After 7 years of sterling service to the Club, Iain Deacon, the popular Assistant Professional in our shop, left us on 15th March to take up a new opportunity and a new challenge in America.  Iain became a fully qualified European PGA professional in November 2007, and is now taking responsibility for a golf Course and Driving Range in Eatontown, New Jersey. To show the Club's appreciation and to show our thanks to Iain, a little farewell event was held at the Club on Saturday, 13th March, at 4 pm. There was a presentation to Iain followed by some "drinks and nibbles" and the lounge was full of well-wishers, reflecting the high esteem in which Iain is held.

Iain was accompanied by his family and a number of friends.
