THE PRESIDENTIAL YEARS
1984 John Roy and Geoff Tweedale scored 53 points in the Wednesday 4 ball event.
The fact that they had the highest honour bestowed upon them, placed them on a plane higher than their fellow members, but, this honour was the reward for countless time spent in labour for the Club they loved so well. It is to men like these that the Club owes a debt, which cannot be repaid in kind and cannot be penned in praiseworthy word. In appreciation of their efforts, their biographies have been recorded for posterity. The continued success of any venture is dependent on its leadership. May we salute our presidents.
