Norman Lodge Golf Tournament 2007
The tournament was held at Darlington Town Golf Club, on 25th April when 96 competitors took part in the day-long tournament. There were two separate competitions of eight and ten holes in the morning, and the eighteen hole main competition in the afternoon.
Members from a variety of Lodges and many non-masons took part.
They were well fed with bacon butties on arrival, pie and chips etc at lunch time and a three course evening meal. The evening was completed with the many presentations by Alan Bainbridge our S. Warden, and entertainment by a local comedian, Rudi West.
The overall winner was Mr. Nigel Doyle, and many others gained prizes from the multitude of side competitions. The whole event ran very smoothly, thanks to the excellent organisation of Alan Dufton and the help he received from non-players and the outstanding services of Darlington Golf Club.
