Captain’s Letter
I kick off this month
with thanks to OIB for
their sponsorship, Kate
Mason for officially
representing GINS at
Richard Collick Snr
Funeral and Jill Parker
for bringing the diary
Covers from the UK, hopefully that’s all
she has brought and the weather will
remain Spanish for a few more weeks.
Debate is as healthy as ever at the committee
meetings, various proposals banded about didn't
get the time of day to go to the EGM, that is not
the vehicle for such issues. The EGM is solely to
decide on the matter of the joining fee, and to
that end I would like to say it does really effect
all members since the society is reliant on
continuing to attract new membership.
(Spanish Federation Members in particular at
the meeting please)
Our Society is again happy to announce the

By the time of the next Newsletter we will have
the Charity Days upon us, I do believe that even
after the troubles in the Global financial sectors,
we are still privileged to be doing what we want
from day to day, and I hope you will all
contribute to these days being successful for the
chosen GINS charity for this year, that of the
Spanish arm of Cystic Fibrosis. Sincere thanks to
those who have already made donations in the
way of prizes.
Peter Jenkins should have stimulated a re-write
of the GINS history section, Peter does not have
access to the website, so he was a little
disappointed that he was not mentioned in an
article in the local rag recently, the article was
drawn from our own web page, so that needs a
little correcting, good old Rob!!
By the time you read this Newsletter, Ellen
Hughes will have taken over the Anoreta phone
and will be arranging the games for a couple of
weeks, thus the effectiveness of a course / rep’s
specific phone number is proven.
The GINS diary will be available from the 17th
November, so don't rush out to buy one
elsewhere!
Also, The Cajamar three course Club
Championship is November, at Anoreta an
arrangement has been made for a 'Two + Buggy
Deal' to keep costs lower, so hopefully we shall
see many of you at the three courses this year,
and all of you at your 'usual' course. Until then
continue to enjoy the benefits of GINS, on and
off the course. Steve Colbridge

“It really makes a difference” says
Audrey Williams of Cystic Fibrosis Trust
in her letter to Bridget Lloyd-Edwards in
response to receiving our GINS cheque.
“As you know, our team of 80 dedicated
scientists working in the UK CF Gene
Therapy Consortium is the largest group
of dedicated CF Gene Therapy
researchers in the world. These scientists
have now developed a gene therapy
product to correct the faulty gene that
causes CF and our clinical trials have now
started with the pilot
Study (single dose trial). This is research
that hasn’t been attempted on this scale
anywhere in the world and has the
potential to prevent 90% of deaths in CF
and it is only with the help of people like
the GINS that we are able to fund this
vital work.”
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY AT
LOS MORISCOS ON A FRIDAY, YOU MUST

Jokes of the Month
JACK AND JILL
Jack was about to marry , and his father took
him to one side and told him, 'When I
married your mother, the first thing I did
when we got home was take off my
trousers. I gave them to your mother and
told her to put them on.
When she did, they were enormous on her
and she said to me that she couldn't possibly
wear them, as they were too large. I told
her, of course they're too big. I wear the
trousers in this family and I always will. Ever
since that day, we have never had a single
problem.'
Jack took his father's advice and as soon as
he got Jill alone after the wedding, he did the
same thing; took off his trousers, gave them
to Jill and told her to put them on. Jill
said that the trousers were too big and she
couldn't possibly wear them.
'Exactly,' replied Jack. 'I wear the trousers in
this relationship and I always will.
I don't want you to forget that.'
Jill paused and removed her knickers and
gave them to Jack. 'Try these on,' she said .
So he tried them on but they were too small.
'I can't possibly get Into your knickers,' said
Jack. 'Exactly,' replied Jill. 'And if you don't
change your ******* attitude, you never
will.'
A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles
while taking a bath. 'Mum', he asked, 'Are
these my brains?' 'Not yet,' she replied.
