The 43rd playing of the Sydney Cartwright Salver competition was kindly hosted by Mickleover Golf Club Derby. John Sadler, Mickleover Club Captain, Tim Coxon, Club Professional, Joy the Stewardess and Graham Finney, the Club Secretary were all on hand to greet the members and were all thanked by John Carr, Society Captain, for providing facilities that were enjoyed by all.

Spen Stanway, Society President acted as starter for some 70 members playing on a sunny and showery day. Mickleover players filled First and Second places Don Hickey coming out on top with 42 points from Tony Annis who returned 40 points. Colin Barnard (Ex Shirland) clinched Third Place with 39 points.

The Best Senior on the day was Ray Johnson of Derby G. C. and Best Veteran was Brian Cooper (Ex Stanedge).

The Captain presented a cheque to the Mickleover Captain for his charity the “Air Ambulance” and concluded by looking forward to seeing as many members as possible at his Captains Day at Cavendish on 16th June.
