This year, the club, which was formed in 1957, celebrates it’s 60th anniversary, writes Vaughan Fletcher.

In recognition of the occasion Shirley Fletcher baked a commemorative cake which was presented to the club on the day of the annual Silver Jubilee Cup Competition. This competition, kindly sponsored by John Williamson and Sons of Chardstock, was won by Simon Hatcliffe, Alan Waddington and Arthur Callagan and the runners up were Norman Denslow, Nicky Mugridge and Mike Copp.

Last Monday the club held its annual ‘Battle of the Sexes’ competition with the men’s team running out winners by 16 shots.

In other news, the latest results have seen excellent wins for the ladies’, away to Petherton Ladies, and the men’s Over-60s Triples League A team, at home to Crediton A.
