Away from what have been busy greens at the club, Madeira sponsor, financial advisor Ian Crook, visited the club recently to present a cheque to our president Jacky Howle, writes Jenny Smith.

Ian is getting increasingly involved in the life of the club and his decision to continue his sponsorship is greatly valued and appreciated.

Last year his support enabled the club to install a new water heating system, which does away for the need to test for legionnaires disease and saves Madeira over £1,000 a year.
