Auction Dinner

One of the social highlights of Burhill is the October Auction Dinner on the Friday night followed by the Dinner Foursomes the following morning.

Not exactly sure how it works, but I believe that pairs are drawn up with a combination of a higher and a lower handicap player and then an auction follows giving you the chance to back whom you believe will do well.  I will check this aspect out on Saturday...

This year, this takes place on 8th/9th October and I have taken the liberty of pencilling in our names for a table in the last slot available 

Roland has already told me that he is swanning off on a drug-company/our taxes-financed jolly in Morocco and cannot make it.  Anyone else interested?

I'll need to make a decision by Sunday if we want to release our slot...  Thanks
