A NEW captain and president were named at Ghyll Golf Club's AGM on Wednesday, January 9.

The outgoing captain Ian Magill said he enjoyed his year in office and he thanked members for their kindness and support.

His chosen charity, UK Children’s Cancer, raised £1,400.

He then thanked the various committees for their hard work throughout the year and also the greens staff and bar and catering staff.

Finally he thanked last year’s lady captain Desley Mitchell and outgoing president Steve Mortimer for their support throughout his year.

He also said he had an enjoyable year and thanked everyone for their kindness and respect throughout his year as president.

The 2019 captain is Keith Whittingham, who has been a member at Ghyll for 22 years.

It will be somewhat of a family affair at Ghyll this year as his wife, Sue, is lady captain for 2019.

The 2019 president is Bob Bugler, who was captain in 2012.
