The Annual Golf Day ……..

Smithers relates that “Our Annual Golf and Cycling Day” took place at Harpenden
th
Common Golf Club on Thursday 7 June in splendid conditions, with blue skies and warm
temperatures. To say it was a golf and cycling day is really a misnomer as there were no
cyclists on the day. The absence of Mr Justice Stareleigh, taking a well earned holiday, and
his organisational skills was a significant factor, and so I sincerely hope the cycling turnout
will be better next year.

Harpenden Common Golf Club once again provided a welcoming and charming setting for
the day. There was a minor incident when a member was asked to remove his hat by a new
bar staff member but this was quickly rectified by the ever helpful golf club secretary,
Terry Dunn. The afternoon proceeded with members wearing full club uniform although
permission for jackets to be removed during luncheon was given due to the warm
temperatures.

As usual we dined well with an excellent repast of butternut squash soup, smoked
haddock au gratin and roast lamb followed by profiteroles and coffee provided by Martin
and Tina and their team. For those of us not driving there were real ales and a good
selection of wines. I would recommend members, even if they do not wish to play golf or
cycle, that they come and dine as the food is excellent as is ,of course, the company.
