"I would like to start by congratulating Colin Peters on an extremely successful year as Captain. We have had some extremely healthy numbers for club competitions and I hope that we can continue in the same way for 2012.
Unfortunately, we have had a disappointing year this year in the Frank Wills Salver, however, as I write this we are still going strong in the Cornish Bowl, so long may that continue all the way to the final! I would like to thank Colin and Jon for encouraging Trethorne to participate in County Week for the first time in a number of years, and to congratulate Simon Schofield and Pete Hodgins for their runner's up spot in the Goblets - a fantastic achievement!
I have consulted with this year's Lady Captain (unfortunately I live with her!) and we have decided to support the Cornwall Air Ambulance as our charity for this year. I am sure that you will all agree this is a cause well worth the club's support.
I am really looking forward to being your Club Captain for this year. It is a real honour for me to be in such a prestigious position at one of Cornwall's best and up and coming golf clubs, which boasts one of the finest courses in the county. I will endeavour to serve the club and its members to the best of my ability. It is most definitely going to be a challenge balancing my club and work commitments, however, I am determined to conquer the challenge and give it 100%.
