Sixty-seven of the competing players gathered in the lounge for the prize-giving and Winter League dinner afterwards, enjoying a most enjoyable pre-Christmas dinner prepared by the club caterers, SS Catering, before they were royally entertained by fellow golfers and speakers Murray Waddell and Billy Greene, with non-stop jokes and amusing tales.
