Pickwick Bicycle Club Magazine. Volume 9 No.2 July 2012

The splendid Namby Cup for the member with the best Stableford score was, as I mentioned
previously, only contested by 4 Pickwickians. It it gives me great personal pleasure to inform
members that the winner was Smithers 38 points (hcp 17). Samkin was a very credible second
on 34 points (hcp 19). In third place was Mr Wicks 29 points (hcp 21). Finally bringing up the
rear but with a very commendable 27 points was
Baille Mac Something (hcp 28).

The Jinkins Balls are awarded for something
exceptional and this year’s recipient achieved this
whilst not actually being on the golf course. It is
my duty to inform you that Baille Mac Something
was seen attempting to drive a golf buggy away
whilst the recharging lead was still attached to
electricity point on the clubhouse wall. For this
remarkable piece of Pickwickian behaviour Baille
Mac Something was unequivocally awarded the
Jinkins Balls.

After the golf and cycling members and guests sat down to an excellent four course luncheon
of:-
Taipei Salmon, followed by Tomato and Pesto Soup. Then the inevitable Lamb Shank!

Fresh Fruit Millefeuille or Cheese and Biscuits and ending
with coffee.

During luncheon Baille Mac Something kept us up dated with
Bradley Wiggins progress in the Criterium de Dauphine of which he
was finally the victor.

Chef Martin and his team once again provided fine food and
excellent service.

Harpenden Common Golf Club very kindly, in recognition of the
Brian Phillimore
Pickwick Golf Society’s long association with the club, presented
1st. Guest with 37 pts.
the Society with a voucher for a 4 ball to play at the Club valid until
June next year. It was decided to auction this during the luncheon
with the proceeds going to Jack Martin’s charity SHELTER. The auctioneer was Mr Brookes
who, despite his shy and retiring nature, did an excellent job and the voucher raised £160.00.
This added to the collection made during the meal from our generous members and guests raised
a magnificent total of £349.90 and 2 euros (I don’t know who).

Thanks go to Peter Magnus for producing the excellent and amusing menu cards
All in all it was an excellent day but it would be good to see more Pickwickian golfers next year
