David wins trophy in memory of his son
Woolton Group Chairman David Hawkes became the first winner of a golf trophy which he and his wife Francine donated in memory of their son.
In a break from the usual British weather the competition took place in beautiful conditions at the Woolton Golf Club.
The event was extremely well attended with 33 playing golf and 43 dining. Assistant to the Provincial Grand Principals, Clive Jefferies, and Assistant Provincial Grand Master Stanley Oldfield were in attendance.
Unfortunately the Assistant Provincial Grand Master with responsibility for the Woolton Group, Dennis Rudd, was prevented from attending due to a security scare at Euston Station.
Graham Sinden (Chairman of the Woolton Group Golf) won the Geoffrey Hirst Trophy for the best front nine.
Not to be outdone the Woolton Group Chairman David Hawkes in a twist of fate won the Noel Hawkes Trophy for the best back nine. This was the inaugural year of this prize as it was donated by David and his wife Francine in memory of their son Noel who tragically died last year.
Mrs Hawkes presented the new trophy to her husband.
Dramatic Lodge (Richie Woods, Peter Woods and Tom Grover) retained the Cyril Smith Team Trophy just beating City Lodge. Ray Erskine of Mariners Lodge won the President’s Trophy for the best individual score.

There were six teams each with four members in the skittles competition and at the end of the evening the winning team was the ‘Princes’ from Prince’s Park Lodge
