Prizes for Lichfield DIocese' golf team as the annual inter-diocesan heads for the nineteenth.
The annual gathering of Church of England golfers was held at Moor Hall Sutton Coldfield in July. Lichfield Diocese scooped up two prizes at the Ecclesiastical Inter-Diocesan Golf Tournament. Diocesan members, Mick Williams, Ben Whitmire (last year's individual champion), Roger Howarth and Neil Robbie won the prize for low handicap team over the morning's 18 holes with Roger and Neil picking up best pair in the afternoon 9-hole competition.
This might be the last annual tournament. Ecclesiastical Insurance has been a wonderful sponsor, subsidising the day and providing prizes for over 20 years but has chosen to end support. At the same David Sceats, one time Diocesan Board of Ministry Team Leader and Director of Local Ministry (Lichfield) and Prebendary of Lichfield Cathedral, who has convened the tournament for over 20 years, has also decided it's time to retire.
