Welcome to 2025 and a very happy New Year to all of you. The past two weeks have flown by with many golf events at the Club. I have heard that Christmas Day lunch was a resounding success with 140 people sitting down to a delicious buffet lunch – Well done the San Roque Team.
From the 24th December until 5th of January we have had 7 golf competitions, whilst we all managed to fit in Christmas and New Year. I would like to thank Michael and Svetlana for their support during this Festive time.
The letter has been sent out for the vice captaincy role for 2025-2026. I know Svetlana will make a wonderful captain and I am sure with her new vice they will make a great team from April. It so important to work together, which Svetlana and I have done over the past year.
What follows is a mass of photos really showing quite how busy the club has been in these past two weeks – enjoy !!!
