We had so many positive comments on how well marked the course was that a special thank you for a job well done goes ta Hob Branson and Tom Miller. Bob was one of the original re-organizers of the club and the originator of the Daffodil Century. Due to other obligations he has not been able to Participate in club activities in the past couple of years, so welcome back. Also a note to Hob- Flease be careful, we don*t want to loose you again, and congratulations for the determination and for completing the Sanctioned Fatch Century.
