Big thanks too our Sponsors Jail Dornoch and Whyte & Mackay.
My thanks goes to all the staff and volunteers at the club. Ross and his team for presenting the course in immaculate condition. To Stuart, Robert & Craig for their fantastic BBQ night, Liam for his Quiz to start us off. To Stuart for getting the competitions off on time and looking after their smooth running. To my staff, Marion,Jaide,Reona, Lisa, Gail, Eryn & Trisha for their hard work in the Kitchen and bar. And to all the young waiting staff, you did the club proud. Last but certainly not least, to Dorothy for all her hard work in the office, pulling it all together and making others work so much easier. Hope you all enjoyed the two weeks and we look forward to welcoming you back next year
