TGC Team Supper 2010 : Sept 24th

Following this year’s excellent result in the NDGL the TGC team squad enjoyed an informal supper at the club , guest of honour was this year’s sponsor Jimmy Turnbull and attending on behalf of the NDGL executive was Arthur Laws.

The award for the best team player of the year went to Austin Robinson ,seen in the photo wearing the 2010 “TGC Green Hat” ( due to funding constraints we were unable to afford a Green Jacket ) .

The only disappointment of the evening was the failure of local celebrity Cheryl Cole to attend and present Austin with his prize …. She did send her sincere apologies and sent Austin a small token of her affection and a framed photo by way of a small keep sake.
