Yes, well done Bill, and congrats to John.

Am I allowed to say that it's the taking part that's important, and the 
result is secondary? Apart from when I'm playing you of course, Demetri. 
Next year I shall bring a putter that doesn't go off in my hands like a 
bazooka with a hair-trigger.

I had a very enjoyable time, thanks in the main to the company, both on 
the course and in the bar after. Thanks all for coming, and I hope 
everyone had as good a time as I did.

Fully agree, a really delightful couple of days.  It was great to see
so many old friends, and to make half dozen or so more.

Yes.  It's what the Southerners say every year!
