Newsletter 2002 ROYAL AIR FORCE GOLFING SOCIETY NEWSLETTER 2002 revised The golf programme introduced lastyearseemsto havemet with generalapproval. The inaugural Summer Meeting which was heldatNewark was a resounding success and the Club looked afterusverywell. We had 39 including 4 ladies andmany of theparticipantswere favour in of making Newark aregular base for the Meeting. However,the Committee feels that thetime for beingthe venue should alternate between theNorthMidlands and the South which was the proposal approved at the Annual General Meeting in 2000. This year's Summer Meeting will be at Piltdown; Lincoln Golf Club (also known as Torksey) and Newark are possiblevenues for2003. Reducing the Championship Meeting from two days to one resulted in the highest attendance forsome yearswhenwe had 37. Jon Marks retained the Championship Trophy with a three over par score of 145 and Malcolm Middlemist playing off 10 handicap won the Handicap Cup with 139. theearly part ofthe year the In weather played havoc with many golf programmes and our annual match with West Hill was cancelled due to flooding. Also the Brent Knoll Bowl at Burnham and Berrow was postponed from Marchto August. We followed last year's win in the by just losing Bowl in the final. Our participation in the Graham Butler foursomes at Ferndown had to be cancelled last atthe minute. Mick Young, ourorganiser and captain, was rushed into hospital on the day before the event with a suspected heartattack. He was diagnosed ashaving viral meningitis and as he was not allowed tousehismobile telephone in the intensive care unit themessages got somewhat garbledand we failed to produce team.a This year wehave been invitedto enter the Cornish Piskeyto be held atNewquayin October. We played 16matcheswith disappointing results:won4,lost 11 and 1 half. Ourinaugural match with Royal Cinque Ports was a most enjoyable dayand we look forward to playingat Deal again. Frilford Heath Golf Club hasrecently reviewed its programme ofmatches and our match, has was which been going for 4years, unfortunately casualty.a However, we have an addition to annual our programme with amatch againsttheRoyal Engineers Golfing Society to be played at Gog Magog. Attendance atour other golf meetings was much the sameas in recent years. We had 37 for the Spring Meeting at Luffenham Heath; 28 for the Guest Meeting at Denham,32 for the Yorkshire Meeting at Fulford and17 for the Winter Meeting at St George'sHill. The turnout forthe Guest Meeting is disappointing. It is very good value asDenhamgive us a generous and discount wehave the course to ourselvesforthe whole day.

  • The Crews Introduction to Biographical Section
    Part Two - The Crews Introduction to Biographical Section All told, 111 Blenheim aircrew took part in the 2 Group raid on Rotterdam docks on 16th July 1941. Miraculously, some of them lived to see the end of the war, often by surviving hairy crash-landings or ditchings to become prisoners of war for the duration. To be able to interview many of the participants of this raid was a great privilege. I was lucky to have commenced my research in time for these first-hand accounts: any later, and I would have fallen into the same category as an historian writing about, say, the Battle of Hastings. Here was a real link with history. Here was a chance to bring alive just one isolated example of the courage that Blenheim aircrew needed in their battle for survival. More to the point, it is possible to portray the personalities and life stories of most of the aircrew on this raid: not only possible, but, to my mind, mandatory that such a record should be made, lest we forget...The approach that I have tried to adopt for this section of the book may be familiar to service personnel. When someone was 'dined out' at the end of his tour of duty, of maybe 2½ years, the nets would be cast wide for snippets of information to be assembled for the after-dinner speech delivered by the President of the Mess Committee. Skeletons would be raided from their cupboards in an effort to paint as comprehensive a picture as possible of the departing individual.
