RTWCC - History

Our teams have a little more success than in 2009, but nothing too exciting. However, some individual notable successes in 2010 are Mick Greagsby winning the Pat Apple trophy in California, Aaron Westerby captaining New Zealand at the MacRobertson Shield, Alex Jardine "victor of the seeds’ graveyard quarter" in the Southwick Salver and winning Ramsgate Advanced Weekend, Jon Diamond being second in Southwick Midsummer and winning our Open Golf Handicap Tournament. Alex Jardine and Jon Diamond represent Kent at the InterCounties.

David Evans joins as our new Lawn Manager and we're upgrading our Club House facilities with lockers and electric hand dryers. We run the first Finals Day for some years, which is declared a success.

Carolyn Gunstone and Kate Sander joined the Committee, replacing Elaine Houslop and Roger Morris.

Miriam Reader, a long standing member and sometime Committee member, dies in December and leaves us a bequest.

2011 was nothing special, with our SECF teams having even less success (despite one of our away opponent's being Ryde, Isle of Wight, and having to visit us!). The lawns are still in good condition as we acquire yet another Groundsman, Ray Kemp, early in the year. Still, a new competition that succeeded well was an internal Golf teams held on a Tuesday evening, won by Mick Greagsby's team.

None of our players won any of our external tournaments, but notable was a player from Uruguay who won our Open Golf, and promised to donate a cup for next year. John Hobbs won the Over 75 class at the National Veterans, so now holds the Pidcock mallet trophy!

Our new flag and banner got a paid outing to Hever - hopefully some new members in future (and a return visit in 2012), and we can report that two of our members, Richard Smith and Jo Wadman, got married.
