The annual Memorial Golf Day was played recently at Stoke Rochford Golf Club, this annual event, now in its 13th year saw 158 members and guests play the course which was in brilliant condition, weather conditions were also very good to us. The halfway house was manned throughout the day by the Jones family and friends. First drinks being served at approximately 7.30am and the house closed at 7pm, a long day but such fun. The usual over 480 sausage rolls consumed, washed down with liquid refreshments courtesy of team Jones and all the lovely ladies who made the beautiful cakes. It is so nice to see a lot of Chris's old friends from all aspects of his short life, his school friends, cricket mates, the guys he played rugby with at Kesteven, the football friends and not forgetting the golfing circle, the family are grateful for their support each year.
