The team consisted of Mike Joyce, Joe O’Farrell, Paul Manning, Alan Harris, Martin Gibbs, Neil Ninian and Marcus Swanston. The first 3 matches, produced 2 wins and a half before the 2 stars of the team finished their matches to seal the win.

Paul would like to give Jason Brant a special thank you for placing his flag in line with the white tee, "Just in case he missed it!!" and thanks to everyone that came down and bought a flag, we managed to raise £227 for the Sue Ryder charity.

You will be aware from recent communications from the Captain that we are looking to upgrade the facilities in the Ladies Locker room, specifically the shower and toliet area.
The list of replacement items is too long to list, so we are providing the members with some pictures of the area to show why improvements are needed. View these photos here
We are also looking to upgrade the Mens locker room to match up with the Ladies specification.
Details on both projects will be made available to the membership in due course.

| Helping to Avoid Slow Play |
| Slow play at East Berkshire Golf Club is not generally a problem. The Committee have however been approached about slow play on Saturday mornings and in competitions.
On the morning of Saturday 23rd Feb, we provided all members with guidance around the time most members expected to be able to play 18 holes. We should aim for 3 hrs 30 mins, anything over 4 hrs is considered slow.
Please take the time to review the guidance on slow play which is the notice board in the club house and the pro shop. |
| Are you good enough? Sun 2 Mar 2008 |
| The First team is made up from a number of players with a handicap of about 6 or below. We are looking for new people to play Foursomes League matches this year, if you are interested in playing please email jamesejohnson@btinternet.com. Its free to play and the fixtures can be found at www.rdicl.co.uk

| Mail On Sunday Round 2 Sat 1 Mar 2008 |
| A good start to the season by both the men and ladies sections, both winning the first round matches in this team event. Sadly the men lost at West Byfleet in the freezing cold and wet conditions. Steve Barwick was teh only member of the team to pick up a point in a 4 v 1 defeat.
The good news is that the ladies march on towards the next round. Again! Well done.

| Juniors v First Team Sat 1 Mar 2008 |
| On the 1st March the Junior Team played a Fourball better ball match against the First Team legends selection. This match has become a launch pad for the teams to get into battle mode for the season ahead. As has been the tradition over recent years, the match was very competitive and some great golf was played along with some poor golf, Steve Bland will testify to that. The crunch match was the top match in which David Cowap and Neale Bishton were defeated by 1 hole by Ben Holland and Alex lodge. Alex made a birdie 3 at the last to win the game but he doesn't like to talk about it much. The overall match result was a draw, 2.5 v 2.5 so we look forward to next year and a rematch.
