Cotswold Hills President Peter Hatton welcomed everyone to Cotswold Hills and handed over to County President Sue Rawles thanked everyone inside and outside the Clubhouse for their great hospitality and welcome 'you have been brilliant since we arrived on Friday'.
Sue went on to thank Wayne Vincent and the green keeping staff for presenting the course in such excellent condition and to Dave, Tom and Richard for looking after us indoors. She also thanked the members and Club alike for sharing the course and clubhouse with us 'not everyone wants us for 3 days - let's hope the builders are finished soon!'
'The County Championships could not go ahead without the referees. Thank you Carol, Bob Newton, Derreck Butler and Adrian Lee for giving up your time to help us this weekend and Linda and Sue who did very well running their first Championship - you can look forward to a lie in tomorrow and know that everything will be a doddle after this!'.
'It's been good to see a few fresh faces. Over the last three days we have watched everything that is good about golf including friendship and respect. Thank you also to all the Mums and Dads, chauffeuring and caddying and no doubt pleased to be sitting down at last'.
'Well done to ALL the competitors - you make the Championship what it is...it's been an absolute pleasure to watch you all this week.
