The Glittering Prizes!

On the 14th September, of the Autumn meeting he Province 19 Golf society was held at Hoebridge Golf Club in Woking. Bro. Mervyn Burby, who is this year's Captain of the Society, overcame challenges from 24 other brothers to win the Weybridge Trophy which was presented to him by the runner up Bro.Tom Finnegan of Epsom circle.

Not surprisingly Guildford Circle also won the Wimbledon Salvers. These are awarded to the best combined score from two brothers of the same circle and the deserving recipients were Bro. Mervyn and Bro. John Mercer.'

I wasn't provided with a photograph of Bro. John Receiving the Wimbledon Salvers along with Bro. Mervyn, but on the occasion he might have reacted something like this!

Gimmee both of them!

Ladies, Sons & Daughters Night

September 7th saw 'Un Soir Magnifique' which was, as usual, held at the Guildford Golf Club. By all accounts, it was rather a tight squeeze with 120 brothers, ladies, sons and daughters in attendance. However, I understand that the evening was a resounding success which you will gather from the selection of photographs, courtesy of Bro. Chris Devereux, below. Sadly yours truly, the Guildford CMKO, was not there as I was cruising the Mediterranean with Anne which is the reason this entry is so late appearing on the Blog.

Eight days later, on the15th September, Gabriela Vickerman whose lovely picture you will see in the Blog, gave birth to a baby girl, Juliana, who weighed in at 7 lbs 4 ozs. Congratulations to the proud parents, Patrick and Gabriela also to the proud grandparents on both sides especially to our own John and Angie Vickerman.

Don't know about you but I'm starving!

With all these people present it could be standing room only!

There are so many brothers registering I'm running out of space!

O'Grady says clasp your hands!

What's on the menu? There'd better be some real man's food!

Yes there is!

Sorry to interrupt but it appears you haven't paid for your meal

I'm staying out of this!

A happy and enthusiastic table!

Another happy and enthusiastic table?

Can we order a jug of wine instead of water?

It's yummy mummy!

The Eyes have it!

I've been told not to eat too quickly

Oops! pardon me

Presentation is everything, don't you think?

I could be a grandmother at anytime now

One more drink and he'll be out like a light!

See what I mean!

Revived!

Take your hand off my knee!

Don't panic, it's an E-Cigar!

Have you seen the wine bill?

OMG!!

After several drinks Bro. Jan is captured singing the Welsh National Anthem in Polish!

I'll give you 10 minutes to stop that!

Here comes the photographer Roger, adopt a suitable pose

Yeah that's good Roger

He's gone, you can relax now Roger!

On the band's last gig we were one member short so, as well as the Sax, I had to tinkle on the Piano whilst playing with my Bongos!

I just didn't get any of the jokes.

This must be a Selfie!

And now, the end is near and so I face the final curtain.

My friends, I'll say it clear, there's one thing of which I'm certain. I did it myyyyyeeee waayeeeeee!
