The monthly medals were contested over the weekend and produced some close results. In Friday’s event, countback was required to determine Bobby Allan (72) as the winner from runner-up Frank Howroyd (72) followed by third-placed Ron Murray (73). Saturday’s medal went to Alan Berry carding a nett 70 with Mark Duguid (71) in the second spot and third placed Alex Tindell (73). On Sunday, just 1 point separated the first four places, but it was Ray Beadell who eventually emerged triumphant from Jonathan Watson (both nett 70) and Kevin Gough a close placed third (71)

Barry Meddle rolled back the years on Sunday to win the prestigious Kennedy Cup. The 36 hole competition, played over the weekend, saw Meddle card a fine nett 140 and finish two shots clear of runner-up Rodney Hall (142) and third placed Hugh (142).

The ladies contested their Autumn Meeting on Thursday and countback was needed to decide both competitions. Mandy Moir took the stable ford competition with 31 points from  Hazel Webber (31) and Teresa Hirons in third. The afternoon Texas Scramble was won by the team of Barbara Hall, Susan Meddle and Pat Pace with 17 points.

Sunday’s Single Bogey competition ended tied as Rod Hall and Rick Chadwick both finished at 2 up, but Hall prevailed as countback gave him victory over Chadwick and third placed Ray Jones (all sq).

In the D. Condie Trophy, 30 points was enough to secure winners spot for Susan Meddle from runner-up Christine Berry (27) and Hazel Webber (27) in third.

Andrea Clarke recorded a comfortable victory on Ladies Secretary's Day taking first place with 34 points ahead of runner-up Pat Pace (28) and Hazel Webber (27) in third.

Trevor Innard retained the Rochford Cup on Sunday. Last year’s winner was level par for the morning back nine holes to go 6 up at halfway and although opponent Baz Patel put in a spirited afternoon performance, Innard was never likely to give up his grip on the trophy and took the match 4&3.

The ladies Gold Medal became almost match-play as two players finished several shots clear of the remainder. It was Susan Meddle (150) who eventually took first prize from Teresa Hirons (152) and third placed Pam Hayhurst (160).

It was a similar story in the Full Stableford as Lorna Steel (36) won with a 12 point margin from runner-up Gilian Lang (24) and Gloria Goldring (23) in third.

It was a family affair on Sunday as the Mounsey’s completed a 1-2 in the Gold Medal. With the fine weather encouraging some sparkling golf, it was Trevord Innard (66) who led the way after the morning round, but it was young Nicholas (69) who finished in great style and 137 to take first place from runner-up Richard (140) and third placed Andrew Nash (142).

In the Silver Medal, Chris Robinson (69) secured first place on countback from Graham Jones (69) and Jonathan Watson (73) in third.

The ladies contested the Norah Shinn and with just 2 points separating the first three places, count back was again required to decide the outcome and eventual winner Barbara Hall (32) just taking the honours from Teresa Hirons (32) and third placed Susan Meddle (31).
