DearMembers,

The end of June and month of July has been an exciting time at Cambridge Country Club

The end of June saw David Robinson's Men's Captains Day and had a great turnout, bringing the membership and their guests together The third of July was Colin Dye's turn hosting his Senior Captain's Day. Thankfully I only gave away a smaller amount of balls this time around doing the beat the pro challenge! Both days were fantastically run and great fun.

Well done to both Captains and their support teams.

The Men's Captain's overnight away event took place at Hanbury Manor and it was a privilege for me to join 19 other members for the away trip The event comprised of a Ryder Cup style format and was closely contested. Well done to the Captain's red team that narrowly won the match against Vice Captain Trevor Peer's blue team.

The Captain's events raise a great deal of money for the Captain's charity and are well supported. we recently held the NHBC Charity Golf Day at CCC and the event raised over £5000 towards Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity

We look forward to the Ladies Captain's Day on the 25th of July and wish Donna well for her special themed day I'm promised some content after the Ladies event.
