CAPTAIN'S DRIVE-IN

NERVOUS SMILES! before the big hit!

Over 70 members enjoyed an excellent day on Saturday as we witnessed the usual nervous Captain's Drive-In, but we are pleased to announce both Captain's performed to the highest level. Congratulations must go to the Vice Captain's Team in defeating the Captain's Team by the narrowest of margins. Above is the Gents and Lady Captain's action shot!

Last but not least:-

THE CAPTAIN'S NEW SHOES!
