Mullion Club Captain Mark Greet welcomed competitors to the club and hoped they had all enjoyed their rounds. Greet and former CGU President Glyn Rowett presented vouchers to the prizewinners who were present. It was fitting that Rowett, the original donorTof the trophy was then able to present it to Trethorne.
Thanks were expressed to Mullion GC as every part of the day went well thanks to the efforts put in by the club staff. The Mullion course received lots of plaudits for its condition – a tribute to what Gordon Tamblyn and his small team are able to deliver.
