On Saturday 2th March we had Norwegian day. A total of 84 players took part. Many volunteers have participated in preparing and running the day. The weather was alternating with sometimes strong wind, light rain, but also sun - just like a normal Norwegian summer day.
At the 8th tee, samples of typical Norwegian food were served, as well as a small glass of aquavit or other drinks. The players seemed to appreciate this.
Afterwards there was a gathering with prize distribution in the clubhouse. The prizes also had a Norwegian feel, with a large side of smoked salmon for each of the winners. The prizes were given by Norwegian members of the club, many thanks to them. Unfortunately, the winners had left the clubhouse when the prizes were awarded, this also applied to those who finished second and third. The ceremony can never be the same when the winners are not present and receiving the prizes.
But it was a successful day with lots of smiles and laughter.
There was also a presentation to Eddie Kassner our Competition Secretary, well deserved for all his hard work.
