The 2003 End of Season Celebration Dinner |
| Friday 28th November - the Warwickshire Union held its annual celebration dinner at Copt Heath Golf Club, with over 180 guest attending from many of our clubs, from the Midland Counties and with Mr Philip Parker, Chairman of the EGU, as the principal guest.
It was the 1st team who won the Midland League last year and for 2003, it was our 2nd team who were to receive the league trophy, having won in such dramatic fashion in the final match of the season. The presentations were made by John Tickell, trying (as per his position as MGU President) to be unbiased but in his own words, more than happy. |

The Bainbridge 2003 – It’s a Home Win! |
| No other club, since 1979, has provided the two finalists for the Bainbridge Shield, the oldest Warwickshire Trophy. Twenty-four years ago, for the first time it was Coventry Hearsall and for the 2003 final, between the ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams from Hearsall, the morning 18 was watched by a player from that final. There was a good gallery but with weather conditions deteriorating as the day went on, great golf was not possible. |

Its a Warwickshire Win! |
 |
|
Warwickshire approached this final against the strong Nottinghamshire side with some trepidation due to the absence of three regular members of the team. Our strength in depth meant that replacements of a good calibre were available although Chris Dougill(Stoneleigh) was a last minute stand in without previous experience in the under 18 side.

Rob Browning is No 1 on the JoM |
| Rob Browning was one of 9 players in with any sort of chance of overhauling the 2002 JoM No1 Chris Evans at the start of the JoM Championship. In reality though, just four players could take Chris s title - the others would have to rely on Chris taking last place. The four were Dale Marson, Rob Browning, Chris Hazeldine or Sam Foster. |
