AWAY DAY 2009

The Strathmore Seniors' Away Day this year will be at Ballater Golf Club.

The date has been fixed as Tuesday the 18th of August and the cost at GBP 35 per head including the round, coffee and bacon roll before and a two course meal after the round.

I am assured by some of you who know the course that it is a relatively flat course and that previous visits to it have been enjoyed by all.

The tees have been reserved for 10.30am to 12.00 noon and the list for names will appear on the notice board shortly.

We had 30 participants in 2008 at Edzell, let's see if we can use up our full tee quota this year and get at least 39.

All the best,
