An excellent day of cricket and lunch which saw a reunion of two 1990 cricket sides, one 2004 side, Vice-Presidents and Hockey Club members.
Dave Parry gave a speech on the day and the event saw a fundraising amount of £1350 towards the Hub Club project.

High Post Golf Club was the setting on Wednesday May 19th for the Salisbury & South Wilts Sports Club’s Golf Challenge Day.
Being run by South Wilts Cricket Club, the previous two events had proved a successful way of raising funds for the Salisbury & South Wilts Sports Club Clubhouse Project, and with Rob Wade receiving excellent help from Bill Moulding and his book of business contacts, this year promised a best yet profit!
In fact the proceeds from the day were around the £5000 mark with several sizeable donations appearing too, so an overwhelming success for all concerned..
A total of 23 teams participated in the golf itself with a raffle and auction taking place in the evening; all contributing to the excellent success story. Organiser Rob Wade said “We had a terrific reaction to the fund-raising rally cry - 23 teams, hole sponsors and a great list of auction items. The fact we got good weather as well just set everything off nicely.”
For the record, the results of the day were as follows:-
