Cha’s 50th Birthday celebrations 18th June
After Thursday’s rollup the members celebrated a big birthday with Cha and presented her with some gifts from the member and the Club. Cha is someone who makes everyone’s day with her permanent smile and lovely manner and it was wonderful that the membership had an opportunity to recognise her contribution to making the Club so special for all of us.
Cha enjoyed lunch on the Terrace after the presentation and was looked after by 4 new members of SRC bar/restaurant staff as Jezza, David & Kay Tyler and Nicky Triay donning SRC staff shirts and aprons and waited on Cha and her guests. Cha confirmed the new ‘staff’ did such a great job.

La Liga Interclub – SRC V’s La Zagaleta Friday 19th June
SRC welcomed a team from La Zagaleta for the home fixture in the new La Liga interclub competition. The match was played in the right spirit with a great bunch of guys who were hugely complimentary of the welcome they received at SRC, the condition of our course and the quality of the lunch. La Zagaleta definitely brought their A+ game and won 12.5 to 5.5. Its only half time in this fixture and SRC will be seeking revenge in the return match at La Zagaleta on 1st July.

The course is in fantastic shape and looking great. Work this week will include:
