The morning started early with 44 golfers, including Captain Mick Pryke, who began their round at 8am. Despite a storm brewing nearby, the golfers made it through seven holes before the rain arrived, providing a good watering.
After the round, golfers enjoyed a meal and drinks at the Terrace Bar, served by JuanLu, Maya, and the two Fernandezes. A charity award of £500 was presented to Javi for his work with the Orihuela Club de Rugby. Throughout the day, golfers won various prizes, including a bottle of wine and branded golf towels. On the evening of Captain's Dinner, a Cava reception was held at Meson El Prado.

Incoming Captain Paul Lambert and Vice-Captain John Batterby shared heartfelt words. Members generously donated raffle prizes, raising £350. The green fee auction raised £1,320, and the night ended with a party filled with music, dancing, and karaoke.
Over £1,670 was raised for local charities, thanks to the support of attendees, raffle prizes, and the green fee auction.
