any doubts.
It was especially pleasing that the event was so tight this year with the 
result was in the balance right up to the last game.  The sight of people 
hanging over the balcony of the clubhouse asking anxiously about the state 
of the last two matches on the course as we approached the 18th green showed

To Capt'n Chris who shared with me a hard fought tie on the first day and 
our opponents JG Jr and Richard many thanks for a fine day of golf.
To my dinner companion over a couple of bottles of red and my opponent on

The legs may be a little shakier but the wit and wisdom are as sharp as

Congratulations to Bill on a fine win and to "Hickory" for an excellent 
runner-up spot, you won the sartorial elegance prize easily.

It was great to have Paul & Monica join us, I hope you got through customs 
OK with your goodies.
A welcome also to Angela, whose support of Richard was so effective he did

Just goes to show there are as many golf swings as people with a golf 
swing - hilarious ROFL :-)

Customs was o.k., but weight might have become a problem:
We started with three items well under 20 kg each (2x individual free
luggage + 1 free golf bag) and returned with three well over 20 kg. It was
weird to see each item being marked as "heavy" but we were lucky to get
away free of charge.

Homer and myself, too, may have taken some profit of our spouses' presence.

Indeed Janet and Chris can be a formidable pair and I am sure your good 
showing had a lot to do with the presence of Monica.
Perhaps the presence of more spouses with the southern team could turn the 
run of results around ;o)

Whatever you do, don't mention Monica to Sonia, I mentioned it once but 
I think I got away with it ;-)

OOOOPS!! Many apologies Sonja and Paul. I can only put it down to the lack 
of caffeine when I wrote it this morning.

I think it was Chris who was taking pictures !

Perhaps we should all call ourselves Bruce (or Sheila, as appropriate)
to avoid confusion ?  [A Monty Python joke.]

"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates '81

May I echo Chris's thanks to Demetri (and Malcolm) for another excellent 
event. Even the weather was under control.

Occasionally during the year, and especially around the FoA hiatus, one 
wonders if the time to join in is really available.
However, the minute you arrive to a warm welcome from everyone you slip into 
a routine of chat, beer, food and golf which is so good you wonder how you 
could possibly have any doubts.
It was especially pleasing that the event was so tight this year with the 
result was in the balance right up to the last game.  The sight of people 
hanging over the balcony of the clubhouse asking anxiously about the state 
of the last two matches on the course as we approached the 18th green showed 
just how much tension there was.

To Capt'n Chris who shared with me a hard fought tie on the first day and 
our opponents JG Jr and Richard many thanks for a fine day of golf.
To my dinner companion over a couple of bottles of red and my opponent on 
the second day, Malcolm, my appreciation for your time and the gracious way 
you let me win :)
The legs may be a little shakier but the wit and wisdom are as sharp as 
ever.

Congratulations to Bill on a fine win and to "Hickory" for an excellent 
runner-up spot, you won the sartorial elegance prize easily.

It was great to have Paul & Monica join us, I hope you got through customs 
OK with your goodies.
A welcome also to Angela, whose support of Richard was so effective he did 
not lose a game.

And so to next year, where-ever Bill takes us.
When its time to sign up and the doubts start creeping in, don't think, just 
join.

Indeed Janet and Chris can be a formidable pair and I am sure your good 
showing had a lot to do with the presence of Monica.
Perhaps the presence of more spouses with the southern team could turn the 
run of results around ;o)

Whatever you do, don't mention Monica to Sonia, I mentioned it once but 
I think I got away with it ;-)

OOOOPS!! Many apologies Sonja and Paul. I can only put it down to the lack 
of caffeine when I wrote it this morning.

I think it was Chris who was taking pictures !

Perhaps we should all call ourselves Bruce (or Sheila, as appropriate)
to avoid confusion ?  [A Monty Python joke.]

"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates '81

May I echo Chris's thanks to Demetri (and Malcolm) for another excellent 
event. Even the weather was under control.

Occasionally during the year, and especially around the FoA hiatus, one 
wonders if the time to join in is really available.
However, the minute you arrive to a warm welcome from everyone you slip into 
a routine of chat, beer, food and golf which is so good you wonder how you 
could possibly have any doubts.
It was especially pleasing that the event was so tight this year with the 
result was in the balance right up to the last game.  The sight of people 
hanging over the balcony of the clubhouse asking anxiously about the state 
of the last two matches on the course as we approached the 18th green showed 
just how much tension there was.

To Capt'n Chris who shared with me a hard fought tie on the first day and 
our opponents JG Jr and Richard many thanks for a fine day of golf.
To my dinner companion over a couple of bottles of red and my opponent on 
the second day, Malcolm, my appreciation for your time and the gracious way 
you let me win :)
The legs may be a little shakier but the wit and wisdom are as sharp as 
ever.

Congratulations to Bill on a fine win and to "Hickory" for an excellent 
runner-up spot, you won the sartorial elegance prize easily.

It was great to have Paul & Monica join us, I hope you got through customs 
OK with your goodies.
A welcome also to Angela, whose support of Richard was so effective he did 
not lose a game.

And so to next year, where-ever Bill takes us.
When its time to sign up and the doubts start creeping in, don't think, just 
join.
KenH

I have filled the present allocation (100mb) on the canon site, there 
are now picci's of all the players,  apologies for deleting a couple of 
shots to accommodate this change.

Just goes to show there are as many golf swings as people with a golf 
swing - hilarious ROFL :-)

Customs was o.k., but weight might have become a problem:
We started with three items well under 20 kg each (2x individual free
luggage + 1 free golf bag) and returned with three well over 20 kg. It was
weird to see each item being marked as "heavy" but we were lucky to get
away free of charge.

Homer and myself, too, may have taken some profit of our spouses' presence.
