It was wonderful to be able to enjoy some al fresco competition on the golf course on Thursday 8th July as the OS faced our Staff/former Staff golfers in our annual tournament at Bishop's Stortford Golf Club.

To keep team numbers equal they were formulated as follows:

OS Team 2021:

Robert Baker (GH,SH, 82-89)

Godfrey Dutton (AH, 60-64)

James Greenall (GH,AH,65-74)

Paddy Ireland (MJH,HH,69-78)

Peter Lennie (SH,72-75)

Simon Lipscombe (HH,90-95) (Staff 11-present)

Peter Smith (AH,64-68)

Ollie Lennie (RPH, 15-20)

Bob Kisby (Staff,73-11)

The Staff/Former Staff team 2021:

Graham Brooks (04-present)

Gary Law (03-20)

Trevor Novell (66-18)

Rod Reed (72-18)

Steve Sabey (13-present)

Mark Self (03-present)

Paul Stanley (18-present)

Christine Stanley (19-present)

Colin Williams (79-17)

It proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable day on the fairways and the rain held off until the final few holes. Tournament was played in great spirits with some outstanding performances from both teams.

Before the presentations were made a wonderful dedication and toast was raised following the loss of OSGS stalwarts John Hickling (GH,SHa, 47-56) and Stuart Findlay (GH, SHa, 55-61) since our last tournament. Gratitude was expressed for their years of dedicated service and their loss was acutely felt by all.

Huge thanks to all the players for taking part and congratulations to the 2021 prize winners:
