The Marriott Forest of Arden, one of UK’s top golf destinations, was the place NMBS members and suppliers gathered to see who could ‘make the cut’ in the NMBS Masters on 24th July 2008.

Refreshingly, after last year’s wet conditions, the sun was beating down so those taking part were up for a challenging day’s play.

New for 2008 was the nine-hole ‘Texas Scramble’ competition, which took place in the morning. The winning teams were:

Team One
John Rivers – Gwent Building Supplies
Steve Eddy – Catnic
Spencer Wright – PVC Building Supplies
Paul Belenger – PVC Building Supplies

Team Two
Peter Kingsley – Forest Garden
Derick Balser – Norbury Fencing
Cliff Price – Norbury Fencing
Kevin Pease – Pease of Garforth

The afternoon then saw NMBS members and suppliers take to the fantastic Arden Course for a full 18 holes, working up a substantial appetite for dinner back at the clubhouse! Winners of the various awards in the 18 hole competition were as follows:

1st Place Michael Maughan –  F E Maughan	2nd Place  John Wyatt –  Kingsley Bathroom	3rd Place  Lorcan Anglin –  Pagets Builders Merchants
