Metro 2010..............

As I foreshadowed at the Metro breakup and confirmed in the Club Captains report it is not my intention to be the Team Advisor/ Manager for the Metro team in 2010. Despite some indications the competition my be changed to align it more closely with the revised Blank & Simon Cups it appears at least for the 2010 year Metro will remain the same.

The first round of matches is scheduled for the 31 January 2010 and in order to be in readiness a succession plan has been finalised. That well known eclectic golfer Steve "Scoreboard" Ellis has accepted the mantle of leadership and will be ably assisted by that doyen of the Christchurch Golf Club - Ben "I'm awake" Frampton. A ceremonial handing over of the notebook and the file will take place in the next few days and then await further contact from Steve.

Many thanks to all the members who have assisted me in the past four years to place a team out on the tee, unfortunately we have not been that successful but it was not from a wont of trying!! I hope to continue to make "the odd" appearance for Metro subject to selection criteria but at this date I do have a very healthy handicap!!

The other Metro legacy is that the genesis of this blog was from the Monday reports following the Sunday games; negotiations continue as to journalistic expectations!!!
