Remembering Tim Guilding!

On Monday 7th August we had a mixed tennis tournament for Tim with eight of us playing for the honour of taking home a pair of bespoke glass coasters inspired by Tim.


These have a yellow "T" for Tim (to celebrate his enjoyment of tennis) :

then red and white for his favorite rugby team (Gloucester) :

and finally white to link in with his golf exploits.


The players!



The food etc!




The winners!


Congratulations to Kate and Arthur on their win!



Kate sent this photograph in later that afternoon of her winning coaster on display in her house beside her grandson's Lego sunflowers and her daughter's knitted ones!





..... and then on Wednesday 9th August, Steve, Geoff and Ken competed for Tim's Golf Trophy - the 3rd time it has been played for.  

We played 9 holes at Alton Golf Course, which is where we usually played golf with Tim.  This year it was all square on the last hole with Geoff hitting a fine vein of form to win in the end.  After that we raised our glasses for a toast to Tim!


The trophy!




The players




The winner receiving his trophy!


Many congratulations to Geoff!
