To conclude the trophy presentation Blake Dowling was presented with a memento of his record equalling round of 66, recorded earlier this year.

On the Friday evening before the playoff the Club celebrated Awards Night for both senior and junior players, with presentations to all championship winners during the year, followed by a Calcutta auctioneered by the silver tongued Bill Trevor, with commentary (not always complimentary) by Rodney Wagner. The supper provided by members was a taste delight.
