Contribution to the Venerables:

Played a very important part in setting up the Senior Section of the Club. He made a special effort to ensure that all newcomers (particularly potential Venerables) were introduced to existing members. Did much to encourage and assist in group activities, whether golfing or social - and even acted as club salesman for the Venerable ties. Set up the first UK tour to Barnham Broom with 21 Venerables, the second year we returned there this time with 44 Venerables and their Apprentices. Joined in most of our away days - including France 2001, his first trip abroad.

Wife Viv, and son Steve did much to enhance the Venerables' ambiance. Viv and Ken presented the fine UK Tour trophy to the Venerables.
