Captains Match Reports 2026 Season - December 2025 to November 2026

Good to see so many members and our guest James Hollis at Tidworth for our final meeting of the year; I hope you all enjoyed it at as much as I did. So sorry Andy and Jeff your car let you down Andy [next time buy a Toyota?] but no doubt you will tell us all about it at our 1^st meeting next year.!

 

We had Sam and Dierdre from Andover Young Carers join us for breakfast and they did a great presentation on how the charity functions, the important work they do and why the fund raising is so important. Sean then presented a hastily prepared 'cheque' for £2500 which was very gratefully received .

 

After a fortifying breakfast  [but just possibly not a too healthy one], Sean and Tony did their usual excellent job of presenting accounts and general housekeeping. Thank you guys, I am definitely going to need you next year!

 

And then the baton of captaincy was passed onto myself, and I am in no doubt at all that you will join me in thanking Ray for his excellent work over the last 2 years and wishing him a full and speedy recovery from his operation.

 

Golf course was playing very well and we were incredibly lucky with the weather; great decision making there Tony on which day to play!

 

As mentioned, after what will be an absence of 6 years, the famous Andover Golfing Society Charity Day will be back! Please see attached flyer. The two 9 hole courses that we will play make for some great golf, and with 18 teams should generate a substantial donation for Andover Young Carers. Yes, it is 6 months away, but lots to do before then and 3 months before we meet up again in March. So do please advise your teams [or part teams] ASAP and if you are able to provide anything for the raffle and auction, again, please let us know .

 

So one way or another Ray, Sean and Tony have left the society in great shape and ready for the New Year, venues for March to July will be advised as soon as possible into the New Year.

 

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in March
