'GEMS MEMBER HAS A HOLE-IN-ONE!'


Maurice Butterworth was unfortunate to achieve one when "driving" his car into the Car Park, hitting a kerb (which remained undamaged) but ruining his tyre.

Fortunately, Chief Mechanics Cotton B. and Smith S. were on hand to fit the spare wheel.

But was the cost of a new tyre cheaper than buying a round of drinks?!
