NORTHUMBRIA Golf Breaks spring competition week at Valle del Este, Almeria, Spain proved a huge success.

Numerous players from the North East region participated in the event, which has become a firm favourite.

Once again there were "fun fines" for lost balls and £100 was raised for the air ambulance charity.

The dates for the next Northumbria Golf Breaks mixed competition weeks are Septemebr 27 to November 4, which is full, though there are still spaces for the trip on October 4.

Overall points winners during the week were: Men: Winner, Brian Simon (La Manga), runners-up, Les Maynard and Roy Pearce (Middlesborough Municipal); Ladies: Winner, Ruth Maynard (Cleveland), runners-up Candy Brown and Jean Thomson (Parklands & Teesside).
