TOM DALYS LAST WEEK
Our Chef and Catering Manager, Tom Daly, officially retires this Sunday, 18th October. We hope you can call out to the club during the week to enjoy Tom’s delicious food one more time and to wish him well. We are sad to see Tom go and would like to sincerely thank him for everything he has contributed to the club over the years. His wonderful food, hard work and friendly presence will certainly be missed.

We don’t think we’ll be saying goodbye for too long! As Tom is now an Honorary Life Member of the club we are sure he will be back through the gates very soon — only next time with the chef’s whites swapped for the golf gear and his golf bag in tow!
